Louis S. Viverito is a former Democratic member of the Illinois Senate, representing the 11th district from 1995 until his resignation in 2011.

In 1969, Viverito began his career in public service when he was elected Stickney Township Democratic Committeeman.

In June 2007, Viverito was told by Democratic Senate President Emil Jones that he was not welcome in a closed-door Senate meeting and was replaced on the Senate Rules Committee, allegedly due to Viverito's loyalty to Jones' rival, House Speaker Michael Madigan,[2] whose district largely overlaps Viverito's.

This law helps more individuals qualify for an assessment freeze by raising the income threshold from $35,000 to $40,000.

This caps the annual increases on the property tax assessment of the homes of individuals 65 years or older who have applied for the freeze.
