[April 10, 2002] 6 Section 25. Execution. A certificate of release authorized by Section 15 must be executed and acknowledged as required by law, as in the case of a deed, and may be executed by an officer or a duly appointed agent of a title insurance company. The agent must be a currently registered title insurance agent of the title insurance company. Section 30. Appointment of title insurance agent. (a) The appointment of a title insurance agent must be executed and acknowledged as required by law, as in the case of a deed, and must state all of the following: (1) the identity of the title insurance company as the principal; (2) the identity of the person, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or corporation authorized to act as title insurance agent to execute and record certificates of release provided for in this Act on behalf of the title insurance company; (3) that the title insurance agent has the full authority to execute and record certificates of release provided for in this Act on behalf of the title insurance company; (4) the term of appointment of the title insurance agent; and (5) that the title insurance agent has consented to and accepts the terms of the appointment.

(c) A title insurance company may create an instrument, executed by an officer of that company and acknowledged in the same manner as a deed, appointing one or more title insurance agents authorized to issue certificates of release under this Act. This instrument shall designate the county or counties in which it is to be effective and shall be recorded with the recorder in each each of those counties, either as an original instrument or by recording a copy certified by the recorder of one of the counties. A separate appointment of title insurance agent shall not be necessary for each certificate of release. The appointment of an agent may be re-recorded where necessary to establish authority of the agent, but the authority shall continue until a revocation of appointment is recorded in the office of the recorder where the appointment of title insurance agent was recorded or on the date, if any, in the recorded appointment document. Section 35. Effect of recording certificate of release. For purposes of releasing the lien of the mortgage, a certificate of release containing the information and statements provided for in Section 20 and executed as provided in Section 25 is prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein, and upon being recorded with the recorder, shall constitute a release of the lien of the mortgage described in the certificate of release. The title insurance company or title insurance agent recording the certificate of release may use the recording fee collected for the recording of a release or satisfaction of the mortgage to effect the recording of the certificate of release. Section 40. Wrongful or erroneous certificate of release. Recording of a wrongful or erroneous certificate of release by a title insurance company or its title insurance agent shall not relieve the mortgagor or the mortgagor's successors or assignees from any personal liability on the loan or other obligations secured by the mortgage. In addition to any other remedy provided by law, a title insurance company executing or recording a certificate of release under this Act that has actual knowledge that the information and statements contained therein are false is liable to the mortgagee for actual damages sustained due to the recording of the certificate of release. The prevailing party
7 [April 10, 2002] in any action or proceeding seeking actual damages due to the recording of a certificate of release shall be entitled to the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in that action or proceeding.

HOUSE RESOLUTION 786 Offered by Representative Franks: WHEREAS, The State of Illinois' Proposed FY 03 Budget reduces the mental health appropriations for McHenry County by $1,059,742, resulting in a 17% decrease in the overall State Budget for mental health services for individuals residing in McHenry County; and
11 [April 10, 2002] WHEREAS, Between 1980 and 2000, the number of people receiving mental health services in McHenry County increased by 150%; and WHEREAS, The State of Illinois has not kept pace with population growth or inflation increases in its funding for mental health services for McHenry County; and WHEREAS, When adjusted for inflation, McHenry County received less funding in 2000 than in 1985 from the State of Illinois for mental health services; and WHEREAS, the loss of this funding will significantly reduce the quantity and the quality of behavioral health services for individuals with mental illness and developmental disabilities residing in McHenry County; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge Governor Ryan and the Secretary of Human Services to help restore the $1,059,742 in cuts to mental health services for McHenry County; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the Governor and to the Secretary of Human Services. HOUSE RESOLUTION 789 Offered by Representative Hultgren: WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives finds that the State of Illinois should develop a housing policy that provides its citizens with affordable, safe, and accessible housing; and WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives finds that this housing policy should reflect a long-term perspective that meets the needs of all citizens of Illinois; and WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives recognizes that Illinois has been ranked as the tenth least affordable state in the United States in regard to housing; and WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives recognizes that as a result of the pending loss of affordable units through expiration of affordability clauses in national programs, we are facing an escalating crisis in affordable rental housing, with 41% of our renters unable to afford a typical two-bedroom apartment; and WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives recognizes that new federal guidelines that call for expensive but necessary procedures for lead-based paint abatement will draw on current resources, meaning less money for new units; and WHEREAS, The Illinois House of Representatives recognizes that over 1.1 million Illinois households are living in unaffordable, overcrowded, or inappropriate housing as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the Chair of the House Urban Revitalization Committee to establish, under House rules, a special Subcommittee on Affordable Housing to examine and assess legislation, programs, and policies affecting affordable housing development and affordable housing resources in Illinois; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall hold public hearings to solicit public opinion and draw upon the knowledge of experts and that the Subcommittee may call upon all State agencies for assistance; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall examine and assess affordable housing needs in Illinois with special attention given to multi-family housing; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall identify and assess available funding sources and determine funding gaps; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall make policy recommendations that meet the housing needs of residents of the State of Illinois; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall give particular attention to the enactment of housing policies and programs that would meet the
[April 10, 2002] 12 needs of low-income, very-low-income, and disabled households in Illinois; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Subcommittee shall work with local and statewide affordable housing advocates in the State of Illinois to accomplish its tasks; and be it further RESOLVED, That by January 1, 2003, the Subcommittee shall complete its examination and assessment of legislation, programs, and policies and submit a report with recommendations to the members of the Illinois House of Representatives and to the Governor who is elected at the general election in November 2002.
