Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of any municipality may petition the circuit court to have property declared abandoned if there has been no active water service to the property for 2 or more years. Provides that the owner of record of property that a municipality seeks to declare abandoned may waive certain rights. Provides that notice of a petition to have property declared abandoned may be made in person (as an alternative to certified or registered mail). Makes other changes.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Removes municipal corporate authorities' authorization to petition the circuit court to have property declared abandoned if there has been no active water service to the property for 2 or more years.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the introduced bill with the following changes. Removes municipal corporate authorities' authorization to petition the circuit court to have property declared abandoned if there has been no active water service to the property for 2 or more years. Provides that, if a party (not the owner of record) files a request to demolish or repair a building and proves to the court that the building has been demolished or put in a safe condition in accordance with local safety codes (instead of the municipality's municipal code), the court shall issue a quitclaim deed to the property to the requesting party. Provides that, if the requesting party is the owner of record and proves to the court that the building has been demolished or put in a safe condition in accordance with the local safety codes (instead of the municipality's municipal code), the court shall dismiss the abandonment proceeding. Effective immediately.
