Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

The Department, or representative of a unit of local government or
health department approved by the Department for this purpose, shall report any
violation of this Act to the State's Attorney of the county in which the
regulated facility is located. The State's Attorney has the authority to charge the owner with a Class
A misdemeanor, and shall take additional measures to ensure that rent is
withheld from the owner by the occupants of the dwelling units
affected, until the mitigation requirements under Section 9 of this Act are
complied with.

No tenant shall be evicted because rent is withheld under the provisions of this Act, or because of
any action required of the owner of the regulated facility as a result of enforcement of
this Act.
