Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Tenants Radon Protection Act. Provides that the purpose of the Act is to protect residential tenants from radon hazards. Provides definitions. Provides that before a lease is signed, a landlord shall provide to each tenant in a dwelling unit any records or reports pertaining to radon concentrations within the dwelling unit that present a radon hazard. Provides that if a tenant performs a radon test, the tenant shall provide to the landlord the test result within 10 days after receiving the result. Provides that before a lease is signed a landlord shall furnish each prospective tenant with a prescribed form of disclosure of information on radon hazards and any test result. Provides that nothing implies an obligation on a landlord or tenant to conduct any radon testing. Provides that a lease may be terminated under designated conditions concerning radon. Provides that this is a limitation on home rule powers. Contains other provisions. Effective January 1, 2011.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions substantially similar to the bill as introduced except that: the landlord shall provide the tenant with an Illinois Emergency Management Agency radon guide for tenants; adds to the rental property disclosure form a statement that IEMA strongly recommends that rental property be tested and an acknowledgment of the tenant's receipt of the radon guide; a landlord may have 30 days to obtain a radon test after a tenant's notification of a test revealing radon; provides that a measurement by a radon contractor is valid for 5 years; and deletes provisions concerning the termination of a lease. Makes other changes. Effective January 1, 2011.

New Act

735 ILCS 5/15-1503from Ch. 110, par. 15-1503
735 ILCS 5/15-1508from Ch. 110, par. 15-1508

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that a copy of the notice of foreclosure of residential real estate shall be sent to the municipality or county in which the property is located by first class mail (instead of sent pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure). Provides that the mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lien holder shall furnish the confirmation order to the last-known insurer of a residential building in writing by first-class mail after the mortgagee, judgment creditor, or lien holder becomes the mortgagee-in-possession. Provides that the failure to send or receive a copy of the order does not affect the rights of the mortgagee or purchaser or affect the foreclosure proceedings. Makes other changes. Effective July 1, 2011.
