| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4280 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||
5 | adding Section 9-2-4.5 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (65 ILCS 5/9-2-4.5 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 9-2-4.5. Special assessment for payment of costs | ||||||
8 | associated with certain ordinance violations. | ||||||
9 | (a) For purposes of this Section, "Code" means any | ||||||
10 | municipal ordinance that requires, after notice, the cutting of | ||||||
11 | weeds, the removal of garbage and debris, the removal of | ||||||
12 | inoperable motor vehicles, or the abatement of nuisances from | ||||||
13 | private property.
| ||||||
14 | (b) In addition to any other method authorized by law, if | ||||||
15 | (i) a property owner is cited with a Code violation, (ii) | ||||||
16 | non-compliance is found upon reinspection of the property after | ||||||
17 | the due date for compliance with an order to correct the | ||||||
18 | ordinance violation or with an order for abatement, and (iii) | ||||||
19 | costs for services rendered by the municipality to correct the | ||||||
20 | violation remain unpaid at the point in time that they would | ||||||
21 | become a debt due and owing the municipality, then those costs | ||||||
22 | may be collected as a special assessment on the property under | ||||||
23 | this Division. However, on the date of closing of a sale of | ||||||
24 | property on which a special assessment has been assessed under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
