House Floor Amendment No. 2
In provisions concerning notice of tax sales, provides that the advertisement and the collector's online database shall include the street address for the property that is on file with county collector (instead of "the street address"). Provides that a provision requiring the collector to employ automated means applies only in counties with more than 10,000 inhabitants.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:

Provides that, if the tax sale is recorded and no automated bidding system is used, then the recordings shall be maintained by the collector for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the tax sale. Removes a provision from the engrossed bill providing that notice of application for judgment against delinquent properties shall be published at least 30 days (instead of 10 days) before judgment is applied for.
