    AN ACT concerning revenue.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  



 
 
    Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended  by changing 
Section 21-145  as follows:
 



    (35 ILCS 200/21-145)



    Sec. 21-145. Scavenger sale. At the same time the County 
Collector annually
publishes the collector's annual sale 
advertisement under Sections 21-110,
21-115 and 21-120, it is 
mandatory for the collector in counties with 3,000,000
or more 
inhabitants, and in other counties if the county board so 
orders by
resolution, to publish an advertisement giving notice 
of the intended
application for judgment and sale of all 
properties upon which all or a part of
the general taxes for 
each of 3 2 or more years, including the current tax
year, are 
delinquent as of the date of
the advertisement.  In no event may 
there be more than 2 consecutive years
without a sale under 
this Section. The term delinquent also includes
forfeitures. 
The County Collector shall include in the advertisement and in 
the
application for judgment and sale under this Section and 
Section 21-260 the
total amount of all general taxes upon those 
properties which are delinquent as
of the date of the 
advertisement. In lieu of a single annual advertisement and

application for judgment and sale under this Section and 
Section 21-260, the
County Collector may, from time to time, 
beginning on the date of the
publication of the annual sale 
advertisement and before August 1 of the next
year, publish 
separate advertisements and make separate applications on

eligible properties described in one or more volumes of the 
delinquent list.
The separate advertisements and applications 
shall, in the aggregate, include
all the properties which 
otherwise would have been included in the single
annual 
advertisement and application for judgment and sale under this 
Section.
Upon the written request of the taxing district which 
levied the same, the
County Collector shall also include in the 
advertisement the special taxes and
special assessments, 
together with interest, penalties and costs thereon upon
those 
properties which are delinquent as of the date of the 
advertisement. The
advertisement and application for judgment 
and sale shall be in the manner
prescribed by this Code 
relating to the annual advertisement and application
for 
judgment and sale of delinquent properties.
