housing agencies.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 2. The Housing Authorities Act is amended by
adding Section 8.23 as follows:
(310 ILCS 10/8.23 new)
Sec. 8.23. Notification to leaseholders of the

subsection (c) of Section 3-14-1 of the Unified Code of
Corrections, that a felon intends to reside, upon release
from custody, at an address that is a housing facility owned,
managed, operated, or leased by the Authority, the Authority
must provide written notification to the leaseholder residing
at that address.
(b) The Authority may not evict the leaseholder
described in subsection (a) of this Section unless the
Authority proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the
leaseholder had knowledge of and consents to the felon's
intent to reside at the leaseholder's address.
Section 5. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
changing Section 3-14-1 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/3-14-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-14-1)
Sec. 3-14-1. Release from the Institution.
(a) Upon release of a person on parole, mandatory
release, final discharge or pardon the Department shall
return all property held for him, provide him with suitable
clothing and procure necessary transportation for him to his
designated place of residence and employment. It may provide
such person with a grant of money for travel and expenses
which may be paid in installments. The amount of the money
grant shall be determined by the Department.
The Department of Corrections may establish and maintain,
in any institution it administers, revolving funds to be
known as "Travel and Allowances Revolving Funds". These

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Code, the
Department shall establish procedures to provide written
notification of any release of any person who has been
convicted of a felony to the State's Attorney and sheriff of
the county from which the offender was committed, and the
State's Attorney and sheriff of the county into which the
offender is to be paroled or released. Except as otherwise
provided in this Code, the Department shall establish
procedures to provide written notification to the proper law
enforcement agency for any municipality of any release of any
person who has been convicted of a felony if the arrest of
the offender or the commission of the offense took place in
the municipality, if the offender is to be paroled or
released into the municipality, or if the offender resided in
the municipality at the time of the commission of the
offense. If a person convicted of a felony who is in the
custody of the Department of Corrections or on parole or
mandatory supervised release informs the Department that he
or she has resided, resides, or will reside at an address
that is a housing facility owned, managed, operated, or
leased by a public housing agency, the Department must send
written notification of that information to the public
housing agency that owns, manages, operates, or leases the
housing facility. The written notification shall, when
possible, be given at least 14 days before release of the
person from custody, or as soon thereafter as possible.
(c-1) (Blank).
(d) Upon the release of a committed person on parole,
mandatory supervised release, final discharge or pardon, the
Department shall provide such person with information
concerning programs and services of the Illinois Department
of Public Health to ascertain whether such person has been
exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any
identified causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS).
