IL HB4484

Creates the "End Aldermanic Privilege Law" applicable only to the City of Chicago, prohibiting denial of zoning approvals based on aldermanic holds, objections, or extra-legal requests once a property owner has initiated development (concept meeting, permit application, development plan presentation, substantial resource investment, or notice of intent to develop).

Allows property owners, developers, or contractors to sue the State or City of Chicago for injunctive or declaratory relief if more restrictive laws, regulations, ordinances, or resolutions are enforced after development initiation, with civil penalties of not less than $5,000 plus actual carrying costs and attorney's fees if the claim succeeds.

Requires telecommunications carriers to provide written notice 30 days before issuing permits for new facilities within 1.5 miles of a municipality, including site plans and property information to be delivered to owners within 250 feet of the project.

Limits home rule powers of Chicago regarding zoning approvals and retroactive application of regulations to properties where development has commenced.
