IL HB2927

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code zoning provisions to prohibit denying approvals based on laws or ordinances enacted after a property owner or developer demonstrates intent to develop through concept meetings, permit applications, development plan presentations, substantial resource investment over one year, or other sufficient notice to regulatory authorities.

Allows property owners, developers, or contractors to sue for injunctive or declaratory relief if the State or local government enforces more restrictive regulations after the triggering event, with civil penalties of at least $5,000 plus additional carrying costs and attorney's fees if the claim succeeds.

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

Limits home rule municipal powers by establishing this restriction as a limitation on concurrent home rule authority under the Illinois Constitution.
