IL SB0658

Clarifies that parcels in business districts, tax increment financing (TIF) redevelopment project areas, and industrial recovery areas are considered "contiguous" if they touch or join in a reasonably substantial physical sense, or if they meet annexation criteria under Section 7-1-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code

Declares these contiguity definitions as existing law and applies them retroactively to all pending legal actions, regardless of when the cause of action accrued

Exempts from the retroactive application any party subject to a final judgment from the September 23, 2021 Illinois Supreme Court decision in Board of Education of Richland School District 88A v. City of Crest Hill

Extends TIF completion dates to 35 years for 14 additional redevelopment project areas across Illinois, including districts in Chicago (Roosevelt/Cicero, Western/Ogden, 24th/Michigan Avenue, Woodlawn, Clark/Montrose), Madison, Aviston, Warren, Farmer City, Fairmont City, and Springfield

Extends TIF completion dates to 47 years for the redevelopment project area established on April 3, 1989 by the City of Chicago Heights
