IL SB2264

Counties and municipalities are prohibited from adopting "crime-free housing" or nuisance ordinances that penalize residents, landlords, or property owners for requesting law enforcement or emergency assistance, including for domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or disability-related incidents

Local governments cannot require landlords to evict tenants based on criminal activity the tenant did not commit, arrest records, or the tenant's association with someone who has been arrested or convicted

Counties and municipalities with crime-free housing ordinances must create an Office of the Crime Free Housing Coordinator, staffed by someone with at least 3 years of social work or community advocacy experience who receives fair housing training

Tenants facing eviction under crime-free housing ordinances must receive 30-day written notice and an opportunity to be heard before a neutral party, with the right to legal counsel, present testimony, and receive written discovery

Aggrieved parties may sue counties, municipalities, or housing authorities in circuit court for injunctive relief, monetary damages, attorney's fees, and costs to enforce these protections
