Summary
The bill forces non‑exempt cities and counties to notify residents and hold a public hearing before adopting an affordable‑housing plan, and to prove they complied when they send the plan to the Illinois Housing Development Authority. It also expands the plan’s required content to list specific parcels, detailed timelines, and incentives, and widens who may appeal a denial to include certain service providers. The changes aim to increase transparency and encourage more affordable‑housing development.
