Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill adds a new section to the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure that lets a hotel operator remove a guest who fails to pay and remains on the property without consent. It shields operators from civil or criminal liability when they follow the required notice and documentation steps, but it does not affect tenants under a bona‑fide lease or guests placed in government‑funded emergency housing. Law‑enforcement may be called to remove the non‑paying guest as a trespasser, but officers are not required to intervene in legitimate lease disputes.
