Summary
The bill updates Illinois forfeiture law so owners or interest holders can be served notice by email, as allowed by Supreme Court Rule 102, or by one certified‑mail if the property must be registered at a specific address. It also sets a 28‑day timeline for the first notice and outlines backup steps if the initial notice is not confirmed. The changes aim to speed up notice and reduce paperwork for both the State’s Attorney and the affected parties.
