Summary

The measure amends the Illinois Counties, Township, and Municipal Codes to prevent those governments from adopting or enforcing laws that limit residential development, unless the law is a response to a Governor‑declared disaster (or a mayor‑declared emergency for cities) or is needed to extend or acquire public infrastructure, services, or water resources. It defines “anti‑growth law,” limits certain home‑rule powers, and takes effect immediately.
