Referred to Rules Committee
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.
