Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 267

Amends the Condominium Property Act. Provides legislative findings concerning the importance of municipalities reclaiming housing stock that was used in fraudulent schemes. Provides procedures for addressing distressed condominium property that is a danger, blight, or nuisance to the surrounding community or the public and that is substantially unoccupied, without utilities, or in a serious negative condition. Provides definitions of "distressed condominium property", "owner", and "other party in interest". Provides that a municipality may file a petition in the circuit court and that if the court finds that a property is a distressed condominium property, the court may appoint a receiver to manage the property. Provides also that if a court finds that the property is not viable as a condominium, the court may deem that the entire property is owned in common by the unit owners and may authorize the receiver to sell the entire property without the consent of the unit owners. Provides that if the receiver sells the property pursuant to court authorization, the sale proceeds shall be paid to unit owners according to their respective shares, after sale expenses, taxes, and liens have been paid. Provides that the receiver has the power and authority to secure and insure the premises, make repairs, and otherwise manage the premises. Provides that other parties in interest shall be provided written notice and a copy of the petition or complaint either by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, within 30 days of the issuance of the summons or by personal service of the complaint. Provides that the court may authorize a receiver to enter into a sales contract for the property upon a motion, with notice to all owners and other parties in interest and those parties having an opportunity to be heard. Makes other changes.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Aeronautics Act. Provides an exception to the provision that states that any power granted under the Act to acquire property by condemnation or eminent domain is subject to the Eminent Domain Act; the exception is: that with respect to any condemnation or eminent domain action filed by the Department of Transportation on or after August 27, 2009 to acquire property for the South Suburban Airport and for which the court enters a final judgment prior to the date on which the Federal Aviation Administration renders its final decision on the Airport's airport layout plan, just compensation amounts due the condemnee shall be held in escrow and the Department shall not record the judgment. Further provides that, at the condemnee's election or in the event the F.A.A. approves the Airport's airport layout plan, just compensation amounts shall be released from escrow and delivered to the condemnee and the Department may record the judgment. Further provides that in the event the F.A.A. does not approve the Airport's airport layout plan, just compensation amounts shall be released from escrow and returned to the Department and the Department shall, in no event, record the judgment. Provides that South Suburban Airport means the airport to be developed on a site located in Will County and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration in July 2002. Amends the Public Contract Fraud Act. Provides that except as provided in the Superconducting Super Collider Act or for projects constructed under the Bikeway Act or for the development of the South Suburban Airport (instead of under the Superconducting Super Collider Act or Bikeway Act), any person entrusted with the construction or repair of any public work who expends or causes to be expended upon the public work appropriated moneys therefor, without first having obtained a title, by purchase, donation, condemnation or otherwise, running to the State of Illinois for all lands needed for the public work, as approved by the Attorney General, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Defines South Suburban Airport. Effective immediately.
