Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Zoning Division of the Illinois Municipal Code. Removes a provision giving the corporate authorities in each municipality the power to classify, to regulate, and to restrict the use of property on the basis of family relationship. Provides that the powers enumerated in provisions relating to zoning powers of a municipality may not be used in any way that violates or otherwise contradicts any other applicable State or federal law, including the federal Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Prohibits a municipality from adopting zoning regulations that prohibit 2 or more individuals who are not related by blood from living together in the same residence. Provides that a municipality may not adopt zoning regulations that prohibit the creation of a community-integrated living arrangement or housing for a community-integrated living arrangement. Limits home rule powers.
House Floor Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with these changes. Restores provisions allowing the corporate authorities in a municipality to classify, regulate, and restrict the use of property on the basis of family relationship, which family relationship may be defined as one or more persons each related to the other by blood, marriage or adoption and maintaining a common household; except that a municipality may not adopt zoning regulations that prohibit 2 or more individuals, who are not related by blood, from living together in a community-integrated living arrangement or housing for a community-integrated living arrangement.
