(30 ILCS 562/1.5)
Sec. 1.5.
Leasing to tax delinquents prohibited.
A State agency shall
not lease any real property to a person who is delinquent in paying any real
property taxes on a leasehold estate under Section 9-195 of the Property Tax
Code. If a State agency receives notice that a lessee of property under the
agency's control is delinquent
in paying property taxes, the agency shall notify the lessee that the lessee
has 60 days to pay the delinquent taxes, plus penalties and interest, if any,
or the lease shall be terminated. If the lessee fails to submit proof to the
agency that the lessee has paid the taxes, penalties, and interest, the agency
shall terminate the lease. A person whose lease was terminated under this
Section is not allowed to lease State-owned real property or bid on a lease for
State-owned real property for a period of 2 years after the termination of the
lease.
Within 60 days
after entering into an agreement to lease State-owned real property, the State
agency leasing the State-owned real property shall notify the county clerk of
the county in which the real property is located of the name and mailing
address of the lessee.
