    AN ACT concerning revenue.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Section 21-150 as follows:
 
    (35 ILCS 200/21-150)
    Sec. 21-150. Time of applying for judgment. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section or by ordinance or
resolution enacted under subsection (c) of Section 21-40, in
any county with fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, all
applications for judgment and order of sale for taxes and
special assessments on delinquent properties shall be made
within 90 days after the second installment due date. In Cook
County, all applications for judgment and order of sale for
taxes and special assessments on delinquent properties shall be
made (i) by July 1, 2011 for tax year 2009, (ii) by July 1, 2012
for tax year 2010, (iii) by July 1, 2013 for tax year 2011,
(iv) by July 1, 2014 for tax year 2012, (v) by July 1, 2015 for
tax year 2013, (vi) by May 1, 2016 for tax year 2014, (vii) by
March 1, 2017 for tax year 2015, and (viii) (v) within 90 days
after the second installment due date for tax year 2016 2013
and each tax year thereafter. In those counties which have
adopted an ordinance under Section 21-40, the application for
judgment and order of sale for delinquent taxes shall be made
in December. In the 10 years next following the completion of a
general reassessment of property in any county with 3,000,000
or more inhabitants, made under an order of the Department,
applications for judgment and order of sale shall be made as
soon as may be and on the day specified in the advertisement
required by Section 21-110 and 21-115. If for any cause the
court is not held on the day specified, the cause shall stand
continued, and it shall be unnecessary to re-advertise the list
or notice.
    Within 30 days after the day specified for the application
for judgment the court shall hear and determine the matter. If
judgment is rendered, the sale shall begin on the date within 5
business days specified in the notice as provided in Section
21-115. If the collector is prevented from advertising and
obtaining judgment within the time periods specified by this
Section, the collector may obtain judgment at any time
thereafter; but if the failure arises by the county collector's
not complying with any of the requirements of this Code, he or
she shall be held on his or her official bond for the full
amount of all taxes and special assessments charged against him
or her. Any failure on the part of the county collector shall
not be allowed as a valid objection to the collection of any
tax or assessment, or to entry of a judgment against any
delinquent properties included in the application of the county
collector.
