Public Act 103-0916
 
SB2740 EnrolledLRB103 35883 LNS 65968 b

    AN ACT concerning civil law.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Condominium Property Act is amended by
adding Section 18.12 as follows:
 
    (765 ILCS 605/18.12 new)
    Sec. 18.12. Accessible parking.
    (a) The board of managers shall adopt a policy to
reasonably accommodate a unit owner who is a person with a
disability who requires accessible parking. Such a policy
shall include, without limitation, the procedure for
submitting a request for an accessible parking space and the
time in which the board shall review the request. The time for
review shall not be more than 45 days from the date the request
is submitted. The board must review and make a decision on the
request within a reasonable period of time. A copy of such
policy shall be given to any unit owner upon request. The board
of managers shall adopt such policy no later than 90 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
Assembly for condominiums existing on said effective date or
90 days after the date of the election of the initial board of
managers pursuant to Section 18.2 of this Act.
    (b) The board of managers shall make reasonable efforts to
facilitate a resolution between unit owners to provide for
accessible parking when the association does not own or
otherwise control parking that meets the accessible parking
needs of a unit owner who is a person with a disability who
requires accessible parking.
    (c) For all new construction condominiums and conversion
condominiums submitted to the provisions of this Act after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
Assembly, all accessible parking spaces constructed or created
in accordance with applicable federal, State, and local
building and accessibility statutes, codes, and ordinances
must remain part of the common elements. No developer or
declarant shall construct, create, or otherwise make parking
units (a unit as defined in Section 2 of this Act that is a
parking space) or limited common elements of such accessible
parking spaces. The board of managers has the authority to
establish rules and regulations for the use of such common
element accessible parking spaces, including, but not limited
to, renting or licensing such common element accessible
parking spaces to non-disabled unit owners, provided that the
rules and regulations must provide that a unit owner who is a
person with a disability who requires accessible parking has
priority over non-disabled unit owners, and that non-disabled
unit owners must immediately stop using such common element
accessible parking space when a request by a unit owner who is
a person with a disability for accessible parking is approved
by the board.
    Nothing in this subsection (c) shall preclude a disabled
person from purchasing a parking unit or a residential unit to
which a limited common element parking space is assigned, and
no developer or declarant shall refuse to sell a parking unit
to a disabled person or assign a limited common element
parking space to a residential unit purchased by a disabled
person. If a disabled person purchases a parking unit or a
residential unit to which a limited common element parking
space is assigned, that unit owner who is a person with a
disability who requires accessible parking may request use of
a common element accessible parking space in exchange for
permitting the association use of that disabled unit owner's
parking unit or limited common element parking space.
    (d) Subsections (a) and (b) apply to all condominiums that
have parking, regardless of whether the parking comprises
parking units, limited common elements, common elements, or
parking rights.
    (e) An aggrieved unit owner, an aggrieved prospective unit
owner, or the board of managers may commence a civil action in
State court against a developer or declarant who fails to
comply with its requirements under subsection (c). If the
court finds that the developer or declarant failed to comply
with these requirements, it may award declaratory relief,
actual damages, punitive damages and, if appropriate,
equitable relief.
    The condominium association shall not be held liable for
the failure of the developer or declarant to comply with its
requirements under subsection (c).
