Bill Summary

Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that nothing in the Eviction Article may be construed to: (i) prohibit law enforcement officials from enforcing the offense of criminal trespass under the Criminal Code of 1963 or any other violation of the Code; or (ii) to interfere with the ability of law enforcement officials to remove persons or property from the premises when there is a criminal trespass.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure to clarify that eviction proceedings do not limit law enforcement's ability to address criminal trespass. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection (e) to Section 9-102 which explicitly states that nothing in the Eviction Article should be interpreted as preventing law enforcement from enforcing criminal trespass laws or removing individuals and property from premises when a criminal trespass has occurred. The bill references Section 21-3 of the Criminal Code of 1963, which defines criminal trespass as unauthorized entry or remaining on someone else's property. By adding this provision, the bill aims to ensure that civil eviction procedures do not interfere with or impede law enforcement's ability to address criminal trespassing situations, maintaining a clear separation between civil eviction processes and criminal law enforcement actions.
