Bill > SB1713

This bill amends the Common Interest Community Association Act and the Condominium Property Act to protect the parking rights of authorized emergency vehicles in community associations. Specifically, the bill defines an "authorized emergency vehicle" using the definition from the Illinois Vehicle Code and prohibits community associations from classifying such vehicles as commercial vehicles. The bill also invalidates any existing association rules or restrictions that would prevent residents, unit owners, tenants, guests, or invitees from parking authorized emergency vehicles on the property. This means that if a firefighter, paramedic, or other emergency service professional who lives in a condominium or common interest community owns an emergency vehicle, they cannot be prevented from parking that vehicle in their assigned parking space or on the community's streets, even if the community typically has strict parking regulations. The legislation aims to provide flexibility and support for emergency service workers by ensuring they can park their work-related vehicles without facing restrictions from their housing association.
