Bill > SB2223

This bill amends the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act by adding a new provision that changes the process for suspending or revoking business licenses. Specifically, the bill requires that any suspension or revocation of a business license must now be approved by a majority vote of the county board (for businesses in unincorporated areas) or the municipal board (for businesses in incorporated areas) where the business is located. This means that local government bodies will now have direct oversight and decision-making power regarding business license suspensions or revocations under the Act, which previously may have been determined solely by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. The bill appears to be designed to give local communities more control over business licensing decisions that could impact their local economic environment.
