AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 118
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 118 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing
Section 5-1099 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/5-1099) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1099)
Sec. 5-1099. Regulation of property within residential
subdivision Weed cutting on residential subdivision lots. In
counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a county board may
regulate vacant property within a residential subdivision
outside the corporate limits of any municipality. A a county
board also may provide for the cutting of weeds on any lot lots
in subdivisions in residential areas in the unincorporated area
of the county or any part thereof, when the owners of the
subdivision lot refuse or neglect to cut them, and may collect
from the owners the reasonable cost thereof. Notice of

09900SB0118sam001 - 2 - LRB099 05767 AWJ 32097 a
intention to cut weeds shall be given to the owners of
subdivision lot involved at least 15 days before such action is
intended to be taken, by mailing a written copy of such notice
to the last known address of each such owner or owners. This
cost is a lien upon the subdivision lot affected, superior to
all other liens and encumbrances, except tax liens; provided
that within 60 days after such cost and expense is incurred the
county, or person performing the service by authority of the
county in his or its own name, files notice of lien in the
office of the recorder in the county in which such subdivision
lot is located or in the office of the Registrar of Titles of
the county if the subdivision lot affected is registered under
the Torrens system. The notice shall consist of a sworn
statement setting out (1) a description of the subdivision lot
sufficient for identification thereof, (2) the amount of money
representing the cost and expense incurred or payable for the
service, and (3) the date or dates when such cost and expense
was incurred by the county. However, the lien of such county
shall not be valid as to any purchaser whose rights in and to
such subdivision lot have arisen subsequent to the weed-cutting
and prior to the filing of such notice, and the lien of the
county shall not be valid as to any mortgagee, judgment
creditor or other lienor whose rights in and to such
subdivision lot arise prior to the filing of such notice. Upon
payment of the cost and expense by the owner of or persons
interested in such property after notice of lien has been

09900SB0118sam001 - 3 - LRB099 05767 AWJ 32097 a
filed, the lien shall be released by the county or person in
whose name this lien has been filed and the release may be
filed of record as in the case of filing notice of lien.
