| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Article 5. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Section 5-1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Home | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Buyer Savings Accounts Act.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Section 5-5. Legislative findings. The General Assembly | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | finds and recognizes that the American Dream has always been | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | closely associated with owning your own home. However, for | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | many reasons, it is becoming more and more difficult to | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | achieve the goal of homeownership in Illinois and throughout | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | the country. The General Assembly finds and recognizes that | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | homeownership provides more than a dream to an individual | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | person or family, but that an increase in homeownership rates | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | in Illinois has a direct impact on the quality of our | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | communities and schools, economic and education opportunities, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | and safe streets. The General Assembly is intent on finding | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | methods to make it easier for those in Illinois to achieve | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | their goal of homeownership for the first time. It is the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | General Assembly's intent with this Act to provide a | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | tax-incentivized savings account for qualified first-time and | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | certain second-chance home buyers, which in turn can be used |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | toward a down payment or certain eligible closing costs for | ||||||
2 | the purchase of a home in Illinois.

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | single-family residence outside of this State.
| ||||||
2 | Section 5-40. Penalty for withdrawal for purpose other | ||||||
3 | than eligible costs. Except as otherwise provided in this | ||||||
4 | Section, if the account holder withdraws any funds from a | ||||||
5 | first-time and second-chance home buyer savings account for a | ||||||

8 | (65 ILCS 5/11-13-28 new) | ||||||

15 | units in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section | ||||||
16 | is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article | ||||||

3 | (2) unincorporated lands adjacent to or adjoining | ||||||
4 | incorporated city boundaries. | ||||||

8 | discourage the development of all middle housing types | ||||||
9 | permitted in the area through unreasonable costs or delay. | ||||||
10 | Local governments may regulate middle housing to comply with | ||||||
11 | protective measures adopted pursuant to statewide land use | ||||||

1 | Section 15-5. The Reimagining Electric Vehicles in | ||||||
2 | Illinois Act is amended by adding Section 110 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (20 ILCS 686/110 new) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 110. Electric Vehicle Oriented (EVO) Housing Pilot | ||||||
5 | Program. | ||||||
6 | (a) The inventory of available homes for sale in Illinois | ||||||
7 | has been in continuous decline for multiple years. The lack of | ||||||
8 | inventory contributes directly to affordability, making it | ||||||
9 | more difficult to purchase a home, even for those individuals | ||||||
10 | who have incomes at or close to the median income of the area | ||||||
11 | in which they live. This problem is especially frustrating | ||||||
12 | where a potential REV Illinois Project faces the prospect of | ||||||
13 | little to no housing options for the employees of that | ||||||
14 | project. The General Assembly intends to authorize the | ||||||
15 | creation of a pilot grant program for electric vehicle | ||||||
16 | oriented (EVO) housing, with the goal of incentivizing the | ||||||
17 | construction of new homes near REV Illinois Projects. | ||||||
18 | (b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall | ||||||
19 | establish a pilot grant program to encourage the construction | ||||||
20 | and rehabilitation of housing located near a REV Illinois | ||||||
21 | Project. Funding may be used for the acquisition, | ||||||
22 | construction, development, predevelopment, or rehabilitation | ||||||
23 | of a qualified development as provided in subsection (d). | ||||||
24 | (c) "Qualified development" means a project that (i) is | ||||||
25 | geographically located within 10 miles of a REV Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Project, (ii) involves the new construction of 2 or more | ||||||
2 | single-family homes, including detached homes, attached | ||||||
3 | duplex, triplex or fourplex homes, and condominiums, and (iii) | ||||||
4 | results in the construction of homes that, according to the | ||||||
5 | federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, are | ||||||
6 | affordable for either home ownership or rental and that are | ||||||
7 | occupied, reserved, or marketed for occupancy by households | ||||||
8 | with a gross household income that is greater than 80% but less | ||||||
9 | than 120% of the area median household income. | ||||||
10 | (d) The EVO housing pilot grant program shall provide for | ||||||
11 | grants of up to 10% of the land acquisition costs and 15% of | ||||||
12 | the construction, development, predevelopment, or | ||||||
13 | rehabilitation costs of a qualified development. | ||||||
14 | (e) Project sponsors who wish to participate in the EVO | ||||||
15 | housing pilot grant program shall submit a grant application | ||||||
16 | to the Department in accordance with rules adopted by the | ||||||
17 | Department. | ||||||
18 | (f) No application for the EVO Housing Grant Pilot Program | ||||||
19 | shall be accepted by the Department after December 31, 2026.
| ||||||
20 | Article 20. | ||||||
21 | Section 20-5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by | ||||||
22 | changing Sections 5-907 and 5-918 and by adding Section | ||||||
23 | 5-918.1 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (605 ILCS 5/5-907) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-907)
| ||||||
2 | Sec. 5-907. Advisory Committee. A road improvement impact | ||||||
3 | fee advisory
committee shall be created by the unit of local | ||||||
4 | government intending to
impose impact fees. The Advisory | ||||||
5 | Committee shall consist of
not less than 10 members and not | ||||||
6 | more than 20 members. Not less than 40%
of the members of the | ||||||
7 | committee shall be representatives of the real
estate, | ||||||
8 | development, and building industries and the labor communities | ||||||
9 | and may
not
be employees or officials of the unit of local | ||||||
