Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Section 21-16 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/21-16)
Sec. 21-16. Property owned by a taxing district;
delinquency. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in a
county with more than 800,000 inhabitants but fewer than
1,000,000 inhabitants, if a lessee is liable for the payment
of property taxes extended against property that is owned by a
taxing district, and those taxes remain unpaid in whole or in
part 60 days after the final second installment due date, then
the county treasurer shall promptly notify the taxing district
that owns the property of the delinquency in writing. The
taxing district shall promptly notify the county supervisor of
assessments upon the execution of a new lease or the
termination of a lease for property owned by the taxing
district. The State's Attorney of the county in which the
property is located may bring an action against the lessee in
the circuit court in the name of the People of the State of
Illinois, and, upon proof of liability, the court shall enter
judgment against the lessee in a sum equal to the full amount
