Sec. 5.
Applicability.
(a) Every bill, except those making a direct appropriation, the purpose or
effect of which is to directly increase or decrease the cost of constructing,
purchasing, owning or selling a single family residence shall have prepared for
it, before second reading in the house of introduction, a brief explanatory
statement or note that shall include a reliable estimate of the anticipated
impact.
(b) Every proposed rule of an agency, the purpose or effect of which is to
directly increase or decrease the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or
selling a single family residence shall have prepared for it, before approval
by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules pursuant to the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act, a brief explanatory statement or note that shall
include a reliable estimate of the anticipated impact. As used in this Act,
"rule" and "agency" have the same meanings as in the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act.
(c) These statements or notes shall be known as housing affordability
impact notes.

(Source: P.A. 87-1149; 88-61.)

(25 ILCS 82/10)
Sec. 10. Preparation. The sponsor of each bill, or the agency proposing a
rule, to which Section 5 applies, shall present a copy of the bill or proposed
rule, with the request for a housing affordability impact note, to the Illinois
Housing Development Authority. The housing affordability impact note shall be
prepared by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and submitted to the
sponsor of the bill or the agency within 5 calendar days, except that whenever,
because of the complexity of the measure, additional time is required for the
preparation of the housing affordability impact note, the Illinois Housing
Development Authority may inform the sponsor of the bill or the agency, and the
sponsor or agency may approve an extension of the time within which the note is
to be submitted, not to extend, however, beyond June 15, following the date of
the request. The Illinois Housing Development Authority may
seek assistance from a Statewide trade organization representing the real
estate or home building industry in the preparation of a housing
affordability impact note. If, in the opinion of the Illinois Housing
Development Authority, there is insufficient information to prepare a
reliable estimate of the anticipated impact, a statement to that effect can
be filed and shall meet the requirements of this Act.

(25 ILCS 82/15)
Sec. 15.

Vote on necessity of housing affordability impact
notes. Whenever the sponsor of any bill is of the opinion that
no housing affordability impact note is required, any member
of either house may request that a note be obtained, and in
that case the applicability of this Act shall be decided by
the majority of those present and voting in the house of which
the sponsor is a member.

(25 ILCS 82/20)
Sec. 20.
Requisites and contents.
The note shall be factual in
nature, as brief and concise as may be, and shall provide a reliable
estimate in dollars, and, in addition, it shall include both the immediate
effect and, if determinable or reasonably foreseeable, the long range
effect of the measure. A housing affordability impact note shall be
prepared on the basis of a single family residence and may include an
estimate for a larger development as an analysis of the long range effect
of a measure. If, after careful investigation, it is determined that no
dollar estimate is possible, the note shall contain a statement to that
effect, setting forth the reasons why no dollar estimate can be given. A
brief summary or work sheet of computations used in arriving at housing
affordability impact note figures shall be included.

(Source: P.A. 87-1149.)

(25 ILCS 82/25)
Sec. 25.
Comment or opinion; technical or mechanical defects.
No comment or opinion shall be included in the housing
affordability impact note with regard to the merits of the measure for
which the housing affordability impact note is prepared; however, technical
or mechanical defects may be noted.

(Source: P.A. 87-1149.)

(25 ILCS 82/30)
Sec. 30.

Appearance of State officials and employees in support or
opposition of measure. The fact that a housing affordability impact note
is prepared for any bill or proposed rule shall not preclude or restrict
the appearance before any committee of the General Assembly, or before the
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, of any official or authorized employee
of the Illinois Housing Development Authority who desires to be heard in
support of or in opposition to the measure.

(Source: P.A. 87-1149; 88-61.)

(25 ILCS 82/35)
Sec. 35.

Amendment of bill necessitating statement of fiscal effect of
proposed amendment. Whenever any committee of either house reports any
bill with an amendment that will substantially affect the figures stated in
the housing affordability impact note attached to the measure at the time
of its referral to the committee, there shall be included with the report
of the committee a statement of the effect of the change proposed by the
amendment reported if desired by a majority of the committee. Whenever any
bill is amended on the floor of either house to substantially affect the
figures as stated in the housing affordability impact note attached to the
bill before the amendment, a majority of the members of that house may propose
that no action shall be taken on the amendment until the sponsor of the
amendment presents to the members a statement of the housing affordability
impact of the proposed amendment.
