REALTORS® need to continue to respond to the Call for Action on Rent Control in anticipation of a House Judiciary Civil Law Committee hearing, according to the Feb. 22 State Capitol Report.

The committee hearing is scheduled for on Feb. 27 regarding two pieces of Rent Control legislation, House Bill 255 and House Bill 2192, and Illinois REALTORS® need to make sure their voices are heard by members of the Illinois General Assembly.

Illinois REALTORS® lobbyists continue to monitor the issue at the State Capitol along with many others. Today’s State Capitol Report provides information on legislation regarding: the Section 8 Voucher Program, a ban on the creation of new governmental units, Homestead Exemptions and natural disaster tax credits.
