House Bill No. 5155, Public Act No. 24-88, is an act concerning technical revisions to housing statutes. The bill includes changes to the composition of the roundtable group in Section 1, where the term "cochairs" is replaced with "cochairpersons" to reflect a more inclusive language. Additionally, the bill addresses the Department of Veterans Affairs' responsibilities in Section 2, where it mandates the conversion, rehabilitation, and renovation of properties to house homeless or "housing-insecure" veterans, a term which has been updated from "housing insecure" to "housing-insecure" for clarity.
Further technical amendments are made in Sections 3 and 4, which deal with the Judicial Department's handling of case records and the imposition of liens for unpaid penalties by enforcing agencies, respectively. In Section 3, the bill specifies the conditions under which case records and information should be restored or retained on the Judicial Department's Internet website, and it prohibits the commercial use of such information once it has been removed from the website. Section 4 amends the language to clarify the timeframe within which a notice of violation must be recorded to establish a lien, changing "no" to "not" to correct the legal text. The act was approved on May 30, 2024, and is effective from passage.
