House Bill No. 6833, also known as Public Act No. 25-133, implements several technical revisions to statutes concerning planning and development. Key changes include the repeal and replacement of subsection (a) of section 4-124s, which redefines "legislative body" to include "board of aldermen" instead of "board of alderman." The bill also modifies section 7-339hh to clarify the allowable expenses covered by a district master plan fund, emphasizing improvements both within and outside tax increment districts. Additionally, it amends section 7-393 to specify that certified copies of audit reports must be filed with relevant authorities within six months of the fiscal year-end, with penalties for non-compliance and provisions for waivers under reasonable circumstances.

Moreover, the bill revises the designation and funding processes for municipalities in financial distress, allowing the Municipal Accountability Review Board to elevate a municipality's tier designation based on its fiscal condition. It modifies eligibility criteria for the Municipal Restructuring Fund, requiring designated municipalities to submit detailed restructuring plans for approval. The bill also amends state grant eligibility for renters, particularly for elderly and disabled individuals, by defining a married couple as one tenant and allowing certain forms of financial aid without disqualification from the grant. New provisions enable renters receiving cash assistance to qualify for the grant, provided the assistance is deducted from the grant amount, thereby enhancing support for elderly renters and improving access to financial assistance for housing costs.
