Forcible Entry and Detainer Article
(Zalewski, D-Chicago; Harmon, D-Oak Park) makes a change to Cook County eviction actions at the request of Sheriff Tom Dart. It requires that the complaint contain the following information (to the extent the plaintiff knows): (1) The name of each known occupant for the premises, along with each known occupant's date of birth. (2) If the actual date of birth is unknown, whether a known occupant is known to be under the age of 18 or more than 65 years old. (3) Whether a known occupant has a disability but only to the extent that he occupant has self-reported the disability to the plaintiff. But the failure to provide this information does not affect the validity or the legal effect of any complaint or of any order or judgment entered in the action. Exempts public-housing programs. It is on third reading in the Senate.
