Land Conveyance Appraisal Note (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in SB 2052; therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed. State Debt Impact Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability) SB 2052, as engrossed, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

Judicial Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts) This legislation would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State of Illinois. Housing Affordability Impact Note (Housing Development Authority) This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence. Fiscal Note (Housing Development Authority) Since the Illinois Housing Development Authority does not have sufficient data to determine the exact amount of costs that a municipality can place on a vacant property lien, the increased cost to a potential homebuyer cannot be reasonably calculated. Regardless of this concern, this bill as proposed would have no immediate or long-range impacts to the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
