SB 2287 Illinois Senate · 95th Regular Session

SAFE HOMES-INFO DISCLOSE PNLTY

Summary
Amends the Safe Homes Act. Provides that a landlord may not disclose to others that a tenant or a member of the tenant's household exercised rights under the Act or any information provided by them to the landlord under the Act, except in civil proceedings or when the tenant or a member of the tenant's household who is the victim waives this restriction. Provides that furnishing evidence to support a claim of domestic or sexual violence against a tenant or a household member shall not waive any confidentiality or privilege that may exist between the victim and a third party. Provides that certain remedies available to a landlord or tenant are the sole and exclusive remedies for violations of the lock-change provisions of the Act (instead of providing that those remedies provided to a landlord or tenant are "sole and exclusive" without regard to the type of violation). Provides that a landlord who violates these provisions by disclosing confidential information is liable for damages resulting from the disclosure or $2,000, whichever is greater, along with attorney's fees and costs. Effective immediately.
