Clarifies jurisdiction for administrative adjudication of ordinance violations in Illinois municipalities and counties.
This bill responds to the Illinois Supreme Court's opinion in Cammacho v. City of Joliet, clarifying the jurisdiction of home rule municipalities and counties in administrative adjudications. It specifies that a home rule municipality may lose jurisdiction over administrative hearings and fines if it lacks a system for adjudicating ordinance violations, engages in county activities, and the violation occurs within the county. Similarly, a home rule county may lose jurisdiction if it regulates adjudication inconsistently with state law.
