HB5542

PARKS-ASSESSMENT WAIVER

Final Passage·5/21/26

Illinois HB5542 allows park districts to waive unpaid assessments before disconnecting territory.

HB5542 amends the Park District Code to allow the governing board of a park district to waive unpaid assessments before disconnecting territory. This waiver can be adopted by ordinance, and if done, the county clerk must certify the disconnection petition without requiring payment of waived assessments. The territory must be on the border of the park district and its disconnection must not separate any part of the district from another.
