REAL PROP DISCLSOURE-ROOF AGE

HB 2559 amends Illinois' Real Property Disclosure Act to require sellers to disclose the age of a roof in the standard Residential Real Property Disclosure Report. This directly affects residential property sellers during home sales transactions, as they must now provide the roof's age alongside other property condition disclosures. The bill adds a specific field (item 25) to the existing disclosure form, replacing the general "roof defects" question with a precise requirement for roof age. This change ensures buyers receive clearer, more specific information about a key structural component before purchasing. The policy change is purely procedural, updating disclosure requirements without altering seller obligations or creating new legal standards.
