RENT CONTROL PREEMPTION ACT

SB 1260 (Rent Control Preemption Act) repeals the existing Rent Control Preemption Act in Illinois. This bill removes a state law that prevented local governments from enacting their own rent control policies. By repealing this preemption, the bill directly affects cities and counties, enabling them to implement local rent control measures for landlords and tenants within their jurisdictions. The legislation itself does not create new rent control rules but eliminates a barrier to local policy-making.
