(The Center Square) – A lawmaker blaming climate change for the flooding in the state created legislation that will mandate landlords inform prospective tenants if their property is in a high-risk flood zone.
Senate Bill 2601 is on the governor’s desk awaiting further action. State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid, D-Bridgeview, the bill’s sponsor, said a flood can be financially devastating and that this legislation will protect working families.
“Illinois will be joining numerous other states and offering this important information and protection for renters,” said Rashid.
State Rep. Travis Weaver, R-Edwards, said every year legislators pass legislation that regulates small business and landlords thereby increasing housing costs.
