House Passes Open Occupancy Bill Amid Senate Negotiations
The Illinois House approved an open occupancy bill 94 to 32, with penalties up to six months in jail or a 100 dollar fine for denying housing based on race or origin. Senator Arrington seeks a compromise measure, aiming to win Republican support in the Senate. The bill exempts owner occupied buildings of 10 units or more.
