IAR members can be proud of a major legislative achievement: true reform of Illinois' eminent domain laws to protect private property owners.
An IAR-led coalition helped shape the bill and move it through the Illinois General Assembly. Governor Blagojevich signed the Eminent Domain Act into law on July 28 citing IAR as a key proponent of the bill.
Said IAR President Stan Sieron: "This new law strengthens existing Illinois protections for private property owners while still allowing the government to redevelop truly blighted property. It also ensures that property owners are fairly and fully compensated for their land and relocation expenses."
