Squatter bill ready for governor
The Illinois House of Representatives on Wednesday unanimously passed what is being called the Squatter bill. The measure would make it easier for police to remove squatters from someone’s home and avoid the months-long eviction process.
Previously, squatters were allowed to stay at the property during the court process to get them out of the premises. The bill can now go to the governor for his signature.
