To the Honorable Members of

The Illinois House of Representatives

99th General Assembly:

Today I veto House Bill 2644 from the 99th General Assembly, which would limit the rights of condominium owners.

Current law permits condominium owners, acting by approval of 75% of unit owners, to limit or restrict certain rights of their board with respect to disputes and legal actions. This bill would remove that right and automatically void any contrary provision in a condominium instrument. This bill is an unnecessary restriction on the rights of condominium owners with respect to their property.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 9(b) of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution of 1970, I hereby return House Bil 2644, “AN ACT concerning civil law”, with the foregoing objections, vetoed in its entirety.

Sincerely,

Bruce Rauner

GOVERNOR
