Summary
Amends the Counties Code and the Illinois Municipal Code. Requires the charitable organization seeking an exemption from the prohibition on charitable solicitation to also provide the county or municipality, as applicable, with a list of 3 alternate solicitation locations. Provides that if the county or municipality determines that the applicant's location cannot be permitted due to significant safety concerns, such as high traffic volumes, poor geometrics, construction, maintenance operations, or past accident history, then the county or municipality may deny the application for that location and must approve one of the 3 alternate locations following the order of preference submitted by the applicant on the alternate location list. Also makes technical changes. Effective immediately.
