5		-	Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
6		-	represented in the General Assembly:
7		-	Section 5. The Illinois Housing Development Act is amended
8		-	by adding Section 35 as follows:
9		-	(20 ILCS 3805/35 new)
10		-	Sec. 35. Property Tax Payment Plan Task Force.
11		-	(a) In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the
12		-	annual tax sale has a disproportionately negative impact on
13		-	minority communities. The loss of owner-occupied homes
14		-	following the annual tax sale results in a loss of home equity
15		-	for impacted households and negatively impacts the ability of
16		-	those households to build generational wealth. The creation of
17		-	a well-designed payment plan program that allows
18		-	owner-occupants to repay delinquent property taxes has the
19		-	potential to help homeowners who are unable to afford their
20		-	property taxes avoid the tax sale and the potential loss of
21		-	their home while also ensuring that property taxes are
22		-	collected for the benefit of local taxing districts. Such a
23		-	payment plan program will result in a more equitable and
24		-	effective property tax system.
25		-	(b) The Property Tax Payment Plan Task Force is hereby
26		-	created. The Task Force shall consist of the following
