    AN ACT concerning revenue.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended  by changing 
Section 21-150 as follows:
 



    (35 ILCS 200/21-150)



    Sec. 21-150. Time of applying for judgment. Except as 
otherwise provided in
this Section or by ordinance or 
resolution enacted under subsection (c) of
Section 21-40, all 
applications for judgment and order of sale for taxes and

special assessments on delinquent properties shall be made 
within 90 days after the second installment due date during the 
month of
October.  In those counties which have adopted an 
ordinance under Section
21-40, the application for judgment and 
order of sale for delinquent taxes
shall be made in December.  
In the 10 years next following the completion of
a general 
reassessment of property in any county with 3,000,000 or more

inhabitants, made under an order of the Department, 
applications for judgment
and order of sale shall be made as 
soon as may be and on the day specified in
the advertisement 
required by Section 21-110 and 21-115. If for any cause the

court is not held on the day specified, the cause shall stand 
continued, and it
shall be unnecessary to re-advertise the list 
or notice.

    Within 30 days after the day specified for the application 
for judgment the
court shall hear and determine the matter.  If 
judgment is rendered, the sale
shall begin on the date within 5 
business days specified in the notice as
provided in Section 
21-115.  If the collector is prevented from advertising and

obtaining judgment within 90 days after the second installment 
due date during the month of October, the collector may obtain

judgment at any time thereafter; but if the failure arises by 
the county
collector's not complying with any of the 
requirements of this Code, he or she
shall be held on his or 
her official bond for the full amount of all taxes and
special 
assessments charged against him or her.  Any failure on the part 
of the
county collector shall not be allowed as a valid 
objection to the collection of
any tax or assessment, or to 
entry of a judgment against any delinquent
properties included 
in the application of the county collector.
