represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Section 22-35 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 200/22-35)
    Sec.   22-35.  Reimbursement   of   municipality   before
issuance of tax deed.  Except in any proceeding in which  the
tax  purchaser  is  a  county  acting as a trustee for taxing
districts as provided in Section  21-90,  an  order  for  the
issuance  of  a tax deed under this Code shall not be entered
affecting the title to or interest in any property in which a
city, village or incorporated town has an interest under  the
police  and  welfare  power  by advancements made from public
funds, until the purchaser or assignee makes reimbursement to
the city, village  or  incorporated  town  of  the  money  so
advanced or the city, village, or town waives its lien on the
property  for  the  money  so  advanced.  However, in lieu of
reimbursement or waiver, the purchaser or his or her assignee
may make application for and the court shall order  that  the
tax  purchase  be  set aside as a sale in error.  A filing or
appearance fee shall not be required of a  city,  village  or
incorporated  town  seeking  to  enforce its claim under this
Section in a tax deed proceeding.
