The Orland Park Village Board approved an ordinance amending the village code to expand the authority of administrative hearing officers, Mayor Jim Dodge said.

Dodge described a recently enacted state law that, he said, permits hearing officers to issue non‑monetary orders in addition to fines 'up to 50,000' (transcript wording). The mayor framed the change as an additional tool for addressing repeat code violations and improving the village's appearance.

The transcript does not identify the specific statute or provide the ordinance number. The record does not include vote tallies, mover/second information, or the ordinance text; those details were not specified in the brief.
