Committee advances amendment to Palatine 'crime‑free multi‑housing' code to align with state statute
Summary
A police policy committee approved an ordinance amendment to update the village's crime‑free multi‑housing code to reflect a state statute that limits evictions tied to domestic‑violence 911 calls; the measure will go on the council's consent agenda.
The Police Policy and Code Services Committee voted to advance an amendment to the village's crime‑free multi‑housing ordinance so the municipal code matches a newly effective state statute, according to staff.
"The state has now said you can't do it that way since we've never done that," said village staff explaining the change, adding the update will not alter other program practices. Staff characterized the amendment as a technical modification to reflect state law rather than a substantive policy change.
The committee heard no public testimony on the item and approved the motion to forward the ordinance to the council as part of the consent agenda.
