2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

7 Sec. 35d. Execution; permanent index number. In a county
8 with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, whenever any deed or
9 instrument of conveyance is executed, the grantor of
10 residential property shall provide the grantee of the
11 property with an individual permanent index number or numbers
12 that specifically represent the legal description provided
13 for in the deed or instrument of conveyance. If the
14 individual permanent index number or numbers do not
15 specifically represent the legal description in the deed or
16 instrument of conveyance, the grantor shall provide one of
17 the following:
18 (1) proof that a proper application for division
19 which requests division of property, a portion of which
20 would result in a permanent index number or numbers that
21 represent the legal description found in the deed or
22 instrument of conveyance, has been filed with the county
23 assessor;
24 (2) a recorded plat of subdivision that would
25 result in the issuance of a permanent index number or
26 numbers as described in subdivision (1); or
27 (3) a recorded condominium declaration that would
28 result in the issuance of a permanent index number or
29 numbers as described in subdivision (1).
30 If the grantor fails to provide the grantee with either a
31 permanent index number or numbers that represent the legal

1 description found in the deed or instrument of conveyance or
2 one of the documents listed in subdivision (1), (2), or (3),
3 the grantor shall be personally liable to the grantee for
4 taxes pursuant to Section 1-145 of the Property Tax Code and
5 attorney's fees. The grantor's liability shall continue to
6 accrue until the permanent index number or numbers that
7 represent the legal description found in the deed or
8 instrument of conveyance or one of the documents listed in
9 subdivision (1), (2), or (3) is delivered to the grantee. The
10 grantor's failure to provide the permanent index number or
11 numbers shall not invalidate the deed or instrument of
12 conveyance. A receipt from the county assessor confirming
13 that a proper application has been filed and that it meets
14 the requirements set by the county assessor shall be deemed
15 to be evidence of proper application for division.
16 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
17 becoming law.
