Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed a new bill aimed at providing financial relief to homeowners affected by flood damage.
The legislation, signed on Friday, authorizes local home equity assurance programs to assist residents in recovering from the financial impact of flooding.

Impact & Risks

The bill is expected to benefit Illinois homeowners who have suffered flood damage, particularly those in flood-prone areas.
