Bill	HOUSING AUTH-TENANT BACKGROUND	Amends the Housing Authorities Act. Provides that a housing authority may refuse to certify or recertify applicants, current tenants, or other household members (instead of refuse to renew the tenancy of any person) under certain conditions, including a person's conviction of a criminal offense relating to the sale or distribution of controlled substances. Eliminates a provision concerning confirmation of conviction data by a fingerprint-based criminal history records check, and provides instead that if a housing authority desires a criminal history records check of all 50 states or a 50-state confirmation of a conviction record, the authority shall submit the fingerprints of the relevant applicant, tenant, or other household member to the Department of State Police in a manner prescribed by the Department of State Police. Effective immediately.	us/states/il	Illinois General Assembly	93rd	SB 2921	Illinois SB 2921 (93rd)	bill		enacted		3	28	2	2004-02-06	2004-07-15	openstates	ocd-bill/f629a4a0-8787-439f-82c5-e278191449e1	http://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=2921&GAID=3&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=10028&SessionID=3&GA=93	bb025cb5802e7cf0a0646f3f052321488a538a7ff8545f11a73387ad4db2be1d	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-il
