What is the BUILD Act and what could it mean for homeowners in Illinois if it's passed?

The BUILD Act, proposed by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, aims to address a housing shortage by allowing small apartment buildings and accessory dwellings in residential areas, streamlining permitting processes, and limiting parking requirements. While supporters argue it will expand affordable housing, suburban mayors like those of Palos Park and Orland Park oppose it, citing concerns over local control and infrastructure impacts.
