    AN ACT concerning property. 
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Electric Vehicle Charging Act is amended by 
changing Section 10 as follows:
 
    (765 ILCS 1085/10)
    Sec. 10. Applicability. 
    (a) For the purposes of Sections 20 and 25, this Act 
applies to newly constructed single-family homes and 
multifamily residential buildings that have parking spaces and 
are constructed after the effective date of this Act.
    (b) For the purposes of Sections 30 and 35, this Act 
applies to unit owners, tenants, landlords, and associations 
of both newly constructed and existing single-family homes and 
multifamily residential buildings that have parking spaces. 
    (c) The provisions of this Act do not apply to any tiny 
home constructed for veterans who are homeless or at risk of 
homelessness and in need of secure, long-term affordable 
housing, if that tiny home is constructed by a nonprofit 
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) or Section 
501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that 
exclusively funds and administers projects and services for 
veterans. Every county and municipality that has the power to 
issue building permits and otherwise control the construction 
of buildings shall require by ordinance that an applicant 
seeking a building permit to construct tiny homes for at-risk 
veterans must include with the permit application a completed 
and signed affidavit stating that all buildings constructed 
under the permit are designated for the exclusive use of 
qualifying veterans who are homeless or at risk of 
homelessness and in need of secure, long-term affordable 
housing. No county or municipality, including a home rule 
unit, shall adopt any building code or ordinance that requires 
EV-capable parking spaces for tiny homes constructed for the 
purpose of providing affordable housing for at-risk veterans 
as provided in this subsection. This subsection is a 
limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of 
the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home 
rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
    As used in this subsection:
    "Tiny home" means an individual, detached residential 
dwelling unit of no more than 800 square feet, occupying a lot 
either by itself or sharing a common lot with other tiny homes. 
"Tiny home" does not include a manufactured home as defined in 
the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. "Tiny home" 
does not include a single unit in a small multifamily 
residence or a large multifamily residence. 
    "Veteran" means a person who served in and who has 
received an honorable or general discharge from, the United 
States Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marines, Coast 
Guard, or reserves thereof, or who served in the Army National 
Guard, Air National Guard, or Illinois National Guard.
