Quinn signs law to fast-track foreclosures

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a new law that's designed to speed up Illinois' foreclosure process.



The governor's office says the law will help restore neighborhoods and property values by decreasing the time a home sits empty and getting properties back on the market. The foreclosure process now takes nearly two years, and the law is designed to shorten that to a few months.



Quinn says the bill also will allow the state to invest in Illinois families by preventing foreclosures in the first place.
