Provides a process for an operator of a hotel to evict an occupant of the hotel who fails to pay the full amount of lodging when due and remains on the premises without the consent of the operator. Provides that nothing in the Act may be construed to affect the rights or remedies of an occupant who is a tenant under a bona fide lease agreement governed by Illinois landlord-tenant law. Provides that an operator or employee of an operator who is acting in good faith and in substantial compliance with the Act to be civilly or criminally liable for requesting law-enforcement assistance or for the peaceful removal of a non-paying occupant. Provides that the Act does not apply to any occupant placed in a hotel under a government-funded emergency, disaster-relief, or transitional housing program if: (1) the cost of lodging is paid for, directly or indirectly, by a federal, State, or local agency; and (2) the lodging agreement or agency contract expressly specifies the occupant's temporary stay and removal procedures. Authorizes a peace officer to remove a non-paying occupant as a trespasser upon verification of the operator's documentation under the Act and arrest the person for criminal trespass to real property under the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that nothing in the Act requires law enforcement to intervene in a bona fide lease dispute or a matter in which the occupant's payment status is genuinely contested. Authorizes the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board to adopt model policies and training materials for law-enforcement agencies and operators regarding the application of the Act.
