The Illinois Self Storage Association and industry legal expert Jeffrey Greenberger will present a one-hour webinar on the new Illinois self-storage lien law on Sept. 21, 10 a.m. EST. The online event will address the recent amendments to the Illinois Self Service Storage Facility Act and how the new law will impact self-storage facility operators.

Two weeks ago, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed Senate Bill 1394 (SB1394), now published as Public Act 097-0599, into law. The legislation, which includes several improvements for the states self-storage businesses, went into immediate effect.
