Section 3. All state, county, and local law enforcement officers in the State of Illinois are instructed to cease enforcement of orders of eviction for residential premises, unless the tenant, lessee, sub-lessee, or resident of the residential property has been found to pose a direct threat to the health and safety of other tenants or an immediate and severe risk to property.

Notes
The winter 2020-21 form of the moratorium, tied to a tenant declaration under penalty of perjury; the Supreme Court's order of Apr. 6, 2021 recites its chain of re-issues.
