Champaign — Ch. 17 Human Rights § 17-127
Review
Operative Text
Any person suffering a legal wrong, or adversely affected or aggrieved by an order or decision of the Commission in a matter, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, is entitled to a judicial review thereof upon filing a written petition for such a review with the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit or any court of competent jurisdiction, within thirty (30) days from the date that a copy of the decision or final order sought to be reviewed was served on the party affected thereby.
Section 17-127 of Champaign's Human Rights chapter establishes a pathway for judicial review of Commission decisions. Any individual who believes they have suffered a legal wrong or been negatively affected by a Commission order or decision may ask a court to review that outcome. To pursue this review, the affected party must file a written petition with the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit or another court of competent jurisdiction within 30 days of being served with the decision or final order.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 17-127, property owners or managers who receive an adverse order or decision from the Commission have the right to seek judicial review of that outcome. A compliant operator generally tracks the date on which any Commission decision is served, since the 30-day window for filing a written petition with the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit begins running from that date. Maintaining organized records of all Commission correspondence helps ensure that any deadline under this provision is not inadvertently missed.

Section 17-127 gives tenants and other parties who are adversely affected by a Commission decision the right to challenge that outcome in court. If a Commission order or decision under Chapter 17 does not resolve a matter in a way a tenant believes is correct, they may file a written petition for judicial review with the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit within 30 days of being served with that decision. Tenant-rights organizations in the Champaign area can help explain what this review process generally involves and what options may be available.
