Section 1 of 50 Ill. Comp. Stat. 825 establishes the official short title of the Illinois law that addresses rent control at the state level. The provision itself does nothing more than assign a name — the 'Rent Control Preemption Act' — to the broader statute. The substantive rules and prohibitions are found in the Act's other sections, which this title provision introduces.
