Time for an IL voice to chime in. The law reads, any offstreet public or
private parking facility.
Private parking facility means one of the hundreds of privately owned parking
garages in the Chicagoland area, many of which offer free charging with the
roughly $20 fee to park there. And the spirit of the law is to protect these
spots from being Ice'd.
Regarding private drives, I don't think the police would have any jurisdiction
to write a ticket there. I mean, if I put up handicap signage and paint a
handicap parking space in my driveway, could the police ticket me if I park
there without a handicap placard? I think not.

What I read is exactly what the reporter wrote: any public or private
parking, so if you have a private
reserved spot and you place an EV charging sign in it and then you park your
ICE in it, it is possible
(not likely, but possible) that you get towed and ticketed.
This is not so different from parking in front of your own driveway.
A police officer has no way of knowing of an illegal parked car is blocking
your driveway
or that it is your own vehicle, so he can write a ticket for your car parked
in the street in front of your own driveway.
I don't see much problem with that.
If you don't want to be ticketed for parking your ICE in your spot then don't
put up an EV charging sign.

Are you certain they are not talking about a privately owned parking garage?
Some of these have installed EVSEs. That would make more sense.
Maybe. Yes, that would make more sense.
Hart to be sure from the story, though. Today's journalists are notorious
for getting things like this wrong, or omitting essential details. You'd
have to go right to the bill itself to see if it could affect home garages.
You'd sure hope not!
