| 8 | | Zones. |
| 9 | | (a) Approval of designated River Edge Redevelopment Zones |
| 10 | | shall be made by the Department by certification of the |
| 11 | | designating ordinance. The Department shall promptly issue a |
| 12 | | certificate for each zone upon its approval. The certificate |
| 13 | | shall be signed by the Director of the Department, shall make |
| 14 | | specific reference to the designating ordinance, which shall |
| 15 | | be attached thereto, and shall be filed in the office of the |
| 16 | | Secretary of State. A certified copy of the River Edge |
| 17 | | Redevelopment Zone Certificate, or a duplicate original |
| 18 | | thereof, shall be recorded in the office of the recorder of |
| 19 | | deeds of the county in which the River Edge Redevelopment Zone |
| 20 | | lies. |
| 21 | | (b) A River Edge Redevelopment Zone shall be effective |
| 22 | | upon its certification. The Department shall transmit a copy |
| 23 | | of the certification to the Department of Revenue, and to the |
|
| | SB3488 | - 2 - | LRB102 25105 AWJ 34367 b |
|
|
| 1 | | designating municipality.
Upon certification of a River Edge |
| 2 | | Redevelopment Zone, the terms and provisions of the |
| 3 | | designating ordinance shall be in effect, and may not be |
| 4 | | amended or repealed except in accordance with Section 10-5.4. |
| 5 | | (c) A River Edge Redevelopment Zone shall be in effect for |
| 6 | | the period stated in the certificate, which shall in no event |
| 7 | | exceed 30 calendar years. Zones shall terminate at midnight of |
| 8 | | December 31 of the final calendar year of the certified term, |
| 9 | | except as provided in Section 10-5.4. |
| 10 | | (d) In calendar years 2006 and 2007, the Department may |
| 11 | | certify one pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the City of |
| 12 | | East St. Louis, one pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the |
| 13 | | City of Rockford, and one pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone |
| 14 | | in the City of Aurora. |
| 15 | | In calendar year 2009, the Department may certify one |
| 16 | | pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the City of Elgin. |
| 17 | | On or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of |
| 18 | | the 97th General Assembly, the Department may certify one |
| 19 | | additional pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the City of |
| 20 | | Peoria. |
| 21 | | On or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of |
| 22 | | the 102nd General Assembly, the Department may certify one |
| 23 | | additional pilot River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the City of |
| 24 | | Joliet. |
| 25 | | Thereafter the Department may not certify any additional |
| 26 | | River Edge Redevelopment Zones, but may amend and rescind |
|
| | SB3488 | - 3 - | LRB102 25105 AWJ 34367 b |
|
|
| 1 | | certifications of existing River Edge Redevelopment Zones in |
| 2 | | accordance with Section 10-5.4, except that no River Edge |
| 3 | | Redevelopment Zone may be extended on or after the effective |
| 4 | | date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. Each |
| 5 | | River Edge Redevelopment Zone in existence on the effective |
| 6 | | date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall |
| 7 | | continue until its scheduled termination under this Act, |
| 8 | | unless the Zone is decertified sooner. At the time of its term |
| 9 | | expiration each River Edge Redevelopment Zone will become an |
| 10 | | open enterprise zone, available for the previously designated |
| 11 | | area or a different area to compete for designation as an |
| 12 | | enterprise zone. No preference for designation as a Zone will |
| 13 | | be given to the previously designated area. |
| 14 | | (e) A municipality in which a River Edge Redevelopment |
| 15 | | Zone has been certified must submit to the Department, within |
| 16 | | 60 days after the certification, a plan for encouraging the |
| 17 | | participation by minority persons, women, persons with |
| 18 | | disabilities, and veterans in the zone. The Department may |
| 19 | | assist the municipality in developing and implementing the |
| 20 | | plan. The terms "minority person", "woman", and "person with a |
| 21 | | disability" have the meanings set forth under Section 2 of the |
| 22 | | Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with |
| 23 | | Disabilities Act. "Veteran" means an Illinois resident who is |
| 24 | | a veteran as defined in subsection (h) of Section 1491 of Title |
| 25 | | 10 of the United States Code.
