AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3086

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3086 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Article 1. General Provisions

Section 1-1-1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Eminent Domain Act.

Section 1-1-5. Definitions. In this Act:

"Condemning authority" means the State or any unit of local government, school district, or other entity authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.

"Threat of condemnation" means that the condemning authority has made an offer to purchase property and has the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain with respect to that property.

Article 5. General Exercise

Section 5-5-5. Exercise of the power of eminent domain; qualified public use; blight.

(a) In addition to all other limitations and requirements, a condemning authority may not take or damage property by the exercise of the power of eminent domain unless it is for a "qualified public use", as defined under this Section.

(b) The exercise of eminent domain authority is for a "qualified public use" if the acquisition of property is (i) for public ownership and control by the condemning authority or another governmental entity, (ii) for a public purpose, and (iii) necessary for that public purpose. Economic development and the elimination of blight are included among public purposes under this subsection.

(c) The exercise of eminent domain authority to acquire property for private ownership or control, other than when the primary basis is the elimination of blight, is a "qualified public use" only if the condemning authority proves by clear and convincing evidence that acquisition of property for private ownership or control is (i) primarily for the benefit, use, or enjoyment of the public and (ii) necessary for a public purpose.

(d) The exercise of eminent domain authority to acquire property for private ownership or control, when the primary basis for the acquisition is the elimination of blight, is a "qualified public use" and for a public purpose only if the condemning authority (i) proves by a preponderance of the evidence that acquisition of the property for private ownership or control is necessary for a public purpose, (ii) proves the existence of blight by a preponderance of the evidence, and (iii) proves by a preponderance of the evidence (A) that it has entered into an express written agreement in which a private person or entity agrees to undertake a development project within the blighted area that specifically details the reasons for which the property or rights in that property are necessary for the development project, or (B) that the exercise of eminent domain power and the proposed use of the property by the condemning authority are consistent with a regional plan that has been adopted within the past 5 years in accordance with Section 5-14001 of the Counties Code or Section 11-12-6 of the Illinois Municipal Code or with a local land resource management plan adopted under Section 4 of the Local Land Resource Management Planning Act. The existence of an ordinance, resolution, or other official act designating an area as blighted is not prima facie evidence of blight.

(e) "Private ownership or control" shall be liberally construed to prevent the use of long-term leases, options to purchase, and other mechanisms intended to defeat the purpose of this Section, which is to limit the acquisition of property by eminent domain when it is primarily for the benefit and use of private entities.

(f) This Article is a limitation on the exercise of the power of eminent domain, but is not an independent grant of authority to exercise the power of eminent domain.

Inclusion in the list does not create a grant of power, and it does not continue or revive a grant of power that has been amended or repealed or is no longer applicable. Omission from the list of a statute that includes an express grant of the power to acquire property by condemnation or eminent domain does not invalidate that grant of power.

The list does not include the grants of quick-take power that are set forth in Article 25 of this Act, nor any other grants of power that are expressly granted under the other provisions of this Act.

Items in the list are presented in the following form: ILCS citation; short title of the Act; condemning authority; brief statement of purpose for which the power is granted.

Section 20-5-10 7-104. Preliminary finding of compensation.

(a) The court shall fix a date, not less than 5 days after the filing of a such motion under Section 20-5-5, for the hearing on that motion thereon, and shall require due notice to be given to each party to the proceeding whose interests would be affected by the taking requested, except that any party who has been or is being served by publication and who has not entered his or her appearance in the proceeding need not be given notice unless the court so requires, in its discretion and in the interests of justice.

(b) At the hearing, if the court has not previously, in the same proceeding, determined that the plaintiff has authority to exercise the right of eminent domain, that the property sought to be taken is subject to the exercise of that such right, and that the such right of eminent domain is not being improperly exercised in the particular proceeding, then the court shall first hear and determine those such matters. The court's order on those matters thereon is appealable, and an appeal may be taken from that order therefrom by either party within 30 days after the entry of the such order, but not thereafter, unless the court, on good cause shown, extends the time for taking the such appeal. However, no appeal shall stay the further proceedings herein prescribed in this Act unless the appeal is taken by the plaintiff, or unless an order staying such further proceedings is entered either by the trial court or by the court to which the such appeal is taken.

(c) If the foregoing matters are determined in favor of the plaintiff and further proceedings are not stayed, or if further proceedings are stayed and the appeal results in a determination in favor of the plaintiff, the court then shall hear the issues raised by the plaintiff's motion for taking. If the court finds that reasonable necessity exists for taking the property in the manner requested in the motion, then the court shall hear such evidence as it may consider necessary and proper for a preliminary finding of just compensation. In ; and, in its discretion, the court may appoint 3 competent and disinterested appraisers as agents of the court to evaluate the property to which the motion relates and to report their conclusions to the court; and their fees shall be paid by the plaintiff. The court shall then make a preliminary finding of the amount constituting just compensation.

(d) The court's Such preliminary finding of just compensation, and any deposit made or security provided pursuant to that finding thereto, shall not be evidence in the further proceedings to ascertain finally the just compensation to be paid, and shall not be disclosed in any manner to a jury impaneled in the such proceedings. If ; and if appraisers have been appointed, as herein authorized under this Article, their report shall not be evidence in those such further proceedings, but the appraisers may be called as witnesses by the parties to the proceedings.

(b) If, at the request of any interested party and upon his or her showing of undue hardship or other good cause, the plaintiff's authority to take possession of the property is postponed for more than 10 days after the date of such vesting of title, or more than 15 days after the entry of the such order of taking when the order does not vest title in the plaintiff, then that party shall pay to the plaintiff a reasonable rental for the such property in an , the amount thereof to be determined by the court. Injunctive relief or any other appropriate judicial process or procedure shall be available to place the plaintiff in possession of the property on and after the date fixed by the court for the taking of such possession, and to prevent any unauthorized interference with such possession and the plaintiff's proper use of the property. The county treasurer shall refund to the plaintiff the amount deposited prior to October 1, 1973 that , which is in excess of the amount preliminarily found by the court to be just compensation.

Section 95-10-20. The State Parks Act is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:

(20 ILCS 835/2) (from Ch. 105, par. 466)

Sec. 2. It shall be the policy of the State of Illinois to acquire a system of State parks which shall embody the following purposes and objectives:

(1) To preserve the most important historic sites and events which are connected with early pioneer or Indian history, so that such history of the Indians, explorers, missionaries and settlers may be preserved, not only as a tribute to those who made possible the building of the State of Illinois and of the Union, but also as a part of the education of present and future Illinois citizens.

(2) To set aside as public reservations those locations which have unusual scenic attractions caused by geologic or topographic formations, such as canyons, gorges, caves, dunes, beaches, moraines, palisades, examples of Illinois prairie, and points of scientific interest to botanists and naturalists. These areas should be large in size and whenever practicable shall be not less than 1,000 acres in extent. However, smaller areas may be acquired wherever conditions do not warrant the acquisition of the larger acreage.

(3) To preserve large forested areas and marginal lands along the rivers, small water courses, and lakes for a recreation use different from that given by the typical city park, and so that these tracts may remain unchanged by civilization, so far as possible, and be kept for future generations. Such areas also, should be acquired in units of 1,000 acres or more and may be available as fish and game preserves. However, smaller areas may be acquired wherever conditions do not warrant the acquisition of the larger acreage.

(4) To connect these parks with each other by a system of scenic parkways with widths varying from 100 to 1,000 feet, as a supplement to and completion of the State highway system. Where the present State highway routes may serve this purpose, their location, alignment and design should be studied with this plan in view. At suitable locations along these highways, pure water supplies and shelters and comfort facilities of attractive design may be installed for the convenience of the public.

The Department of Natural Resources is authorized in behalf of the State of Illinois to accept by donation or bequest, to purchase or acquire by condemnation proceedings in the manner provided for the exercise of the power of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, or by contract for deed payable over a period of time not to exceed 10 years, or in any other legal manner, the title to all such lands, waters or regions, and the easements appurtenant or contributory thereto, which shall be in accord with such policy in respect to a system of State parks, for the purpose of which the General Assembly may make an appropriation. Purchases by contract for deed under this Section shall not exceed $20,000,000 in total purchase price for land under contract at any one given time.

Section 95-10-25. The Illinois Coal and Energy Development Bond Act is amended by changing Section 3 as follows:

(20 ILCS 1110/3) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 4103)

Sec. 3. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs shall have the following powers and duties:

(a) To solicit, accept and expend gifts, grants or any form of assistance, from any source, including but not limited to, the federal government or any agency thereof;

(b) To enter into contracts, including, but not limited to, service contracts, with business, industrial, university, governmental or other qualified individuals or organizations to promote development of coal and other energy resources. Such contracts may be for, but are not limited to, the following purposes: (1) the commercial application of existing technology for development of coal resources, (2) to initiate or complete development of new technology for development of coal resources, and (3) for planning, design, acquisition, development, construction, improvement and financing a site or sites and facilities for establishing plants, projects or demonstrations for development of coal resources and research, development and demonstration of alternative forms of energy; and

(c) In the exercise of other powers granted it under this Act, to acquire property, real, personal or mixed, including any rights therein, by exercise of the power of condemnation in accordance with the procedures provided for the exercise of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended, provided, however, the power of condemnation shall be exercised solely for the purposes of siting and/or rights of way and/or easements appurtenant to coal utilization and/or coal conversion projects. The Department shall not exercise its powers of condemnation until it has used reasonable good faith efforts to acquire such property before filing a petition for condemnation and may thereafter use such powers when it determines that such condemnation of property rights is necessary to avoid unreasonable delay or economic hardship to the progress of activities carried out in the exercise of powers granted under this Act. After June 30, 1985, the Department shall not exercise its power of condemnation for a project which does not receive State or U.S. Government funding. Before use of the power of condemnation for projects not receiving State or U.S. Government funding, the Department shall hold a public hearing to receive comments on the exercise of the power of condemnation. The Department shall use the information received at hearing in making its final decision on the exercise of the power of condemnation. The hearing shall be held in a location reasonably accessible to the public interested in the decision. The Department shall promulgate guidelines for the conduct of the hearing.

(a) Acquire by purchase or otherwise (including the power of condemnation in the manner provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended), construct, complete, remodel and install fixed equipment in any and all buildings and other facilities as the General Assembly by law declares to be in the public interest.

Whenever the General Assembly has by law declared it to be in the public interest for the Authority to acquire any real estate, construct, complete, remodel and install fixed equipment in buildings and other facilities for public community college districts, the Director of the Department of Central Management Services shall, when requested by any such public community college district board, enter into a lease by and on behalf of and for the use of such public community college district board to the extent appropriations have been made by the General Assembly to pay the rents under the terms of such lease.

In the course of such activities, acquire property of any and every kind and description, whether real, personal or mixed, by gift, purchase or otherwise. It may also acquire real estate of the State of Illinois controlled by any officer, department, board, commission, or other agency of the State, or the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Chicago State University, the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Governors State University, the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University, the Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Northern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Western Illinois University, the School Building Commission or any public community college district board, the jurisdiction of which is transferred by such officer, department, board, commission, or other agency, or the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Chicago State University, the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Governors State University, the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University, the Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Northern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Western Illinois University, or the School Building Commission or any public community college district board, to the Authority. The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Chicago State University, the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Governors State University, the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University, the Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Northern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Western Illinois University, or the School Building Commission and any public community college district board, respectively, shall prepare plans and specifications for and have supervision over any project to be undertaken by the Authority for their use. Before any other particular construction is undertaken, plans and specifications shall be approved by the lessee provided for under (b) below, except as indicated above.

(b) Execute leases of facilities and sites to, and charge for the use of any such facilities and sites by, any officer, department, board, commission or other agency of the State of Illinois, or the Director of the Department of Central Management Services when the Director is requested to, by and on behalf of, or for the use of, any officer, department, board, commission or other agency of the State of Illinois, or by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, the Board of Trustees of Southern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Chicago State University, the Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Governors State University, the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University, the Board of Trustees of Northeastern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Northern Illinois University, the Board of Trustees of Western Illinois University, or the School Building Commission or any public community college district board. Such leases may be entered into contemporaneously with any financing to be done by the Authority and payments under the terms of the lease shall begin at any time after execution of any such lease.

(c) In the event of non-payment of rents reserved in such leases, maintain and operate such facilities and sites or execute leases thereof to others for any suitable purposes. Such leases to the officers, departments, boards, commissions, other agencies, the respective Boards of Trustees,, or the School Building Commission or any public community college district board shall contain the provision that rents under such leases shall be payable solely from appropriations to be made by the General Assembly for the payment of such rent and any revenues derived from the operation of the leased premises.

(d) Borrow money and issue and sell bonds in such amount or amounts as the Authority may determine for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, completing or remodeling, or putting fixed equipment in any such facility; refund and refinance the same from time to time as often as advantageous and in the public interest to do so; and pledge any and all income of such Authority, and any revenues derived from such facilities, or any combination thereof, to secure the payment of such bonds and to redeem such bonds. All such bonds are subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Act.

In addition to the permanent financing authorized by Sections 5 and 6 of this Act, the Illinois Building Authority may borrow money and issue interim notes in evidence thereof for any of the projects, or to perform any of the duties authorized under this Act, and in addition may borrow money and issue interim notes for planning, architectural and engineering, acquisition of land, and purchase of fixed equipment as follows:

1. Whenever the Authority considers it advisable and in the interests of the Authority to borrow funds temporarily for any of the purposes enumerated in this Section, the Authority may from time to time, and pursuant to appropriate resolution, issue interim notes to evidence such borrowings including funds for the payment of interest on such borrowings and funds for all necessary and incidental expenses in connection with any of the purposes provided for by this Section and this Act until the date of the permanent financing. Any resolution authorizing the issuance of such notes shall describe the project to be undertaken and shall specify the principal amount, rate of interest (not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract,) and maturity date, but not to exceed 5 years from date of issue, and such other terms as may be specified in such resolution; however, time of payment of any such notes may be extended for a period of not exceeding 3 years from the maturity date thereof.

The Authority may provide for the registration of the notes in the name of the owner either as to principal alone, or as to both principal and interest, on such terms and conditions as the Authority may determine by the resolution authorizing their issue. The notes shall be issued from time to time by the Authority as funds are borrowed, in the manner the Authority may determine. Interest on the notes may be made payable semiannually, annually or at maturity. The notes may be made redeemable, prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in the manner and upon the terms fixed by the resolution authorizing their issuance. The notes may be executed in the name of the Authority by the Chairman of the Authority or by any other officer or officers of the Authority as the Authority by resolution may direct, shall be attested by the Secretary or such other officer or officers of the Authority as the Authority may by resolution direct, and be sealed with the Authority's corporate seal. All such notes and the interest thereon may be secured by a pledge of any income and revenue derived by the Authority from the project to be undertaken with the proceeds of the notes and shall be payable solely from such income and revenue and from the proceeds to be derived from the sale of any revenue bonds for permanent financing authorized to be issued under Sections 5 and 6 of this Act, and from the property acquired with the proceeds of the notes.

Contemporaneously with the issue of revenue bonds as provided by this Act, all interim notes, even though they may not then have matured, shall be paid, both principal and interest to date of payment, from the funds derived from the sale of revenue bonds for the permanent financing and such interim notes shall be surrendered and canceled.

2. The Authority, in order further to secure the payment of the interim notes, is, in addition to the foregoing, authorized and empowered to make any other or additional covenants, terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Section, and do any and all acts and things as may be necessary or convenient or desirable in order to secure payment of its interim notes, or in the discretion of the Authority, as will tend to make the interim notes more acceptable to lenders, notwithstanding that the covenants, acts or things may not be enumerated herein; however, nothing contained in this subparagraph shall authorize the Authority to secure the payment of the interim notes out of property or facilities, other than the facilities acquired with the proceeds of the interim notes, and any net income and revenue derived from the facilities and the proceeds of revenue bonds as hereinabove provided.

(e) Convey property, without charge, to the State or to the appropriate corporate agency of the State or to any public community college district board if and when all debts which have been secured by the income from such property have been paid.

(f) Enter into contracts regarding any matter connected with any corporate purpose within the objects and purposes of this Act.

(g) Employ agents and employees necessary to carry out the duties and purposes of the Authority.

(h) Adopt all necessary by-laws, rules and regulations for the conduct of the business and affairs of the Authority, and for the management and use of facilities and sites acquired under the powers granted by this Act.

(i) Have and use a common seal and alter the same at pleasure.

The Interim notes shall constitute State debt of the State of Illinois within the meaning of any of the provisions of the Constitution and statutes of the State of Illinois.

No member, officer, agent or employee of the Authority, nor any other person who executes interim notes, shall be liable personally by reason of the issuance thereof.

With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.

The county clerk is entitled to a fee of $5 in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants and $2 in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants for preparing the estimate of the amount required to redeem.

Sec. 2. If the territory of any municipality shall be wholly within, coextensive with, or partly within and partly without the corporate limits of any other municipality, or if the municipality is a school district and the territory of the school district is adjacent to the boundaries of any other school district, and the first mentioned municipality (herein called "transferee municipality"), shall by ordinance declare that it is necessary or convenient for it to use, occupy or improve any real estate held by the last mentioned municipality (herein called the "transferor municipality") in the making of any public improvement or for any public purpose, the corporate authorities of the transferor municipality shall have the power to transfer all of the right, title and interest held by it immediately prior to such transfer, in and to such real estate, whether located within or without either or both of said municipalities, to the transferee municipality upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the corporate authorities of both municipalities, in the manner and upon the conditions following:

(a) If such real estate shall be held by the transferor municipality without restriction, the said municipality shall have power to grant or convey such real estate or any portion thereof to the transferee municipality upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the corporate authorities of both municipalities, by an instrument of conveyance signed by the mayor, president or other chief executive of the transferor municipality, attested by its clerk or secretary and sealed with its corporate seal, all duly authorized by a resolution passed by the vote of 2/3 of the members of the legislative body of the transferor municipality then holding office, and duly recorded in the office of the recorder in the county in which said real estate is located.

The transferee municipality shall thereafter have the right to use, occupy or improve the real estate so transferred for any municipal or public purpose and shall hold said real estate by the same right, title and interest by which the transferor municipality held said real estate immediately prior to said transfer.

(b) If any such real estate shall be held by the transferor municipality subject to or limited by any restriction, and the transferee municipality shall desire the use, occupation or improvement thereof free from said restriction, the transferor municipality (or the transferee municipality, in the name of and for and on behalf of the transferor municipality, but without subjecting the transferor municipality to any expense without the consent of its corporate authorities), shall have the power to secure from its grantor, or grantors, their heirs, successors, assigns, or others, a release of any or all of such restrictions upon such terms as may be agreed upon between either of said municipalities and the person or persons entitled to the benefit of said restrictions. Upon the recording of any such release the transferor municipality shall then have the powers granted in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(c) If either the transferor municipality or the transferee municipality shall be unable to secure a release of any restriction as above provided, the transferor municipality (or the transferee municipality in the name of and for and in behalf of the transferor municipality, but without subjecting the transferor municipality to any expense without the consent of its corporate authorities), shall have the power to file in any circuit court a petition for the purpose of removing or releasing said restriction and determining the compensation, if any, to be paid in consequence thereof to the owner or owners of said real estate, for any right, title or interest which they or any of them may or might have in and to any such real estate arising out of said restriction. If any compensation shall be awarded, the same shall be measured by the actual damage, if any, to the owner or owners of said real estate, resulting from the removal or release of said restriction, and shall be determined as of the date of the filing of said petition. Upon the payment of such compensation as may be awarded, if any, the transferor municipality shall have the powers granted in paragraph (a) of this Section, and said transferor municipality shall grant and convey the said real estate to the transferee municipality upon the terms and conditions theretofore agreed upon by the said municipalities and in the manner provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) If the transferor municipality shall hold an easement in any real estate for a particular purpose different from the purpose for which the transferee municipality shall desire to use, occupy or improve said real estate, the transferor municipality (or the transferee municipality in the name of and for and in behalf of the transferor municipality, but without subjecting the transferor municipality to any expense without the consent of its corporate authorities), shall have the power to file in any circuit court a petition for the purpose of terminating said easement and securing the right to use, occupy and improve any such real estate for the purpose or purposes set forth in said petition, and for determining the compensation, if any, to be paid in consequence thereof to the owner, or owners of said real estate. If any compensation shall be awarded, the same shall be measured by the actual damage, if any, to the owner or owners of said real estate, resulting from the termination of the said easement and the granting of the right sought in said petition, and shall be determined as of the date of the filing of said petition. Upon the payment of such compensation as may be awarded, if any, the easement held by the transferor municipality shall in the final order entered in such proceeding be declared terminated and the right of the transferee municipality in said real estate shall be declared. If the transferee municipality shall desire to use, occupy or improve said real estate for the same purpose authorized by the easement held by the transferor municipality, the transferor municipality shall have the power to transfer said easement to the transferee municipality by instrument of conveyance as provided for in paragraph (a).

(e) If such real estate shall have been acquired or improved by the transferor municipality under the Local Improvements Act, or under the said Act in conjunction with any other Act, and the times fixed for the payment of all installments of the special assessments therefor have not elapsed at the time the transferor and transferee municipalities shall have reached an agreement for the transfer of said real estate, the transferee municipality shall deposit with the transferor municipality to be placed in the special assessment funds authorized to be collected to pay the cost of acquiring or improving said real estate, an amount sufficient to pay (1) the installments of said special assessments not due and payable at the time of the agreement for said transfer, and (2) the amounts paid in advance by any property owner on account of said special assessments, which, had such amounts not been paid in advance, would have been due and payable after the date of such agreement, and the transferor municipality shall upon the receipt of such amount cause orders to be entered in the courts in which said special assessments were confirmed, cancelling the installments becoming due and payable after the said time at which the transferor and transferee municipalities shall have reached an agreement for the transfer of said real estate, and releasing the respective lots, tracts, and parcels of real estate assessed in any such proceedings from the installments of the said assessments in this paragraph authorized to be cancelled. The transferor municipality shall after the entry of such orders of cancellation refund to any property owner who has paid the same in advance, any amounts which otherwise would have been due and payable after the said time at which the transferor and transferee municipalities shall have reached an agreement for the transfer of said real estate. Upon the entry of such orders of cancellation the transferor municipality shall then have the powers granted in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(f) The procedure, for the removal of any restriction upon the real estate of the transferor municipality, for the termination of any easement of the transferor municipality in said real estate and the declaration of another or different right in the transferee municipality in said real estate, and for the ascertainment of just compensation therefor, shall be as near as may be like that provided for the exercise of the power of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(g) If any property shall be damaged by the release or removal of any restrictions upon, or the termination of any easement in, or the granting of a new right in any real estate held by the transferor municipality, the same shall be ascertained and paid as provided by law.

However, proceedings to ascertain the compensation to be paid for taking or damaging private property shall in all cases be instituted in the circuit court of the county where the property sought to be taken or damaged is situated.

In addition, when a Water Commission created under the Water Commission Act of 1985, as amended, requires that public property be taken or damaged for the purposes specified above, such commission may condemn and acquire possession of public property and cause compensation for such public property to be ascertained in the same manner provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended, during such time as the Commission has the power to initiate action in the manner provided by Article 20 of the Eminent Domain Act (quick-take procedure) Sections 7-103 through Sections 7-112 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended.

In the event a Commission created under the Water Commission Act of 1985 shall determine that negotiations for the acquisition of property or easements for making any improvement which such Commission is authorized to make have proven unsuccessful and the Commission shall have by resolution adopted a schedule or plan of operation for the execution of the project and therein made a finding that it is necessary to take such property or easements immediately or at some specified later date in order to comply with the schedule, the Commission may commence proceedings to acquire such property or easements in the same manner provided in Article 20 of the Eminent Domain Act (quick-take procedure) Sections 7-103 through 7-112 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended; except that if the property or easement is located in a municipality having more than 2,000,000 inhabitants, the Commission may not commence such proceedings until the acquisition has been approved by ordinance of the corporate authorities of the municipality.

Any commission has the power to acquire, hold, sell, lease as lessor or lessee, transfer or dispose of real or personal property, or interest therein, as it deems appropriate in the exercise of its powers for its lawful purposes. When, in the opinion of a commission, real estate owned by it, however acquired, is no longer necessary, appropriate, required for the use of, profitable to, or for best interest of the commission, such commission may, by resolution, lease such surplus real estate for a period not to exceed 99 years, or sell such surplus real estate, in accordance with procedures adopted by resolution by such commission.

Sec. 11-139-12.

The fair cash market value of an existing waterworks and sewerage system, or portion thereof, acquired under this Division 139, which existing system is a special use property as defined in Article VII of the "Code of Civil Procedure", approved August 19, 1981, as heretofore or hereafter amended, may be determined in accordance with the following valuation principles.

The fair cash market value of existing facilities, whether real or personal, may be determined by utilizing the net earnings which are attributable to the facilities in question for the preceding fiscal year on the date the condemnation petition is filed, over the remaining useful life of the facilities. Said earnings may be capitalized under an annuity capitalization method and discounted to present value. The fair cash market value of any extensions, additions or improvements of the existing system made subsequent to the date that the condemnation petition is filed may be determined by utilizing the probable net earnings attributable to the facilities in question over the remaining life of the facilities. The probable earnings may be capitalized under an annuity capitalization method and discounted to present value.

The value of the land and easements upon which the facilities are situated may be determined in accordance with the foregoing principles, giving due account to the special use of the property for water and sewerage purposes.

For the purposes of this Section no prior approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission, or any other body having jurisdiction over the existing system, shall be required.

(2) In addition to the powers granted in paragraph (1) of subsection (b), a park district located in more than one county, the majority of its territory located in a county over 450,000 in population and none of its territory located in a county over 1,000,000 in population, shall have condemnation power in the manner provided for the exercise of the power of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, approved August 19, 1981, as amended, or as otherwise granted by law as to any and all real estate situated up to one mile outside of such district which is not within the boundaries of another park district.

Such police officers when acting within the limits of any such city, town or village, shall act in aid of the regular police force thereof, and are subject to the direction of its chief of police, city or village marshals or other head thereof. However, in so doing, they shall not be prevented or hindered from executing the orders and authority of the board of trustees of such sanitary district. Before compelling a change in any method of disposal of sewage so as to prevent the pollution of any water, the board of trustees of such district shall first have provided means to prevent the pollution of the water from sewage or refuse originating from their own sanitary districts.

(b) Where any such sanitary district has constructed a sewage disposal plant and the board of trustees of such district finds that it will promote the public health, comfort or convenience, the board may build and maintain a dam or dams or other structures in any river or stream flowing in or through such district at any point or points within the boundaries of such district or within 3 miles outside the boundaries thereof so as to regulate or control the flow of the waters of such river or stream and the tributaries thereof, but shall not take or damage private property without making just compensation as provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended.

(c) After the construction of such sewage disposal plant, if the board finds that it will promote the public health, comfort or convenience, such board of trustees may by whatever means necessary, remove debris, refuse and other objectionable matter from, keep clean and wholesome, and dredge, dam, deepen or otherwise improve the channel, bed or banks of any such river or stream, or any portion thereof, within the boundaries of any such sanitary district or within 3 miles outside the boundaries thereof.

(d) After the construction of such sewage disposal plant, if the board finds that it will promote the prevention of pollution of waters of the State, such board of trustees may adopt ordinances or rules and regulations, prohibiting or regulating the discharge to sewers of inadmissible wastes or substances toxic to biological wastewater treatment processes. Inadmissible wastes include those which create a fire or explosion hazard in the sewer or treatment works; those which will impair the hydraulic capacity of sewer systems; and those which in any quantity, create a hazard to people, sewer systems, treatment processes, or receiving waters. Substances that may be toxic to wastewater treatment processes include copper, chromium, lead, zinc, arsenic and nickel and any poisonous compounds such as cyanide or radioactive wastes which pass through wastewater treatment plants in hazardous concentrations and menace users of the receiving waters. Such ordinances or rules and regulations shall be effective throughout the sanitary district, in the incorporated areas as well as the unincorporated areas and all public sewers therein.

(e) The board of trustees of any sanitary district organized under this Act is authorized to apply to the circuit court for injunctive relief or mandamus when, in the opinion of the board of trustees, such relief is necessary to prevent the pollution of any waters from which a water supply may be obtained by any municipality within the district.

(f) The sanitary district shall have the power and authority to prevent the pollution of any waters, as defined in Section 26 of this Act, from which a water supply may be obtained by any city, town or village. The sanitary district, acting through the chief administrative officer of such sanitary district, shall have the power to commence an action or proceeding in the circuit court in and for the county in which the district is located for the purpose of having the pollution stopped and prevented either by mandamus or injunction. The court shall specify a time, not exceeding 20 days after the service of the copy of the petition, in which the party complained of must answer the petition, and in the meantime, the party be restrained. In case of default in answer or after answer, the court shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances of the case and enter an appropriate order in respect to the matters complained of. An appeal may be taken in the same manner and with the same effect as appeals are taken in other actions for mandamus or injunction.

Sec. 7. Powers of trustees.

(a) The trustees shall have power to provide for the requisite buildings, apparatus, and conveniences; to fix the rates for tuition; to appoint such professors and instructors, and to establish and provide for the management of such model farms, model art, and other departments and professorships, as may be required to teach, in the most thorough manner, such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and military tactics, without excluding other scientific and classical studies. The trustees shall, upon the written request of an employee withhold from the compensation of that employee any dues, payments or contributions payable by such employee to any labor organization as defined in the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act. Under such arrangement, an amount shall be withheld from each regular payroll period which is equal to the pro rata share of the annual dues plus any payments or contributions, and the trustees shall transmit such withholdings to the specified labor organization within 10 working days from the time of the withholding. They may accept the endowments and voluntary professorships or departments in the University, from any person or persons or corporations who may offer the same, and, at any regular meeting of the board, may prescribe rules and regulations in relation to such endowments and declare on what general principles they may be admitted: Provided, that such special voluntary endowments or professorships shall not be incompatible with the true design and scope of the act of congress, or of this Act: Provided, that no student shall at any time be allowed to remain in or about the University in idleness, or without full mental or industrial occupation: And provided further, that the trustees, in the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Act, shall not create any liability or indebtedness in excess of the funds in the hands of the treasurer of the University at the time of creating such liability or indebtedness, and which may be specially and properly applied to the payment of the same. Any lease to the trustees of lands, buildings or facilities which will support scientific research and development in such areas as high technology, super computing, microelectronics, biotechnology, robotics, physics and engineering shall be for a term not to exceed 18 years, and may grant to the trustees the option to purchase the lands, buildings or facilities. The lease shall recite that it is subject to termination and cancellation in any year for which the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation to pay the rent payable under the terms of the lease.

Leases for the purposes described herein exceeding 5 years shall have the approval of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

The Board of Trustees may, directly or in cooperation with other institutions of higher education, acquire by purchase or lease or otherwise, and construct, enlarge, improve, equip, complete, operate, control and manage medical research and high technology parks, together with the necessary lands, buildings, facilities, equipment and personal property therefor, to encourage and facilitate (a) the location and development of business and industry in the State of Illinois, and (b) the increased application and development of technology and (c) the improvement and development of the State's economy. The Board of Trustees may lease to nonprofit corporations all or any part of the land, buildings, facilities, equipment or other property included in a medical research and high technology park upon such terms and conditions as the University of Illinois may deem advisable and enter into any contract or agreement with such nonprofit corporations as may be necessary or suitable for the construction, financing, operation and maintenance and management of any such park; and may lease to any person, firm, partnership or corporation, either public or private, any part or all of the land, building, facilities, equipment or other property of such park for such purposes and upon such rentals, terms and conditions as the University may deem advisable; and may finance all or part of the cost of any such park, including the purchase, lease, construction, reconstruction, improvement, remodeling, addition to, and extension and maintenance of all or part of such high technology park, and all equipment and furnishings, by legislative appropriations, government grants, contracts, private gifts, loans, receipts from the operation of such high technology park, rentals and similar receipts; and may make its other facilities and services available to tenants or other occupants of any such park at rates which are reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees shall have power (a) to purchase real property and easements, and (b) to acquire real property and easements in the manner provided by law for the exercise of the right of eminent domain, and in the event negotiations for the acquisition of real property or easements for making any improvement which the Trustees are authorized to make shall have proven unsuccessful and the Trustees shall have by resolution adopted a schedule or plan of operation for the execution of the project and therein made a finding that it is necessary to take such property or easements immediately or at some specified later date in order to comply with the schedule, the Trustees may acquire such property or easements in the same manner provided in Article 20 of the Eminent Domain Act (quick-take procedure) Sections 7-103 through 7-112 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The Board of Trustees also shall have power to agree with the State's Attorney of the county in which any properties of the Board are located to pay for services rendered by the various taxing districts for the years 1944 through 1949 and to pay annually for services rendered thereafter by such district such sums as may be determined by the Board upon properties used solely for income producing purposes, title to which is held by said Board of Trustees, upon properties leased to members of the staff of the University of Illinois, title to which is held in trust for said Board of Trustees and upon properties leased to for-profit entities the title to which properties is held by the Board of Trustees. A certified copy of any such agreement made with the State's Attorney shall be filed with the County Clerk and such sums shall be distributed to the respective taxing districts by the County Collector in such proportions that each taxing district will receive therefrom such proportion as the tax rate of such taxing district bears to the total tax rate that would be levied against such properties if they were not exempt from taxation under the Property Tax Code.

The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, subject to the applicable civil service law, may appoint persons to be members of the University of Illinois Police Department. Members of the Police Department shall be peace officers and as such have all powers possessed by policemen in cities, and sheriffs, including the power to make arrests on view or warrants of violations of state statutes and city or county ordinances, except that they may exercise such powers only in counties wherein the University and any of its branches or properties are located when such is required for the protection of university properties and interests, and its students and personnel, and otherwise, within such counties, when requested by appropriate state or local law enforcement officials; provided, however, that such officer shall have no power to serve and execute civil processes.

The Board of Trustees must authorize to each member of the University of Illinois Police Department and to any other employee of the University of Illinois exercising the powers of a peace officer a distinct badge that, on its face, (i) clearly states that the badge is authorized by the University of Illinois and (ii) contains a unique identifying number. No other badge shall be authorized by the University of Illinois. Nothing in this paragraph prohibits the Board of Trustees from issuing shields or other distinctive identification to employees not exercising the powers of a peace officer if the Board of Trustees determines that a shield or distinctive identification is needed by the employee to carry out his or her responsibilities.

The Board of Trustees may own, operate, or govern, by or through the College of Medicine at Peoria, a managed care community network established under subsection (b) of Section 5-11 of the Illinois Public Aid Code.

The powers of the trustees as herein designated are subject to the provisions of "An Act creating a Board of Higher Education, defining its powers and duties, making an appropriation therefor, and repealing an Act herein named", approved August 22, 1961, as amended.

The Board of Trustees shall have the authority to adopt all administrative rules which may be necessary for the effective administration, enforcement and regulation of all matters for which the Board has jurisdiction or responsibility.

(b) To assist in the provision of buildings and facilities beneficial to, useful for, or supportive of University purposes, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois may exercise the following powers with regard to the area located on or adjacent to the University of Illinois at Chicago campus and bounded as follows: on the West by Morgan Street; on the North by Roosevelt Road; on the East by Union Street; and on the South by 16th Street, in the City of Chicago:

(1) Acquire any interests in land, buildings, or facilities by purchase, including installments payable over a period allowed by law, by lease over a term of such duration as the Board of Trustees shall determine, or by exercise of the power of eminent domain;

(2) Sub-lease or contract to purchase through installments all or any portion of buildings or facilities for such duration and on such terms as the Board of Trustees shall determine, including a term that exceeds 5 years, provided that each such lease or purchase contract shall be and shall recite that it is subject to termination and cancellation in any year for which the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation to pay the rent or purchase installments payable under the terms of such lease or purchase contract; and

(3) Sell property without compliance with the State Property Control Act and retain proceeds in the University Treasury in a special, separate development fund account which the Auditor General shall examine to assure compliance with this Act.

Any buildings or facilities to be developed on the land shall be buildings or facilities that, in the determination of the Board of Trustees, in whole or in part: (i) are for use by the University; or (ii) otherwise advance the interests of the University, including, by way of example, residential facilities for University staff and students and commercial facilities which provide services needed by the University community. Revenues from the development fund account may be withdrawn by the University for the purpose of demolition and the processes associated with demolition; routine land and property acquisition; extension of utilities; streetscape work; landscape work; surface and structure parking; sidewalks, recreational paths, and street construction; and lease and lease purchase arrangements and the professional services associated with the planning and development of the area. Moneys from the development fund account used for any other purpose must be deposited into and appropriated from the General Revenue Fund. Buildings or facilities leased to an entity or person other than the University shall not be subject to any limitations applicable to a State supported college or university under any law. All development on the land and all use of any buildings or facilities shall be subject to the control and approval of the Board of Trustees.

(310 ILCS 10/9) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 9)

Sec. 9. Whenever it shall be deemed necessary by an Authority in connection with the exercise of its powers herein conferred to take or acquire the fee of any real property in the area of operation or any interest therein or right with respect thereto, such Authority may acquire the same directly or through its agent or agents from the owner or owners thereof or may acquire the same by the exercise of eminent domain in the manner provided by the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended.

If any of such property is devoted to a public use it may nevertheless be acquired, provided that no property belonging to a government may be acquired without its consent and that no property belonging to a corporation subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission may be acquired without the approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission.

The power of eminent domain shall apply not only to improved or unimproved property which may be acquired for or as an incident to the development or operation of a project or projects, but also to: (a) any improved or unimproved property the acquisition of which is necessary or appropriate for the rehabilitation or redevelopment of any blighted or slum area, or (b) any improved or unimproved property which the Authority may require to carry out the provisions of this Act. Such power may be exercised by the Housing Authority on its own initiative or as an agent of the city, village, incorporated town, county or counties, or any government, or for the purpose of sale or lease to: (a) a housing corporation operating under "An Act in relation to housing", approved July 12, 1933, as amended; (b) neighborhood redevelopment corporations operating under the "Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation Law", approved July 9, 1941, as amended; (c) insurance companies operating under Section 125a of the "Illinois Insurance Code", approved June 29, 1937, as amended; (d) non-profit corporations organized for the purpose of constructing, managing and operating housing projects and for the improvement of housing conditions, including the rental or sale of housing units to persons in need thereof; or to any other individual, association or corporation desiring to engage in a development or redevelopment project. No sale or lease shall be made hereunder to any of the aforesaid corporations, associations or individuals unless a plan has been approved by the Authority and the Department for the development or redevelopment of such property and unless the purchaser or lessee furnishes the Authority a bond, with satisfactory sureties, in an amount not less than 10% of the cost of such development or redevelopment, conditioned on the completion of such development or redevelopment in accordance with the approved plan; provided that the requirement of the bond may be waived by the Department if it is satisfied of the financial ability of the purchaser or lessee to complete such development or redevelopment in accordance with the approved plan. To further assure that the real property so sold or leased shall be used in accordance with the plan, the Department may require the purchaser or lessee to execute in writing such undertakings as the Department deems necessary to obligate such purchaser or lessee (1) to use the property for the purposes presented in plans; (2) to commence and complete the building of the improvements designated in the plan within the periods of time that the Department fixes as reasonable; and (3) to comply with such other conditions as are necessary to carry out the purpose of this Act. Any such property may be sold pursuant to this section for any legal consideration in an amount to be approved by the Department.

If the area of operation of a housing authority includes a city, village or incorporated town having a population in excess of 500,000 as determined by the last preceding Federal census, no real property or interest in real property shall be acquired in such municipality by the housing authority until such time as the housing authority has advised the governing body of such municipality of the description of the real property, or interest therein, proposed to be acquired, and the governing body of the municipality has approved the acquisition thereof by the housing authority.

A "blighted or slum area" means any area of not less, in the aggregate, than one acre, excepting that in any municipality having a population in excess of 500,000, as determined by the last preceding Federal census, a "blighted or slum area" means any area of not less in the aggregate of2 acres which area, in either case, has been designated by municipal ordinance or by the Authority as an integrated project for rehabilitation, development or redevelopment, where (a) buildings or improvements, by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light or sanitary facilities, excessive land coverage, deleterious land use or layout or any combination of these factors, are a detriment to public safety, health or morals, or welfare, or (b) there exists platted land which is predominantly open and which, because of obsolete platting, diversity of ownership, deterioration of structures or of site improvements, or otherwise substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community and which is to be developed for predominantly residential uses, or (c) there exists open unplatted land necessary for sound community growth which is to be developed for predominantly residential uses, or (d) parcels of land remain undeveloped because of improper platting, delinquent taxes or special assessments, scattered or uncertain ownerships, clouds on title, artificial values due to excessive utility costs, or any other impediment to the use of such area for predominantly residential uses; provided, that if in any city, village or incorporated town there exists a land clearance commission, created under the "Blighted Areas Redevelopment Act of 1947", having the same area of operation as a housing authority created in and for any such municipality, such housing authority shall have no power to acquire land of the character described in sub-paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of the definition of "blighted or slum area", in this paragraph for the purpose of development or redevelopment by private enterprise.

The Housing Authority shall have power to hold or use any such property for uses authorized by this Act, or to sell, lease or exchange such property as is not required for such uses by the Authority. In case of sale or lease to other than a public corporation or public agency, notice shall be given and bids shall be received in the manner provided by Section 11-76-2 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as amended, and bids may be accepted by vote of three of the five Commissioners of the Authority; provided, however, that such requirement of notice and bidding shall not apply to a sale or lease to any individual, association or corporation described in the preceding paragraph; nor to a sale or lease of an individual dwelling unit in a project, to be used by the purchaser as a dwelling for his family; nor to a sale or lease of a project or part thereof to an association to be so used by its members. In case of exchange of property for property privately owned, three disinterested appraisers shall be appointed to appraise the value of the property to be exchanged, and such exchange shall not be made unless the property to be received by the Authority is equal or greater in value than the property to be exchanged therefor, or if less than such value, that the difference shall be paid in money.

Condemnation proceedings instituted by any such authority shall be in all respects in the manner provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended.

In addition to the foregoing, and for the purpose of facilitating the development and construction of housing, housing authorities may, with the approval of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs, enter into contracts and agreements for the sale or lease of real property acquired by the Authority through the use of the grant hereunder, and may sell or lease such property to (1) housing corporations operating under "An Act in relation to housing," approved July 12, 1933, as amended; (2) neighborhood redevelopment corporations operating under the "Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation Law," approved July 9, 1941; (3) insurance companies operating under Article VIII of the Illinois Insurance Code; (4) non-profit corporations organized for the purpose of constructing, managing and operating housing projects and the improvement of housing conditions, including the sale or rental of housing units to persons in need thereof; or (5) to any other individual, association or corporation, including bona fide housing cooperatives, desiring to engage in a development or redevelopment project. The term "corporation" as used in this section, means a corporation organized under the laws of this or any other state of the United States, or of any country, which may legally make investments in this State of the character herein prescribed, including foreign and alien insurance companies as defined in Section 2 of the "Illinois Insurance Code." No sale or lease shall be made hereunder to any of the aforesaid corporations, associations or individuals unless a plan approved by the Authority has been presented by the purchaser or lessee for the development or redevelopment of such property, together with a bond, with satisfactory sureties, of not less than 10% of the cost of such development or redevelopment, conditioned upon the completion of such development or redevelopment; provided that the requirement of the bond may be waived by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs if it is satisfied of the financial ability of the purchaser or lessee to complete such development or redevelopment in accordance with the presented plan. To further assure that the real property so sold or leased shall be used in accordance with the plan, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs may require the purchaser or lessee to execute in writing such undertakings as the Department deems necessary to obligate such purchaser or lessee (1) to use the property for the purposes presented in the plan; (2) to commence and complete the building of the improvements designated in the plan within the periods of time that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs fixes as reasonable, and (3) to comply with such other conditions as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act. Any such property may be sold pursuant to this section for any legal consideration in an amount to be approved by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs. Subject to the approval of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Community Affairs, a housing authority may pay to any non-profit corporation of the character described in this section from grants made available from state funds, such sum of money which, when added to the value of the land so sold or leased to such non-profit corporation and the value of other assets of such non-profit corporation available for use in the project, will enable such non-profit corporation to obtain Federal Housing Administration insured construction mortgages. Any such authority may also sell, transfer, convey or assign to any such non-profit corporation any personal property, including building materials and supplies, as it deems necessary to facilitate the completion of the development or redevelopment by such non-profit corporation.

If the area of operation of a housing authority includes a city, village or incorporated town having a population in excess of 500,000, as determined by the last preceding Federal Census, no real property or interest in real property shall be acquired in such municipality by the housing authority until such time as the housing authority has advised the governing body of such municipality of the description of the real property, or interest therein, proposed to be acquired, and the governing body of the municipality has approved the acquisition thereof by the housing authority.

Whenever, in the judgment of the Director of Nuclear Safety, it is necessary to relocate existing facilities for the construction, operation, closure or long-term care of a facility for the safe and secure disposal of low-level radioactive waste, the cost of relocating such existing facilities may be deemed a part of the disposal facility land acquisition and the Department of Nuclear Safety may, on behalf of the State, pay such costs. Existing facilities include public utilities, commercial or industrial facilities, residential buildings, and such other public or privately owned buildings as the Director of Nuclear Safety deems necessary for relocation. The Department of Nuclear Safety is authorized to operate a relocation program, and to pay such costs of relocation as are provided in the federal "Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act", Public Law 91-646. The Director of Nuclear Safety is authorized to exceed the maximum payments provided pursuant to the federal "Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act" if necessary to assure the provision of decent, safe, and sanitary housing, or to secure a suitable alternate location. Payments issued under this Section shall be made from the Low-level Radioactive Waste Facility Development and Operation Fund established by the Illinois Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Act.

However, the foregoing shall not be deemed to impair or affect the rights, privileges and immunities set forth in the following paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e):

(a) When a deposit in any bank or trust company transacting business in this State has been made or shall hereafter be made in the names of 2 or more persons payable to them when the account is opened or thereafter, the deposit or any part thereof or any interest or dividend thereon may be paid to any one of those persons whether the other or others be living or not, and when an agreement permitting such payment is signed by all those persons at the time the account is opened or thereafter the receipt or acquittance of the person so paid shall be valid and sufficient discharge from all parties to the bank for any payments so made.

(b) When shares of stock, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness or of interest are or have been issued or registered by any corporation, association or other entity in the names of 2 or more persons as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the corporation, association or other entity and their respective transfer agents may, upon the death of any one of the registered owners, transfer those shares of stock, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness or of interest to or upon the order of the survivor or survivors of the registered owners, without inquiry into the existence, validity or effect of any will or other instrument in writing or the right of the survivor or survivors to receive the property, and without liability to any other person who might claim an interest in or a right to receive all or a portion of the property so transferred.

(c) When shares of stock, bonds, or other evidences of indebtedness or of interest are or have been issued in the joint names of 2 or more persons or their survivors by corporations, including state chartered savings and loan associations, federal savings and loan associations, and state and federal credit unions, authorized to do business in this State, all payments on account thereof made then or thereafter, redemption, repurchase or withdrawal value or price, accumulations thereon, credits to, profits, dividends, or other rights thereon or accruing thereto may be paid or delivered in whole or in part to any of those persons whether the other person or persons be living or not, and when an agreement permitting such payment or delivery is signed by all those persons at the time when the shares of stock, bonds or evidences of indebtedness or of interest were issued or thereafter, the payment or delivery to any such person, or a receipt or acquittance signed by any such person, to whom any such payment or any such delivery of rights is made, shall be a valid and sufficient release and discharge of any such corporation for the payment or delivery so made.

(d) When the title to real property is held in joint tenancy by 2 or more persons or in tenancy by the entirety, and payment of compensation is made to any county treasurer for the taking or damaging of that real property in the manner provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act Article VII of the Code of Civil Procedure, or pursuant to any Act of the General Assembly now or hereafter enacted for the exercise of the sovereign power of eminent domain, the right of survivorship to the title in and to that real property shall be transferred to the money so paid to and in the hands of the county treasurer. However, upon application to the county treasurer holding the money by any joint tenant for his proportionate share thereof, or by any tenant by the entirety for a one-half share thereof, he shall receive the same from the county treasurer without the consent or approval of any other joint tenant, and the person making the application shall have no survivorship rights in the balance remaining in the hands of the county treasurer after deducting therefrom his proportionate share.

(e) When the property owned in joint tenancy is a motor vehicle which is the subject of a title issued by the Secretary of State, the owners shown on the certificate of title shall enjoy the benefits of right of survivorship unless they elect otherwise. A certificate of title which shows more than one name as owner shall give rise to a presumption of ownership in joint tenancy with right of survivorship.

Furthermore, any non-transferable United States Savings Bond, debenture, note or other obligation of the United States of America therein named shall, upon the death of the designated person, if the bond or other obligation is now or hereafter issued made payable to a designated person and upon his death to another person then outstanding, become the property of and be payable to the other person therein named. If any such non-transferable bond, debenture, note or other obligation of the United States of America be made payable to 2 persons, in the alternative, the bond or other obligation shall, upon the death of either person, if the bond or other obligation is then outstanding, become the property of and be payable to the survivor of them.
