| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by adding |
| 5 | | Section 11-6-7 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-6-7 new) |
| 7 | | Sec. 11-6-7. Annexation; intergovernmental agreement. |
| 8 | | (a) Whenever an unincorporated parcel of land that is |
| 9 | | within the boundaries of a fire protection district is annexed |
| 10 | | into the corporate limits of a municipality with a municipal |
| 11 | | fire department, the municipal fire department and the fire |
| 12 | | protection district may negotiate an intergovernmental |
| 13 | | agreement to allow the fire protection district to have |
| 14 | | jurisdiction over the annexed parcel in such instances when it |
| 15 | | is not economically feasible for the municipal fire department |
| 16 | | to have jurisdiction over the annexed property or when the |
| 17 | | municipal fire department has determined that a hardship exists |
| 18 | | that would compromise the safety and well-being of the annexed |
| 19 | | property. If no agreement is adopted by both the municipality |
| 20 | | and fire protection district, then the automatic transfer of |
| 21 | | jurisdiction from the fire protection district to the |
| 22 | | municipality shall occur upon annexation. |
| 23 | | (b) This Section is repealed 12 months after becoming law, |
