reconsideration | 3 | | two-thirds of all the members agree by yeas and nays to
pass | 4 | | it, it takes effect notwithstanding the president's refusal to
| 5 | | approve thereof.
| 6 | | It is the policy of this State that all powers granted, | 7 | | either expressly
or by necessary implication, by this Act or | 8 | | any other Illinois statute to
the District may be exercised by | 9 | | the District notwithstanding effects on
competition. It is the | 10 | | intention of the
General Assembly that the "State action | 11 | | exemption" to the application of
federal antitrust statutes be | 12 | | fully available to the District to the extent
its activities | 13 | | are authorized by law as stated herein.
