This Act shall be deemed to be a general law, complete in itself and
distinct and separate from any prior law. The provisions of this Act shall
be liberally construed. Nothing contained in this Act shall be held to
constitute a contract between the State and any municipal corporation
organized hereunder, or to prevent the alteration, amendment or repeal of
this Act, or of any amendment thereof, at any time hereafter. The
provisions of this Act shall not be considered as impairing, altering,
modifying, repealing or superseding any of the jurisdiction or powers of
the Illinois Commerce Commission. Nothing in this Act or done under its
authority shall restrict, limit or interfere with the use of the land and
facilities of a common carrier and the space above such land and facilities
or the right to use such land and such facilities in the business of such
common carrier, without approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission and
without the payment of just compensation to any such common carrier for
damages resulting from any such restriction, limitation or interference.
