(620 ILCS 50/68) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 172)
Sec. 68.
When ten percent of the voters of each of two adjoining counties,
file a petition with the Department requesting that such counties be joined
for the purposes of this Act, the Department shall immediately notify the
county clerks of such counties that such a petition has been filed, and if
neither county board has elected a county airport commission as in this Act
provided, no further action shall be taken by either county board in the
creation of a Commission, until notified by the Department that such
petition is insufficient or that the joining of the two counties will not
be in the public interest. The signatures of the voters of one county shall
not be intermingled with the signatures of the voters of the county to
which it is to be joined.
