    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by adding
Division 15.2 to Article 11 as follows:
 
    (65 ILCS 5/Art. 11 Div. 15.2 heading new)
DIVISION 15.2. ANNEXATION; DRAINAGE DISTRICTS

 
    (65 ILCS 5/11-15.2-1 new)
    Sec. 11-15.2-1. If authorized by an agreement approved by
the court pursuant to notice as required by Section 4-22 of the
Illinois Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/4-22), a municipality and a
drainage district may enter into an implementing agreement to
provide for the automatic detachment of land from the drainage
district when the land is annexed to the municipality. An
implementing agreement shall not be required to comply with the
provisions of Sections 4-19 through 4-24 of the Illinois
Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/4-19 through 605/4-24) and may
authorize the filing of certificates as provided in this
Section.
    Upon the filing of a certificate, executed by a drainage
district in compliance with Section 4-11 of the Illinois
Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/4-11) and by an annexing
municipality, the land described in the certificate shall be
detached from the drainage district and annexed to the annexing
municipality as of the date of filing. The certificate shall be
filed with the drainage district clerk and the county clerk
where the land is located. The legal effect of the filing of a
certificate shall be the same as a court order entered pursuant
to Section 8-20 of the Illinois Drainage Code (70 ILCS
605/8-20).
