    AN ACT concerning finance.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  


 
    Section 5. The Park and Recreational Facility Construction 
Act of 2009 is amended  by changing Section 10-20 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 764/10-20)
    Sec. 10-20. Priorities for projects. In considering 
applications for grants under this Act, the Department shall 
give priority to projects that will provide the greatest 
benefit to the residents of the  State, based upon criteria 
established by the Department in rules promulgated pursuant to 
this Act which reflect the useful life of existing facilities 
and improvements, address public health and safety needs, 
correct accessibility deficiencies, and reflect outdoor 
recreation needs and priorities, including handicap-accessible 
playground equipment, such as ramped, ground-level play 
features, accessible swings, wheelchair accessible tables, 
adjustable equipment, universally accessible swings, and 
transfer platforms, identified through the Department's 
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 
Program. The Department shall prioritize projects that create 
parks universally designed to meet everyone's needs, ages, and 
mobility and where all equipment, and the park itself, is 
handicap-accessible over projects that would create parks 
where only some equipment, or only the park itself, is 
handicap-accessible.
