    AN ACT in relation to plats.

    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
changing Section 11-12-12 as follows:

    (65 ILCS 5/11-12-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-12-12)
    Sec.  11-12-12.  No  map  or  plat  of  any   subdivision
presented  for record affecting land (1) within the corporate
limits of any municipality which has heretofore  adopted,  or
shall  hereafter adopt an ordinance including an official map
in the manner prescribed in this Division 12, or  (2)  within
contiguous  territory  which  is  not  more  than 1 1/2 miles
beyond the corporate  limits  of  an  adopting  municipality,
shall  be  entitled  to  record  or shall be valid unless the
subdivision  shown  thereon  provides  for  streets,  alleys,
public ways, ways for public service  facilities,  storm  and
flood  water run-off channels and basins, and public grounds,
in  conformity  with  the  applicable  requirements  of   the
ordinances  including  the  official  map;  provided,  that a
certificate  of  approval  by  the   corporate   authorities,
certified   by   the  clerk  of  the  municipality  in  whose
jurisdiction the land is located, or a certified copy  of  an
order  of  the  circuit  court  directing  the  recording  as
provided  in Section 11-12-8, shall be sufficient evidence of
compliance with this section  upon  which  the  recorder  may
accept the plat for recording.
    The  provisions  of this Section do not apply to any plat
for consolidation of 2 or more  contiguous  parcels,  located
within  any territory that is outside of the corporate limits
of a municipality but within a  county  that  has  adopted  a
subdivision  ordinance and that has a population of more than

250,000, into a smaller number of parcels if the sole purpose
of the consolidation is to bring a non-conforming parcel into
conformance with local  zoning  requirements.  The  exemption
created  by  this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly
does not apply to a plat for consolidation  for  an  area  in
excess  of 10 acres or to any consolidation that results in a
plat  of  more  than  10  individual   lots   following   the
consolidation.  If the county receives a request to approve a
plat for consolidation pursuant to this Section,  the  county
must  notify all municipalities located within 1 1/2 miles of
the subject property  within  10  days  after  receiving  the
request.
