AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 440

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 440 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing Section 6-130 as follows:

(605 ILCS 5/6-130) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-130)

Sec. 6-130. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, no township road district may continue in existence if the roads forming a part of the district do not exceed a total of 15 4 miles in length. For purposes of this Section, the roads forming a part of a township road district include those roads maintained by the district, regardless of whether or not those roads are owned by the township. On the first Tuesday in April of 2017, or of any subsequent year next succeeding the reduction of a township road system to a total mileage of 15 miles or less, each such township road district shall, by operation of law, be abolished. On the first Tuesday in April of 1975, or of any subsequent year next succeeding the reduction of a township road system to a total mileage of 4 miles or less, each such township road district shall, by operation of law, be abolished. The roads comprising that district at that time shall thereafter be administered by the township board of trustees by contracting with the county, a municipality or a private contractor. The township board of trustees shall assume all taxing authority of a township road district abolished under this Section.
