Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 22.2. Provision of rail and related transportation services.

The Rail Authority shall also have the power to provide non-rail transportation services within the Counties, which may consist of shuttle bus service to or from an airport, needed storage facilities, and facilities to load, unload, or transfer freight from one mode of transportation to another such mode related to rail or highway transportation and any needed access roads for that  service, as the Board of Directors shall determine are appropriate to advance economic development in the Counties.  All property or facilities necessary or useful for such related transportation or economic development services are referred to in this Act as "related facilities".  The Authority, in providing rail related facilities, may not operate or perform as a rail carrier.
