Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-95-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-95-12)
Sec. 11-95-12.
Whenever a Park District contains, within the boundaries of the
district, the greater portion of the area of a city, village or
incorporated town, and the population of the city, village or
incorporated town constitutes a majority of the population of the Park
District, and the city, village or incorporated town levies and collects
a tax for recreation purposes, the functions of the Recreation
Commission may be merged with, and assumed by, the Park District in the
manner following:
The Park Commissioners shall adopt an ordinance by a vote of not less
than 2/3 of the commissioners. The ordinance shall set forth the intent
of the Park District to assume the planning, establishing and
maintaining of the municipal recreation program within the boundaries of
the Park District, and to levy and collect a tax for such purposes, at a
rate not to exceed that levied by the city, village or incorporated
town, which rate shall not exceed .09%, or the rate limit in effect on
July 1, 1967, whichever is greater, of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue of all taxable
property in such district. The Secretary of the Park District shall mail
a certified copy of the ordinance to the city, village or incorporated
town. If the governing board of the city, village or incorporated town
sees fit, they may adopt an ordinance, by a vote of not less than 2/3 of
its members. This ordinance shall state that the city, village or
incorporated town relinquishes any and all control and management of the
planning, establishing and maintaining of the municipal recreation
program within its boundaries to the Park District together with
relinquishing its tax levy for recreation purposes.
Six months from the date of adoption of such an ordinance by the
city, village or incorporated town, the Park District shall assume the
functions previously performed by the city, village or incorporated town
through its recreation commission, or other board or commission
designated by the city, village or incorporated town. Thereafter the
Park District may levy and collect a tax of not to exceed that rate
previously levied by the city, village or incorporated town for
recreation purposes, but the rate of the tax may not exceed .05%, or the
rate limit in effect on July 1, 1967, whichever is greater, of the value
as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
of all taxable property in the district. The tax funds shall be used for
the purpose of planning, establishing and maintaining recreation
programs, such programs to include playgrounds, community and recreation
centers. The tax shall be levied and collected in like manner as the
general taxes for the District. The foregoing limitations upon tax rates
may be increased or decreased under the referendum provisions of the
General Revenue Law of the State of Illinois. The tax to be levied under
this Section shall be in addition to all other taxes authorized by law
to be levied and collected in such district and shall not be included
within any limitation of rate contained in this Code or any other law,
but shall be excluded therefrom and be in addition thereto and in excess
thereof.
Six months from the date of adoption of the ordinance by the city,
village or incorporated town, it shall turn over to the Park District
any and all recreation funds and tax monies in its possession on that
date, received by it from the "Recreation Tax". From time to time
thereafter, the city, village or incorporated town shall turn over to
the Park District all such recreation funds and tax monies received from
levies adopted prior to the effective date of the merger. The funds
shall be paid to the treasurer of the Park District and kept in a fund
to be known as the "Recreational Program Fund".

the same property is being taxed for park or recreation purposes by both the
municipality and the park district, then the corporate authorities of the
municipality may adopt an ordinance or resolution to pay all or part of the
park district tax

according to the assessed value as equalized by the board of review and
Department of Revenue. The county treasurer shall then pay the money in the
abatement fund to the park district.

Residents who are eligible to receive replacement windows shall be allowed to choose the color and type of replacement window. For purposes of aiding in the selection of such replacement windows, a showcase and display of available replacement window types shall be established and located at Chicago Midway International Airport. Homes that have been identified by the municipality as having odorous windows or doors are not required to make said request to the municipality. The right to make a claim for replacement and have it considered pursuant to this Section shall not be affected by the fact of odor-related claims made or odor-related products received pursuant to the Residential Sound Insulation Program prior to June 5, 2019 (the effective date of this Section). The municipality shall also perform in-home air quality testing in residences in which windows and doors are replaced under this Section. In order to receive in-home air quality testing, a homeowner must request such testing from the municipality, and the total number of homes tested in any given year shall not exceed 25% of the total number of homes in which windows and doors were replaced under this Section in the prior calendar year. (b) An advisory committee shall be formed, composed of the following: (i) 2 members of the municipality who reside in homes that have received windows or doors pursuant to the Residential Sound Insulation Program and have been identified by the municipality as having odorous windows or doors, appointed by the Secretary of Transportation; (ii) one employee of the Aeronautics Division of the Department of Transportation; (iii) 2 employees of the municipality that implemented the Residential Sound Insulation Program in question; and (iv) 2 members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 2 members appointed by the President of the Senate, one member appointed by the Minority
Leader of the House of Representatives, and one member appointed
by the Minority Leader of the Senate. The advisory committee shall determine by majority vote which homes contain windows or doors that cause offensive odors and thus are eligible for replacement, shall promulgate a list of such homes, and shall develop recommendations as to the order in which homes are to receive window replacement. The recommendations shall include reasonable and objective criteria for determining which windows or doors are odorous, consideration of the date of odor confirmation for prioritization, severity of odor, geography and individual hardship, and shall provide such recommendations to the municipality. The advisory committee shall develop a process in which homeowners can demonstrate extreme hardship. As used in this subsection, "extreme hardship" means: liquid infiltration of the window or door; health and medical condition of the resident; and residents with sensitivities related to smell. At least 10% of the homes receiving a replacement in a year shall be homes that have demonstrated extreme hardship. The advisory committee shall compile a report demonstrating: (i) the number of homes in line to receive a replacement; (ii) the number of homes that received replacement windows or doors, or both; (iii) the number of homes that received financial compensation instead of a replacement; and (iv) the number of homes with confirmed mechanical issues. Until December 31, 2022, the report shall be compiled monthly, after December 31, 2022, the report shall be complied quarterly. The advisory committee shall accept all public questions and furnish a written response within 2 business days. The advisory committee shall comply with the requirements of the Open Meetings Act. The Chicago Department of Aviation shall provide administrative support to the committee. The municipality shall consider the recommendations of the committee but shall retain final decision-making authority over replacement of windows and doors installed under the Residential Sound Insulation Program, and shall comply with all federal, State, and local laws involving procurement. A municipality administering claims pursuant to this Section shall provide to every address identified as having submitted a valid claim under this Section a quarterly report setting forth the municipality's activities undertaken pursuant to this Section for that quarter. However, the municipality shall replace windows and doors pursuant to this Section only if, and to the extent, grants are distributed to, and received by, the municipality from the Sound-Reducing Windows and Doors Replacement Fund for the costs associated with the replacement of sound-reducing windows and doors installed under the Residential Sound Insulation Program pursuant to Section 6z-20.1 of the State Finance Act. In addition, the municipality shall revise its specifications for procurement of windows for the Residential Sound Insulation Program to address potential off-gassing from such windows in future phases of the program. A municipality subject to the Section shall not legislate or otherwise regulate with regard to indoor air quality monitoring, laboratory analysis or replacement requirements, except as provided in this Section, but the foregoing restriction shall not limit said municipality's taxing power. (c) A home rule unit may not regulate indoor air quality monitoring and laboratory analysis, and related mitigation and mitigation plans, in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State. (d) This Section shall not be construed to create a private right of action.

Every municipality specified in Section 11-102-1 may from
time to time issue its bonds in anticipation of its revenue from such an
airport or airports or from any buildings, structures, or facilities
thereof or relating thereto to accomplish any of the purposes of this
Division 102 and to refund such bonds. These bonds may be authorized by
ordinance and may be issued in one or more series, may bear such dates,
mature at such time or times, not exceeding 40 years from their respective
dates, bear interest at such rates, not exceeding the maximum rate
authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
making of the contract, payable semi-annually, be in such denominations, be
in such form, either coupon or registered, be executed in such manner, be
payable in such medium of payment, at such places, be subject to such terms
of redemption, with or without premium, and may be made registrable as to
principal or as to both principal and interest, as the ordinance may
provide. These bonds may be issued without submission
thereof to the electors of the municipality for approval. The bonds shall
have all the qualities of negotiable paper under the law merchant and the
negotiable instruments law. The bonds shall be sold at a price, so that the
interest cost of the proceeds thereof shall not exceed
the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract,
payable semi-annually, computed to maturity according to standard tables of
bond values and shall be sold in such manner and at such time as the

officers. No holder of any bond issued under this section shall ever have
the right to compel any exercise of taxing power of the municipality to pay
the bond or the interest thereon. Each bond issued under this section shall
recite in substance that the bond, including the interest thereon, is
payable from the revenue pledged to the payment thereof and that the bond
does not constitute a debt of the municipality issuing the bond within any
statutory or constitutional limitation.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.

(i) fixing procedure by which the terms of any contract with the holders
of the bonds may be amended, the amount of bonds the holders of which must

facilities and prompt payment of the principal of and interest upon the
bonds so authorized. After this ordinance has been adopted it shall be
published once in a newspaper published and having a general circulation in
the municipality and may not thereafter be amended or rescinded except as

Whenever revenue bonds are issued and outstanding under
Sections 11-102-6 and 11-102-7, the entire revenue received from the
operation of the airport or airports or from any building, structures, or
facilities thereof or relating thereto shall be deposited in a separate
fund which shall be used only in paying the principal and interest of these
revenue bonds and reserves therefor and the cost of maintenance, operation
and depreciation of the airport or airports and facilities in such order of

revenue bonds. However, no priority accorded by such an ordinance may be
impaired by a subsequent ordinance authorizing revenue bonds unless
specifically so permitted by a covenant of the kind authorized to be
included in an ordinance by Section 11-102-7. Such revenue in excess of
requirements for payment of principal of and interest upon these bonds and
reserves therefor and for payment of cost of maintenance, operation and
depreciation of the airport or airports and facilities may be used for
rehabilitation of existing airports and facilities, necessary
reconstruction and expansion, construction of new facilities or for
retirement of any outstanding bonds issued for airport purposes. After all
such bonds have been paid, such revenues may be transferred to the general
corporate fund of any such municipality and may be used for the
maintenance, operation, repair and development of such airport or airports
or buildings, structures or facilities thereof or relating thereto or for
any corporate purpose.
