TORT IMMUN-SUPERVISE ACTIVITY                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Local Governmental  and  Governmental  Employees  Tort      
   Immunity Act.   Makes the following  changes in provisions exempting a      
   local  public  entity  and  its employees from liability for an injury      
   caused  by a failure to supervise an activity or  the  use  of  public      
   property:  (i)  creates  an  exception for willful and  wanton conduct      
   proximately  causing  an  injury;  (ii)  deletes   language   relating      
   specifically  to  areas  used  for   swimming; and (iii) provides that      
   neither a local public entity nor a  public  employee  supervising  an      
   activity  on or the use of any public property is liable for an injury      
   unless the local public entity or public employee is guilty of willful      
   and  wanton  conduct  proximately  causing  the   injury.    Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Provides that nothing in the amendatory Act shall create any  new      
   or  independent  duty to supervise any activity on public property not      
   otherwise  imposed  by  law.  Provides  that   the   amended   Section      
   incorporates  both  the  immunities  and defenses defined in the Local      
   Governmental and Governmental Employees  Tort  Immunity  Act  and  the      
   definition  of  willful  and  wanton conduct as set forth in the Local      
   Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act.                  
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 4.                                                
        Deletes everything.  Makes a stylistic change.
