17        (620 ILCS 5/34b new)
18        Sec. 34b.  Airport land loan revolving fund.

20    owners, outside of the counties of Lake,  Cook,  Will,  Kane,
 
                            -2-              LRB9100535KScsam
 1    and  DuPage, for the purchase of any real estate interests as
 2    may be  needed  for  essential  airport  purposes,  including
 3    future  needs.   The  loans are payable from the Airport Land
 4    Loan  Revolving  Fund,   subject   to   appropriation.    All
 5    repayments  of loans made pursuant to this Section, including
 6    interest thereon and penalties, shall  be  deposited  in  the
 7    Airport  Land  Loan  Revolving  Fund.   The  Treasurer  shall
 8    deposit  all investment earnings arising from balances in the
 9    Airport Land Loan Revolving Fund in that Fund.
10        (b)  All loans  under  this  Section  shall  be  made  by
11    contract between the Department and the public airport owner,
12    which contract shall include the following provisions:
13             (1)  The  annual rate of interest shall be 2 percent
14        below the Prime Rate charged by banks,  as  published  by
15        the Federal Reserve, in effect at the time the Department
16        approves  the  loan,  but  in  no event shall less than 2
17        percent be charged.
18             (2)  The term of any  loan  shall  not  exceed  five
19        years, but it may be for less by mutual agreement.
20             (3)  Loan  payments  shall  be  scheduled  in  equal
21        amounts for the periods determined under paragraph (4) of
22        this  Section.   The loan payments shall be calculated so
23        that the loan is completely  repaid,  with  interest,  on
24        outstanding  balances,  by the end of the term determined
25        under paragraph (2) of this Section.  There shall  be  no
26        penalty for early payment ahead of the payment schedule.
27             (4)  The  period  of  loan payments shall be annual,
28        unless by mutual agreement a period of less than one year
29        is chosen.
30             (5)  The  loan  shall  be  secured  with  the   land
31        purchased,  in  whole  or  in  part,  with  the  loan and
32        considered as collateral.  The public airport owner shall
33        assign a first priority interest in the property  to  the
34        State.
 
                            -3-              LRB9100535KScsam
 1             (6)  If  the loan payment is not made within 15 days
 2        after the scheduled date determined under  paragraph  (3)
 3        of this Section, a penalty of 10% of the payment shall be
 4        assessed.  If 30 days after the scheduled payment date no
 5        payment  has  been received, the loan shall be considered
 6        in default.
 7             (7)  As soon as a loan is considered in default, the
 8        Department shall notify  the  public  airport  owner  and
 9        attempt to enter into a renegotiation of the loan payment
10        amounts  and  schedule  determined under paragraph (3) of
11        this Section.  In no case shall the term of the  loan  be
12        extended   beyond   the  initial  term  determined  under
13        paragraph (2) of this Section;  nor  shall  the  interest
14        rate  be  lowered  nor  any  interest  be forgiven.  If a
15        renegotiation of loan payment  amounts  and  schedule  is
16        obtained  to the Department's satisfaction within 30 days
17        of notification of default, then the new payment schedule
18        shall replace the one determined by paragraph (3) of this
19        Section and shall be used to measure compliance with  the
20        loan  for  purposes  of  default.   If  after  30 days of
21        notification of default the Department has not obtained a
22        renegotiation to its satisfaction, the  Department  shall
23        declare the loan balance due and payable immediately.  If
24        the  public  airport  owner  cannot  immediately  pay the
25        balance of the loan,  the  Department  shall  proceed  to
26        foreclose.
27        (c)  The  Airport  Land Loan Resolving Fund is created in
28    the State Treasury.

29        Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect  upon
30    becoming law.".
