    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Public Building Commission Act is amended by
changing Section 4a as follows:
 
    (50 ILCS 20/4a)  (from Ch. 85, par. 1034a)
    Sec. 4a. A Public Building Commission may be created for
the limited purpose of constructing, acquiring, enlarging,
improving, repairing or replacing a specific public
improvement, building or facility or a special type or class of
public improvements, buildings or facilities. The provisions
of Section 4 of this Act shall apply to the creation of a
Public Building Commission under this Section, except that the
resolution adopted by the municipality or county board and the
proposition shall specify the limited purpose for which such
Public Building Commission is to be created. The provisions of
Section 4 authorizing any municipal corporation any part of
whose area of jurisdiction lies within the territorial limits
of that county seat to join in the organization of the Public
Building Commission in the manner set forth in that Section
shall not be applicable to a Public Building Commission created
under this Section. The county board of any county that has
created a public building commission for a limited and specific
purpose may expand that purpose by resolution.
    The purpose of a public building commission created by the
county board of any county may not be expanded until the
question of expanding the purpose of the public building
commission has been submitted to the electors of the county at
a regular election and approved by a majority of the electors
voting on the question. The county board must certify the
question to the proper election authority, which must submit
the question at an election in accordance with the Election
Code.
    The election authority must submit the question in
substantially the following form:
        Shall the county board be authorized to expand the
    purpose of the (insert name of public building commission)
    to include (insert the purpose or purposes)?
    The election authority must record the votes as "Yes" or
"No".
    If a majority of the electors voting on the question vote
in the affirmative, the county board may thereafter expand the
purpose of the public building commission.
