TOLL HWY-PROJECT APPROVAL

Amends the Toll Highway Act. Provides that the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority shall submit proposed route or routes for additional toll highways with an estimate of the cost to the Governor and the county board of any county the proposed additional toll highway would pass through (rather than only the Governor). Provides that if the estimated cost of the proposed additional toll highway exceeds $1,000,000, then the Authority shall also submit the proposal to the General Assembly for approval. Provides that the Authority shall submit preliminary plans regarding a particular toll highway to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the county board of any county the proposed particular toll highway would pass through (rather than only the Governor) for approval before any bonds are issued. Provides that if the tolls on a proposed toll highway can pay the complete costs, then the Authority shall prepare and submit a preliminary plan only to the Governor for approval.
