MODERATE
The bill was finalized as an Enrolled version, changing the title from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' to indicate it is ready for the Governor's signature. The most significant substantive change is the expansion of the sections being amended to include Sections 5, 15, 20, and 55, rather than just Section 55. This revision restructures the Joliet Arsenal Development Authority Act by replacing the original abolition clause with a new purpose statement and updating the authority's board composition and appointment rules to include additional members from specific municipalities.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded by incorporating changes to multiple sections (5, 15, 20, and 55) instead of a single section, effectively updating the authority's purpose, creation details, and governance structure.
REQUIREMENT
The list of sections amended was expanded from Section 55 to include Sections 5, 15, 20, and 55, indicating a comprehensive update to the Act's structure.
The board composition requirements were updated to include new appointment provisions for mayors of Romeoville, Lockport, Crest Hill, Rockdale, and Channahon, altering how members are selected and their residency requirements.
TIMELINE
The original provision establishing a 35-year timeline for the Authority's abolition was removed.
DEFINITION
A new Section 5 was added to explicitly state the Act's purpose of facilitating economic development and utilizing former government property along the Illinois Waterway.
