MODERATE
The bill was amended to change its subject from the Sanitary District of Decatur and Bloomington Normal Water Reclamation Districts to the Kaskaskia Regional Port District. This change expands the district's authority to include issuing permits for port structures, managing navigable waters, operating terminals and marinas, and exercising police powers over its property.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted from regulating wastewater treatment agreements to establishing and empowering a regional port district with broad powers over port infrastructure, waterway management, and related commercial facilities.
SCOPE
The act was renamed from the Sanitary District Act to the Kaskaskia Regional Port District Act, changing the entity the law governs.
New sections were added to create the Kaskaskia Regional Port District as a political subdivision covering specific townships in Monroe, Randolph, and St. Clair counties.
Provisions regarding private agreements for wastewater treatment and the acquisition of real property for water reclamation were removed.
ENFORCEMENT
The district was granted new powers to issue permits for wharves and piers, remove obstructions from waterways, and police its physical property.
FISCAL
The district received the authority to build and operate terminals and marinas, and to charge fees to cover expenses and service debt.
