Provides a definition for "treatment". Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of a municipality may provide for both the treatment and removal of elm trees infected with Dutch elm disease or ash trees infected with the emerald ash borer on private property if the property owners refuse, after receiving notice, to remove or treat the trees on their property.
