Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing |
Section 5-412 as follows:
|
(605 ILCS 5/5-412) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-412)
|
Sec. 5-412.
The county board, of each county, may contract |
with persons
growing row crops on land adjacent to county |
highways to buy standing strips
of such crops to remain in |
place to act as snow breaks along such highways
in those places |
where experience shows that drifting snow has been an
|
obstruction to traffic. The contract price to be paid by the |
county board in any such
case shall be the higher of the market |
price in the local area of
such crop at the time of contracting |
or the current Commodity Credit
Corporation target price. An |
additional sum of money equal to at least 10% of the
contract |
price may be paid to the grower as an inconvenience fee.
