represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 1. Purpose of this Act; validation. 
    (a) Section 5-1120, relating to juvenile delinquency 
programs, was added to the Counties Code by Public Act 89-203, 
which was held to violate the single subject rule of Article 
IV, Section 8 of the Illinois Constitution in People v. 
Wooters, 188 Ill.2d 500, 722 N.E.2d 1102 (1999).
    (b) It is the purpose of this Act to re-enact the 
provisions of Section 5-1120 and to validate otherwise lawful 
actions taken in reliance on that Section. In this Act, the 
text of the Section is shown without underscoring.  The text 
included in this re-enactment is not intended to control over 
any change to the Section that may be enacted by another Act of 
the 94th General Assembly.
    (c) All otherwise lawful actions taken on or after July 21, 
1995 (the effective date of P.A. 89-203) and before the 
effective date of this Act by any person acting in reliance on 
or pursuant to the provisions of  Section 5-1120 of the Counties 
Code, as contained in Public Act 89-203, including without 
limitation the administration of juvenile delinquency programs 
and the acceptance and expenditure of funds in connection with 
those programs, are hereby validated.

Section 5-1120 as follows:
