    (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2013)
    Sec. 5. Sale of golf course land.
    (a) Any board of park commissioners having the control or 
supervision of any parcel of land that is used for golf course 
purposes or parcel of land that is adjacent to such land used 
for golf course purposes or separated from it by a river in a 
non-home rule county with a population greater than 500,000 but 
less than 1,000,000,  and having any piece or parcel of that 
land not exceeding 8 acres in area that is no longer needed or 
deemed necessary or useful for the purpose of that golf course, 
may apply to the circuit court of the county in which the piece 
or parcel of land is situated by petition in writing for leave 
to sell that parcel.   Notice of such application shall be given 
by the board of park commissioners in some newspaper published 
in the county at least 10 days before the day named therein 
stating when the application will be made. All persons 
interested may appear before the circuit court either in person 
or by attorney when the application is made and object to the 
granting of the application. After hearing all persons 
interested, if the court deems the granting of the application 
to be for the public interest, it shall direct that the 
property mentioned in the application, or any part thereof, be 
sold and conveyed by the board of park commissioners upon such 
terms and conditions as the court may think proper.
    (b) This Section is repealed on December 31, 2018 2013.
