Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mosquito Abatement District Act. Provides that the board of trustees of a mosquito abatement district shall have power to take all necessary or proper steps for the surveillance, monitoring, and extermination of mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and vectors within the district (rather than for the extermination of mosquitoes, files and other insects within the district), and, subject to the paramount control of the municipal or other public authorities, to abate as nuisances all stagnant pools of water and other breeding places for mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and vectors (rather than mosquitoes and other insects) within the district. Provides that a district may annex territory by ordinance whenever a mosquito abatement district operating within territory predominantly in a municipality or 2 or more municipalities that would become coterminous or nearly coterminous with the municipality or municipalities upon the annexation of additional territory within the municipality or municipalities (rather than whenever a mosquito abatement district contains over 90% of territory of a specific city or village, the mosquito abatement district may annex additional adjacent and contiguous territory within that city or village). Requires the ordinance to describe the territory annexed together with an accurate map of the annexed territory and that, if the ordinance becomes effective 30 days after the date of publication or is approved by referendum, a copy of the ordinance shall be filed in the offices of the county clerk and recorder of each county in which the annexation takes place. Removes a prohibition to annexing territory until more than one year after territory has first been included in a municipality unless the territory annexed is 50 acres or less. Makes other changes.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
70 ILCS 1005/8from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 81

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. In provisions about the powers of the board of trustees of a mosquito abatement district, provides that the board has powers relating to the surveillance and monitoring of ticks and the surveillance, monitoring, and extermination of mosquitoes and rats (rather than, in the introduced bill, the surveillance, monitoring, and extermination of mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and vectors). Further amends the Mosquito Abatement District Act. Provides that the board of trustees of a mosquito abatement district, or its designee, for the limited purposes of cooperation with the Department of Public Health, shall conduct routine surveillance of Department-identified vectors (rather than mosquitoes) to detect the presence of vector-borne diseases (rather than mosquito-borne diseases) of public health significance. Limits the scope of the surveillance, and requires a mosquito abatement district, or its designee, to notify a forest preserve district or conservation district prior to or within 48 hours after accessing the respective forest preserve district's or conservation district's land for surveillance required by the Department. Requires the district to report to the Department of Public Health, in addition to the local certified public health department, the results of any positive mosquito, tick, or vector (rather than mosquito) samples infected with arboviral or bacterial infections (rather than arboviral infections). Requires the report to include the number of vectors (rather than mosquitoes) collected in the trapping device. Expands an illustrative list of arboviral or bacterial infections. Modifies the new definition of "vector" in the introduced bill and moves the definition into the provisions concerning surveillance of vectors.
