|
| 7 |
| Sec. 3. There is hereby created an Authority to be known as |

| constituted an
instrumentality and an administrative agency of |
| 10 |
| the State of Illinois.
The said Authority shall consist of 11 |
| 11 |
| directors; the Governor and the
Secretary of the Department of |
| 12 |
| Transportation, ex officio, and 9
directors appointed by the |

Senate, from the |

| 22 |
| section that the Governor's appointments shall
be made with due |
| 23 |
| consideration to the location of proposed toll highway
routes |
| 24 |
| so that maximum geographic representation from the areas served
|
| 25 |
| by said toll highway routes may be accomplished insofar as |
| 26 |
| practicable.
The said Authority shall have the power to |
| 27 |
| contract and be contracted

interest therein including |
| 29 |
