Provides that, if a majority of the votes of the township are cast in favor of the proposition to discontinue and abolish the township organization, then the township organization in that township shall cease, and all the rights, powers, duties, assets, property, liabilities, obligations, and responsibilities of the township shall by operation of law vest in and be assumed by the city council or board of trustees of the municipality. Provides that city council or board of trustees of the municipality shall, by ordinance, delegate the duties and responsibilities of a township officer to any elected or appointed official of that municipality or to any employee of that municipality. Provides that the township officers of any township that is discontinued shall continue as officers of that township until the expiration of the respective terms for which they were elected or appointed. Amends the Property Tax Code, the Public Health District Act, the Illinois Public Aid Code, and the Illinois Highway Code to provide that, for a township organization that has been discontinued and has had its duties, powers, and responsibilities transferred to a coterminous municipality, the municipality shall assume the duties of the township organization or officer of the township organization, as appropriate, exercised under those Acts.
