Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
20 ILCS 655/9.3 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. Provides that businesses located in an enterprise zone shall be granted access to build facilities to cross a railroad right-of-way owned by a land management company for the purpose of conveyance of grain, aggregate, construction materials, and other commodities over, under, or across that right-of-way, subject to payment of certain fees and costs. Provides that the crossing fee shall be in lieu of any license, permit, application, or any other fee or charges to reimburse the land management company for the direct expense incurred by the land management company as a result of the crossing. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
220 ILCS 70/5
220 ILCS 70/15

Further amends the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. Provides that a rail carrier (currently only specifies a land management company) would be indirectly reimbursed for the direct expense incurred from operating a railroad right-of-way through a standard crossing fee imposed on a business entity whose facilities cross a right-of-way. Amends the Crossing of Railroad Right-of-way Act. Provides that a utility shall reimburse a rail carrier (currently only specifies a land management company) for any actual flagging expenses associated with a crossing in addition to paying the standard crossing fee required under the Act. Makes changes to the definition of "utility" by including a cable operator that is issued a cable television franchise by any municipality or county pursuant to provisions of the Illinois Municipal Code or provisions of the Counties Code.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Makes a technical correction.
