Section 1 as follows:
| 3 |
| (50 ILCS 15/1) (from Ch. 85, par. 1021)
| 4 |
| Sec. 1. Governing bodies of counties, cities, or other | 5 |
| local
governmental units , when authorized by the Department of | 6 |
| Commerce and
Community Affairs, may cooperate with the | 7 |
| governing bodies of the
counties and cities or other governing | 8 |
| bodies of any adjoining state or
states in the creation of a | 9 |
| joint planning commission where such
cooperation has been | 10 |
| authorized by law by the adjoining state or states.
Such a | 11 |
| joint planning commission may be designated to be a regional or
| 12 |
| metropolitan planning commission and shall have powers, duties | 13 |
| and
functions as authorized by "An Act to provide for regional | 14 |
| planning and
for the creation, organization and powers of | 15 |
| regional planning
commissions", approved June 25, 1929, as | 16 |
| heretofore or hereafter
amended, and, as agreed among the | 17 |
| governing bodies. Such a planning
commission shall be a legal | 18 |
| entity for all purposes.
| 19 |
| An Intergovernmental Cooperation Council created in | 20 |
| accordance with Section
5-1130 of the Counties Code may serve | 21 |
| as the planning commission if so
designated by the county board | 22 |
| as provided in that Section. | 23 |

| 26 |
| (55 ILCS 5/5-1130 new)
| 27 |
| Sec. 5-1130. Intergovernmental Cooperation Council.
| 28 |
| (a) The purpose of this Section is to provide a framework | 29 |

| county is within the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission | 19 |
| or the Southwestern Illinois Metro Planning Commission, then | 20 |
| the county board may designate that commission as the | 21 |
| Intergovernmental Cooperation Council for the county. | 22 |
| Within 60 days after the establishment of an | 23 |
| Intergovernmental Cooperation Council in accordance with this | 24 |
| Section, the Council must notify the Department of Commerce and | 25 |
| Economic Opportunity of the establishment of the Council and | 26 |
| the identity of the Council members.

| Each municipal
and county board representative shall be | 28 |
| entitled to a vote; the other members
shall be
nonvoting | 29 |
| members, unless authorized to vote by the unanimous consent of | 30 |
| the
voting members.

one county may
| 32 |
| choose, at the time of formation of the Council, to participate | 33 |
| in the Council
program of
either or both of the counties.
| 34 |

| Development Administration Division of the U.S. Department of | 17 |
| Commerce that are within the county.

| The Council may retain
planning, mediation, negotiation, | 19 |
| engineering, legal, and financial advisors

| 22 |
| The
Council shall meet at least quarterly and shall hold at | 23 |
| least one public
hearing during the
preparation of each plan.
| 24 |
| (c) The county board may, by resolution, assign the | 25 |
| Intergovernmental
Cooperation Council to
serve as the county | 26 |
| planning commission as provided in Division 5-14
and in the | 27 |
| Regional Planning Commission Act.
In counties exercising this | 28 |
| option, the Council shall assume all the
duties and
| 29 |
| responsibilities of the county planning commission and the | 30 |
| Local Land
Resource
Management Plan shall meet the requirements | 31 |
| of and serve as the county

| substantial portions of the county. The Local Land
Resource
| 2 |
| Management Plan shall, to the greatest extent practical, | 3 |
| include coordinated
land use,
transportation, and | 4 |
| infrastructure plans and encourage development and
| 5 |
| redevelopment patterns
that reduce traffic congestion, support | 6 |
| transit, conserve land, protect natural
resources,
provide | 7 |
| housing conveniently accessible to jobs, and
make the most
| 8 |
| efficient use of public infrastructure investments. The Local | 9 |
| Land Resource
Management
Plan should incorporate (i) municipal | 10 |
| and intergovernmental plans and other
countywide plans
and (ii) | 11 |
| the elements of a comprehensive plan under Section 25 of the | 12 |
| Local Planning Technical Assistance Act, to the greatest extent | 13 |
| practical.
| 14 |
| (e) The Intergovernmental Cooperation Council may prepare, | 15 |
| for
recommendation to the county
board, a procedure for | 16 |
| intergovernmental cooperation that provides for:
| 17 |
| (1) an
efficient and
timely process for | 18 |
| intergovernmental review of public and private land use,
| 19 |
| development, and
transportation proposals with greater | 20 |
| than local impacts; and
| 21 |
| (2) a voluntary
procedure for early
resolution of | 22 |
| intergovernmental disputes regarding public and private | 23 |
| land use,
development,
transportation, and annexation | 24 |
| actions, prior to administrative or judicial
hearings.
| 25 |
| Public and private land use, development, and | 26 |
| transportation proposals
with
greater than
local impact shall | 27 |
| require notification to interested governments, which shall
| 28 |
| include, at a
minimum: (i) any local government with | 29 |
| jurisdiction over the property in question; (ii)
the county;
| 30 |
| (iii) adjacent municipalities; (iv) the Metropolitan Planning | 31 |
| Organization or any other
regional
transportation agency; and | 32 |
| (v) any regional planning agency established by State

| establish
definitions and
procedures for implementation of | 2 |
| this subsection. The notification requirement
shall extend to | 3 |
| any local development project that (i) receives
State funding | 4 |
| or
requires State regulatory approval and (ii) meets certain | 5 |
| threshold conditions
as to size and
probable impact as defined | 6 |
| by the Intergovernmental Cooperation Council.
Within 45 days
| 7 |
| after notification, notified entities must prepare and submit | 8 |
| comments. The
sponsoring
government may hold a meeting with
| 9 |
| interested parties
to discuss and seek resolution of issues | 10 |
| raised in the comments. Completion of
notification and | 11 |
| responsiveness to comments shall enhance the priority position | 12 |
| for State funding in
support of the
proposed project.
| 13 |
| (f) An Intergovernmental Cooperation Council may develop a | 14 |
| procedure
providing for the
early voluntary resolution of | 15 |
| intergovernmental disputes. These procedures
shall allow
local | 16 |
| governmental entities to request the Council to review disputes | 17 |
| regarding
public and
private land use, development, | 18 |
| transportation, and annexation actions, prior to
seeking
| 19 |
| administrative or judicial hearings. The Council shall review | 20 |
| actions only if
each party to the
dispute requests it. In | 21 |
| conducting the review, the Council shall provide each
party the
| 22 |
| opportunity to present its case. In making its finding the | 23 |
| Council shall
determine whether the
proposed action on the part | 24 |
| of the first party does in fact have a negative impact on
the | 25 |
| second party,
and if so, identify an appropriate mitigation or | 26 |
| alternative course of action.
In making its
decision, the | 27 |
| Council shall consider the adopted Local Land Resource | 28 |
| Management
Plan and
any other plans prepared by the Council. | 29 |
| The Council shall forward its written
findings to
the governing | 30 |
| body of each party. The findings of the Council shall be
| 31 |
| non-binding and shall
in no case affect the ability of each | 32 |
| party to pursue other
administrative or judicial hearings,
| 33 |
| unless otherwise agreed in writing by each party.

| any regional or multi-county planning agency having
| 3 |
| jurisdiction
for the county and shall coordinate with each | 4 |
| adjoining county to ensure that
recommended plans
and projects | 5 |
| have minimum adverse impacts. An adopted Local Land Resource
| 6 |
| Management
Plan and any other plan prepared by the Council | 7 |
| shall identify steps taken to
coordinate the
development of | 8 |
| plan recommendations with adjoining counties and any regional | 9 |
| or
multi-county planning agency having jurisdiction for the | 10 |
| county.
| 11 |
| (h) A unit of local government shall receive priority | 12 |

State

State programs if the | 13 |

county that | 14 |

established an Intergovernmental Cooperation Council; | 15 |

Resource
Management Plan that has | 16 |
