| AN ACT concerning local government.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Sanitary District Act of 1917 is amended by | 5 |
| changing Sections 8, 23.5, and 23.7 as follows:
| 6 |
| (70 ILCS 2405/8) (from Ch. 42, par. 307)
| 7 |
| Sec. 8. The sanitary district may acquire by purchase, | 8 |
| condemnation, or
otherwise all real and personal property, | 9 |
| right of way and privilege,
either within or without its | 10 |
| corporate limits that may be required for its
corporate | 11 |
| purposes. If real property is acquired by condemnation, the
| 12 |
| sanitary district may not sell or lease any
portion of the | 13 |
| property
for a
period of 10
years after acquisition by | 14 |
| condemnation is completed. If, after such 10-year
period, the | 15 |
| sanitary district decides to sell or lease the property, it | 16 |
| must
first offer the property for sale or lease to the previous | 17 |
| owner of the land
from whom the sanitary district acquired the | 18 |
| property. If the sanitary
district and such previous owner do | 19 |
| not execute a contract for purchase or
lease of the property | 20 |
| within 60 days from the initial offer, the sanitary
district | 21 |
| then may offer the property for sale or lease to any other | 22 |
| person.
For the purposes of this Section no prior approval of | 23 |
| the Illinois Commerce Commission shall be required for | 24 |
| condemnation of sewage collection or treatment works owned by a | 25 |
| public utility and located within the boundaries of the | 26 |
| sanitary district if the works are to be used by the sanitary | 27 |
| district either by operating the works as a separate system or | 28 |
| incorporating it into the sewage collection or treatment system | 29 |
| of the sanitary district. If any district formed under this Act | 30 |
| is unable to
agree with any other sanitary district upon the | 31 |
| terms whereby it shall be
permitted to use the drains, channels | 32 |
| or ditches of such other sanitary
district, the right to such |

| use may be acquired by condemnation in any
circuit court by | 2 |
| proceedings as provided in Section 4-17 of the Illinois
| 3 |
| Drainage Code. The compensation to be paid for such use may be | 4 |
| a gross sum,
or it may be in the form of an annual rental, to be | 5 |
| paid in yearly
installments as provided by the judgment of the | 6 |
| court wherein
such proceedings may be had. However, when such | 7 |
| compensation is fixed at a
gross sum all moneys for the | 8 |
| purchase and condemnation of any property
shall be paid before | 9 |
| possession is taken or any work done on the premises
damaged by | 10 |
| the construction of such channel or outlet, and in case of an
| 11 |
| appeal from the circuit court taken by either party whereby the | 12 |
| amount of
damages is not finally determined, then possession | 13 |
| may be taken, if the
amount of judgment in such court is | 14 |
| deposited at some bank or savings
and loan association to be | 15 |
| designated by the court, subject to the payment
of such damages | 16 |
| on orders signed by the circuit court, whenever the amount
of | 17 |
| damages is finally determined. The sanitary district may sell, | 18 |
| convey,
vacate and release the real or personal property, right | 19 |
| of way and privileges
acquired by it when no longer required | 20 |
| for the purposes of the district.

| which is not
within the corporate limits of the sanitary | 25 |
| district but which is
contiguous to it and is served by the | 26 |
| sanitary district or by a
municipality with sanitary sewers | 27 |
| that are connected and served by the
sanitary district by the | 28 |
| passage of an ordinance to that effect by the
board of | 29 |
| trustees, describing the territory to be annexed. A copy of the
| 30 |
| ordinance with an accurate map of the annexed territory, | 31 |
| certified as
correct by the clerk of the district shall be | 32 |
| filed with the county clerk
of the county in which the annexed | 33 |

included within the forest preserve | 10 |
| district shall not be annexed to the
sanitary district and | 11 |
| shall not be
subject to rights-of-way for access or services | 12 |
| between the parts of the
sanitary district separated by the
| 13 |
| forest preserve district without the approval of the governing | 14 |
| body of the
