AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1355

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1355 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act of 2009 is amended by adding Section 10-50 as follows:

(30 ILCS 764/10-50 new)

Sec. 10-50. Change of use. A local government consisting of a municipality with a population in excess of 100,000 may change a park or recreation use for a park or recreation unit construction project for which a grant has been received pursuant to this Act to a social service use if the Governor has declared a public health emergency for territory including such a municipality within the previous 12 months. Such a social service use may be operated by such a municipality or by a social service agency pursuant to a service agreement or pursuant to a sale or lease of such property by the municipality to a social service agency. There shall be no time limit on such a change in use. Such a change in use shall not constitute or be construed as a conversion of the use of such recreation unit construction project, and shall not constitute or be construed as a violation or breach of any applicable grant or grant agreement terms, nor shall such change in use require a replacement property, reimbursement of any grant funds, or result in any other sanction or penalty. The provisions of this Section shall apply to any existing park or recreation unit construction projects and grant agreements and any park or recreation unit construction projects and grant agreements entered into after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.".
