Sec. 50.
Home Rule.
It is declared to be the law of this State,
pursuant to paragraph (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
Constitution, that the authority or duty to establish or prohibit the
establishment of neighborhood security patrol programs in any municipality with
more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, including home rule units, and the
determination of the terms of such programs are declared to be exclusive powers
and functions of the State which may not be exercised concurrently by any such
municipality, except as otherwise provided in this Section. No municipality
with more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, including home rule units, shall
establish or maintain a neighborhood security patrol program other than as
provided in this Act, and any such municipality shall affirmatively establish
and maintain a neighborhood security patrol program when required to do so
pursuant to this Act, except that this Section shall not be construed to
prohibit the operation of a neighborhood security patrol program created by a
municipal ordinance adopted before the effective date of this Act.
