Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(70 ILCS 3615/2.21) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 702.21)
Sec. 2.21.

the exercise of its powers to provide effective public transportation as
provided by this Act:
(i) require or authorize the operation of, or operate |
| or acquire by eminent domain or otherwise, any public transportation facility or service on terms or in a manner which unreasonably interferes with the ability of a railroad to provide efficient freight or inter-city passenger service. This subparagraph shall not bar the Authority from acquiring title to any property pursuant to Section 2.13 in a manner consistent with this subparagraph.
|
|
(ii) obtain by eminent domain any interest in any
|
| right of way or any other real property of a railroad which is not a public body in excess of the interest to be used for public transportation as provided in this Act.
|
|
(iii) prohibit the operation of public transportation
|
| by a private carrier that does not receive a grant or purchase of service contract from the Authority or a Service Board.
|
|
(b) If in connection with any construction, acquisition, or other
activity undertaken by or for the Authority or a Service Board, or
pursuant to any purchase of
service or grant agreement with the Authority or a Service Board, any
facility of a public
utility (as defined in the Public Utilities Act), is removed or relocated from its then-existing site
all costs and expenses of such relocation or removal, including the cost of
installing such facilities in a new location or locations, and the cost of
any land or lands, or interest in land, or any rights required to
accomplish such relocation or removal, shall be paid by the Authority or
a Service Board. If
any such facilities are so relocated onto the properties of the Authority
or the Service Board
or onto properties made available for that purpose by the Authority or
the Service Board, there
shall be no rent, fee, or other charge of any kind imposed upon the public
utility owning or operating such facilities in excess of that imposed prior
to such relocation and such public utility, and its successors and assigns,
shall be granted the right to operate such facilities in the new location
or locations for as long a period and upon the same terms and conditions as
it had the right to maintain and operate such facilities in their former
location. Nothing in this paragraph (b) shall prevent the Authority or
the Service Board and a
transportation agency from agreeing in a purchase of service agreement or
otherwise to make different arrangements for such relocations or the costs
thereof.
