 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.   The Toll Highway Act is amended by changing
 6    Section 11 as follows:
 7        (605 ILCS 10/11) (from Ch. 121, par. 100-11)
 8        Sec. 11. The Authority shall have power:
 9        (a)  To enter upon lands,  waters  and  premises  in  the
10    State for the purpose of making surveys, soundings, drillings
11    and examinations as may be necessary, expedient or convenient
12    for  the  purposes  of  this Act, and such entry shall not be
13    deemed to be a trespass, nor shall an entry for such  purpose
14    be  deemed  an entry under any condemnation proceedings which
15    may be then pending; provided, however,  that  the  Authority
16    shall  make  reimbursement for any actual damage resulting to
17    such lands,  waters  and  premises  as  the  result  of  such
18    activities.
19        (b)  To  construct, maintain and operate stations for the
20    collection of tolls  or  charges  upon  and  along  any  toll
21    highways.
22        (c)  To  provide  for the collection of tolls and charges
23    for the privilege of using the said toll highways. All moneys
24    collected at a toll highway station  must  be  used  for  the
25    upkeep  and  maintenance  of that toll highway and may not be
26    used for the expansion of any other toll highway. Any change,
27    alteration in or modification of the rates for toll shall not
28    be  effective  unless  at  least  30  days   prior   to   the
29    establishment  of such rates notice thereof shall be given to
30    the  public  by  publication  in  a  newspaper   of   general
31    circulation,  and  such  notice, or notices, thereof shall be
                            -2-                LRB9002436NTsb
 1    posted and publicly displayed at each and every toll  station
 2    upon or along said toll highways.
 3        (d)  To  construct,  at the Authority's discretion, grade
 4    separations at intersections with any  railroads,  waterways,
 5    street  railways,  streets,  thoroughfares,  public  roads or
 6    highways intersected by the said toll highways, and to change
 7    and adjust the lines and grades thereof so as to  accommodate
 8    the  same  to  the  design  of  such  grade separation and to
 9    construct  interchange   improvements.   The   Authority   is
10    authorized  to  provide such grade separations or interchange
11    improvements at its own cost or to enter  into  contracts  or
12    agreements  with  reference to division of cost therefor with
13    any municipality or political subdivision  of  the  State  of
14    Illinois,  or  with  the  Federal  Government,  or any agency
15    thereof, or with any corporation, individual, firm, person or
16    association. Where such structures have  been  built  by  the
17    Authority  and  a  local highway agency did not enter into an
18    agreement to the contrary, the Authority shall  maintain  the
19    entire   structure,   including  the  road  surface,  at  the
20    Authority's expense.
21        (e)  To contract with and grant concessions to  or  lease
22    or  license  to any person, partnership, firm, association or
23    corporation so desiring the use  of  any  part  of  any  toll
24    highways,  excluding the paved portion thereof, but including
25    the right of way adjoining, under, or over said paved portion
26    for the placing  of  telephone,  telegraph,  electric,  power
27    lines and other utilities, and for the placing of pipe lines,
28    and  to  enter  into operating agreements with or to contract
29    with and grant concessions to or  to  lease  to  any  person,
30    partnership, firm, association or corporation so desiring the
31    use  of  any  part  of the toll highways, excluding the paved
32    portion thereof, but including the right of way adjoining, or
33    over said paved portion for motor fuel service  stations  and
34    facilities, garages, stores and restaurants, or for any other
                            -3-                LRB9002436NTsb
 1    lawful  purpose,  and  to  fix  the terms, conditions, rents,
 2    rates and charges for such use.
 3        The  Authority  shall  also  have  power   to   establish
 4    reasonable  regulations  for  the installation, construction,
 5    maintenance,  repair,  renewal,  relocation  and  removal  of
 6    pipes, mains, conduits,  cables,  wires,  towers,  poles  and
 7    other   equipment   and   appliances  (herein  called  public
 8    utilities) of any public utility as  defined  in  the  Public
 9    Utilities  Act  along,  over  or under any toll road project.
10    Whenever the Authority shall determine that it  is  necessary
11    that any such public utility facilities which now are located
12    in,  on,  along,  over  or  under  any project or projects be
13    relocated or  removed  entirely  from  any  such  project  or
14    projects,   the  public  utility  owning  or  operating  such
15    facilities shall relocate or remove the  same  in  accordance
16    with  the  order  of the Authority. All costs and expenses of
17    such relocation or removal, including the cost of  installing
18    such  facilities in a new location or locations, and the cost
19    of any land or lands, or  interest  in  land,  or  any  other
20    rights  required  to  accomplish  such  relocation or removal
21    shall be ascertained and paid by the Authority as a  part  of
22    the  cost of any such project or projects, and further, there
23    shall be no rent, fee or other charge  of  any  kind  imposed
24    upon  the  public  utility owning or operating any facilities
25    ordered relocated on the properties of the said Authority and
26    the said Authority shall grant to  the  said  public  utility
27    owning  or  operating  said facilities and its successors and
28    assigns the right to operate the same in the new location  or
29    locations  for  as  long a period and upon the same terms and
30    conditions as it had the right to maintain and  operate  such
31    facilities in their former location or locations.
