 7    as follows:
 8        (55 ILCS 5/5-1041) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1041)
 9        Sec. 5-1041. Maps, plats and subdivisions. A county board
10    may prescribe, by resolution or ordinance,  reasonable  rules
11    and  regulations  governing the location, width and course of
12    streets  and  highways  and  of  floodplain,  stormwater  and
13    floodwater runoff channels and basins, and the  provision  of
14    necessary  public grounds and capital facilities for schools,
15    public libraries, parks or playgrounds, in any map,  plat  or
16    subdivision  of any block, lot or sub-lot or any part thereof
17    or any piece or parcel of land, not being  within  any  city,
18    village  or incorporated town.  The rules and regulations may
19    include such reasonable requirements with  respect  to  water
20    supply   and  sewage  collection  and  treatment  as  may  be
21    established by the Environmental Protection Agency, and  such
22    reasonable   requirements  with  respect  to  floodplain  and
23    stormwater management as may be  established  by  the  County
24    Stormwater  Management  Committee  established  under Section
25    5-1062 of this Code, and such  reasonable  requirements  with
26    respect   to   street   drainage  and  surfacing  as  may  be
27    established by  the  county  engineer  or  superintendent  of
28    highways  and  which  by resolution shall be deemed to be the
29    minimum requirements in the interest of the  health,  safety,
30    education  and  convenience  of the public of the county; and
31    may provide by resolution that the map, plat  or  subdivision
                            -2-                LRB9009298MWpc
 1    shall  be submitted to the county board or to some officer to
 2    be designated by the county board for their or his  approval.
 3    The  county  board  shall  have  a qualified engineer make an
 4    estimate of the probable expenditures necessary to enable any
 5    person  to  conform  with  the  standards   of   construction
 6    established  by  the board pursuant to the provisions of this
 7    Section. Each person who seeks the county board's approval of
 8    a map, plat or subdivision shall post a good  and  sufficient
 9    bond  or  other adequate security with the county clerk, in a
10    penal sum sufficient to cover the  estimate  of  expenditures
11    made  by  the estimating engineer. The bond or other adequate
12    security shall be conditioned upon faithful adherence to  the
13    rules   and  regulations  of  the  county  board  promulgated
14    pursuant to the authorization granted to it by  this  Section
15    or  by Section 5-1062 of this Code, and in such cases no such
16    map, plat or subdivision shall be entitled to record  in  the
17    proper  county  or  have  any  validity  until it has been so
18    approved. This  Section  is  subject  to  the  provisions  of
19    Section 5-1123.
20        The  county  board may, by resolution, provide a schedule
21    of fees sufficient to reimburse  the  county  for  the  costs
22    incurred  in  reviewing  such  maps,  plats  and subdivisions
23    submitted  for  approval  to  the  county  board.  The   fees
24    authorized  by  this  Section are to be paid into the general
25    corporate fund of the county by the party  desiring  to  have
26    the plat approved.
27        No  officer designated by a county board for the approval
28    of plats shall engage in the business of  surveying,  and  no
29    map, plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have
30    any  validity  which  has  been  prepared  by  or  under  the
31    direction of such plat officer.
32        It  is  the  intention  of this amendatory Act of 1990 to
33    repeal the language added to Section  25.09  of  "An  Act  to
34    revise  the  law in relation to counties", approved March 31,

 4        (55 ILCS 5/5-1041.1) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1041.1)
 5        Sec.  5-1041.1. School land donations. Except as provided
 6    in Section 5-1041.2, the governing board of a school district
 7    that is located in a county having a population of less  than
 8    3,000,000  may  submit  to the county board a written request
 9    that a meeting be held to discuss school land donations  from
10    a  developer  of  a  subdivision  or  resubdivision  of  land
11    included  within  the area served by the school district. For
12    the purposes of this Section, "school land donation" means  a
13    donation  of  land  for  public  school  purposes  or  a cash
14    contribution in lieu thereof, or a combination of both.
15    (Source: P.A. 86-1039.)
16        (55 ILCS 5/5/1041.2 new)

18    donations.
19        (a)  The  governing board of a school district located in
20    a county having a population of 500,000 or more and less than
21    3,000,000 may submit to the county board  a  written  request
22    that  a  meeting be held to discuss school land donations and
23    capital  facilities  donations  from   a   developer   of   a
24    subdivision or resubdivision of land included within the area
25    served   by  the  school  district.   In  no  event  shall  a
26    developer's donation of school land  and  capital  facilities
27    exceed  his  or  her  proportionate  share  of the costs to a
28    school  district   that   are   specifically   and   uniquely
29    attributable  to  the  subdivision  or  resubdivision.   Each
30    subdivision or resubdivision making a donation must receive a
31    direct   and   material   benefit  from  school  improvements
32    resulting  from  the  school  land  or   capital   facilities
                            -4-                LRB9009298MWpc
 1    donation.
 2        (b)  For purposes of this Section:
 3        "School  land  donation"  means   a  donation of land for
 4    public school purposes, a cash  contribution  in  lieu  of  a
 5    donation of land, or a combination of both.

12    buildings;  and fees associated with school expansion such as
13    architectural, engineering, legal, or recapture fees.
14        "Proportionate share" means land and  capital  facilities
15    costs  that  are  specifically and uniquely attributable to a
16    subdivision or resubdivision after the consideration  of  the
17    following  factors:  (i)  the  projected  number  of students
18    generated by  the  subdivision  or  resubdivision;  (ii)  any
19    appropriate  credit  or offset for the contribution of money;
20    (iii)  construction  of  school  capital   facilities;   (iv)
21    payments  reasonably anticipated to be made by or as a result
22    of the subdivision or resubdivision in the form of fees, debt
23    service payments, or taxes that are dedicated for school land
24    or capital facilities; and (v) all other available sources of
25    funding school land and capital facilities.
26        "Specifically and uniquely  attributable"  means  that  a
27    subdivision   or   resubdivision   creates  the  need  or  an
28    identifiable portion of the need for additional school  land,
29    school capacity, or both to be provided by the donation.
30        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
31    becoming law.
