 4        "AN  ACT  to amend the Counties Code by changing Sections

 6    by replacing everything after the enacting  clause  with  the
 7    following:
 8        "Section  5.   The  Counties  Code is amended by changing
 9    Sections 5-1041 and 5-1041.1 as follows:
10        (55 ILCS 5/5-1041) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1041)
11        Sec. 5-1041. Maps, plats and subdivisions. A county board
12    may prescribe, by resolution or ordinance,  reasonable  rules
13    and  regulations  governing the location, width and course of
14    streets  and  highways  and  of  floodplain,  stormwater  and
15    floodwater runoff channels and basins, and the  provision  of
16    necessary public grounds for schools, public libraries, parks
17    or playgrounds, and necessary capital facilities for schools,
18    in  any map, plat or subdivision of any block, lot or sub-lot
19    or any part thereof or any piece or parcel of land, not being
20    within any city, village or incorporated town.  The rules and
21    regulations may include  such  reasonable  requirements  with
                            -2-              LRB9009298MWcdam
 1    respect  to  water supply and sewage collection and treatment
 2    as may be established by the Environmental Protection Agency,
 3    and such reasonable requirements with respect  to  floodplain
 4    and stormwater management as may be established by the County
 5    Stormwater  Management  Committee  established  under Section
 6    5-1062 of this Code, and such  reasonable  requirements  with
 7    respect   to   street   drainage  and  surfacing  as  may  be
 8    established by  the  county  engineer  or  superintendent  of
 9    highways  and  which  by resolution shall be deemed to be the
10    minimum requirements in the interest of the  health,  safety,
11    education  and  convenience  of the public of the county; and
12    may provide by resolution that the map, plat  or  subdivision
13    shall  be submitted to the county board or to some officer to
14    be designated by the county board for their or his  approval.
15    The  county  board  shall  have  a qualified engineer make an
16    estimate of the probable expenditures necessary to enable any
17    person  to  conform  with  the  standards   of   construction
18    established  by  the board pursuant to the provisions of this
19    Section. Each person who seeks the county board's approval of
20    a map, plat or subdivision shall post a good  and  sufficient
21    bond  or  other adequate security with the county clerk, in a
22    penal sum sufficient to cover the  estimate  of  expenditures
23    made  by  the estimating engineer. The bond or other adequate
24    security shall be conditioned upon faithful adherence to  the
25    rules   and  regulations  of  the  county  board  promulgated
26    pursuant to the authorization granted to it by  this  Section
27    or  by Section 5-1062 of this Code, and in such cases no such
28    map, plat or subdivision shall be entitled to record  in  the
29    proper  county  or  have  any  validity  until it has been so
30    approved. This  Section  is  subject  to  the  provisions  of
31    Section 5-1123.
32        The  county  board may, by resolution, provide a schedule
33    of fees sufficient to reimburse  the  county  for  the  costs
34    incurred  in  reviewing  such  maps,  plats  and subdivisions
                            -3-              LRB9009298MWcdam
 1    submitted  for  approval  to  the  county  board.  The   fees
 2    authorized  by  this  Section are to be paid into the general
 3    corporate fund of the county by the party  desiring  to  have
 4    the plat approved.
 5        No  officer designated by a county board for the approval
 6    of plats shall engage in the business of  surveying,  and  no
 7    map, plat or subdivision shall be received for record or have
 8    any  validity  which  has  been  prepared  by  or  under  the
 9    direction of such plat officer.
10        It  is  the  intention  of this amendatory Act of 1990 to
11    repeal the language added to Section  25.09  of  "An  Act  to
12    revise  the  law in relation to counties", approved March 31,
13    1874, by P.A. 86-614, Section 25.09 of  that  Act  being  the

16        (55 ILCS 5/5-1041.1) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1041.1)
17        Sec.   5-1041.1.   School  land  and  capital  facilities
18    donations.
19        (a)  The governing board of a  school  district  that  is
20    located  in  a  county  having  a  population  of  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,
23    capital  facilities  donations, or both 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, capital facilities, or
27    both 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.   In  no
30    event  shall  the  total donation required of a developer for
31    school land purposes, capital facilities  purposes,  or  both
32    exceed  the developer's maximum required school land donation
33    as  authorized  in  this   Section.   Each   subdivision   or
                            -4-              LRB9009298MWcdam
 1    resubdivision  making  a  donation  must receive a direct and
 2    material benefit from school improvements resulting from  the
 3    school  land  donation, capital facilities donation, or both.
 4    If any portion of a donation is not expended for the purposes
 5    set forth in this Section within 10 years after the  date  of
 6    final  plat  approval,  it shall be refunded to the party who
 7    made the donation.  Refunds shall be provided only  when  the
 8    payee  presents  a  written request addressed to the effected
 9    school district or Regional Superintendent of Schools  within
10    the  11th  year following the payment.  Funds collected under
11    the provisions in this Section must  be  transferred  to  the
12    school district within 90 days after the date of collection.
13        (b)  For purposes of this Section:
14        "School  land  donation"  means   a  donation of land for
15    public school purposes, a cash  contribution  in  lieu  of  a
16    donation of land, or a combination of both.
17        "Capital  facilities  donation" means a cash contribution
18    to   cover   costs   associated   with   school    structural
19    improvements,  limited  to new school buildings; additions or
20    renovations to existing school  buildings;  upgrades  on  all
21    existing  plumbing,  electrical,  and  HVAC  systems; similar
22    equipment installations in new  school  buildings;  and  fees
23    associated  with  school  expansion  such  as  architectural,
24    engineering, or recapture fees. A capital facilities donation
25    shall  not  be  used  to  cure any existing deficiencies in a
26    school facility or to pay any  fees  associated  with  curing
27    those existing deficiencies.
28        "Proportionate  share"  means land and capital facilities
29    costs that are specifically and uniquely  attributable  to  a
30    subdivision  or  resubdivision after the consideration of the
31    following factors:  (i)  the  projected  number  of  students
32    generated  by  the  subdivision  or  resubdivision;  (ii) any
33    appropriate credit or offset for the contribution  of  money;
34    (iii)   construction   of  school  capital  facilities;  (iv)
                            -5-              LRB9009298MWcdam
 1    payments reasonably anticipated to be made by or as a  result
 2    of the subdivision or resubdivision in the form of fees, debt
 3    service payments, or taxes that are dedicated for school land
 4    or capital facilities; and (v) all other available sources of
 5    funding  school land and capital facilities. In order to make
 6    a determination of a  developer's  proportionate  share,  the
 7    county  must  have  in place a formula that shall be assessed
 8    consistantly   and   accurately   against   all   residential
 9    subdivisions or resubdivisions.
10        "Specifically and uniquely  attributable"  means  that  a
11    subdivision   or   resubdivision   creates  the  need  or  an
12    identifiable portion of the need for additional school  land,
13    school  capacity, or both to be provided by the donation. For
14    the purposes of this Section, "school land donation" means  a
15    donation  of  land  for  public  school  purposes  or  a cash
16    contribution in lieu thereof, or a combination of both.

19    becoming law.".
