Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Provides that if the property subject to a highway right-of-way is not owned by the owners of the abutting property, then any damages for installing equipment upon, under, or along the highway must be paid to the person who has paid real estate taxes for the property as reflected in the county tax records. If no person has paid real estate taxes, then the facilities may be installed without payment of any damages.

Provides that property that includes a portion of a highway or road but is subject to the highway or road shall not be considered to "end" at the highway or road. Provides that a utility must obtain consent to use a road or highway for public utility purposes from a lawful owner of the roadway or highway property (i.e. a person whose deed of conveyance lawfully includes the property, whether or not made subject to the highway or road) who does not pay taxes by reason of the farmland assessment provisions of the Property Tax Code. Provides that the term "conveyance" expressly excludes a road, street, highway, or alley if the legal description expressly states that the road, street, highway, or alley is excepted from the property being conveyed.
