Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Regional Planning  Commission  Act  and  the  Counties      
   Code.  Authorizes  a  county  board  to establish an intergovernmental      
   cooperation council, composed of county and municipal representatives,      
   to develop and recommend various plans for the  coordination  of  land      
   use,  transportation,  and  infrastructure.  The  council may also (i)      
   serve as the county's regional  planning  commission,  (ii)  recommend      
   future  municipal boundaries, and (iii) recommend an intergovernmental

   county  board  that has established a council that has adopted certain      
   plans and procedures may impose taxes and fees  beyond  the  statutory
