    Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Section 7-1-13 as follows:
 
    (65 ILCS 5/7-1-13)  (from Ch. 24, par. 7-1-13)
    Sec. 7-1-13. Whenever any unincorporated territory
containing 60 acres or less, is wholly bounded by (a) one or
more municipalities, (b) one or more municipalities and a creek
in a county with a population of 400,000 or more, or one or
more municipalities and a river or lake in any county, (c) one
or more municipalities and the Illinois State boundary, (d) one
or more municipalities and property owned by the State of
Illinois, except highway right-of-way owned in fee by the
State, (e) one or more municipalities and a forest preserve
district or park district, or (f) if the territory is a
triangular parcel of less than 10 acres, one or more
municipalities and an interstate highway owned in fee by the
State and bounded by a frontage road, that territory may be
annexed by any municipality by which it is bounded in whole or
in part, by the passage of an ordinance to that effect after
notice is given as provided in this Section. The corporate
authorities shall cause notice, stating that annexation of the
territory described in the notice is contemplated under this
Section, to be published once, in a newspaper of general
circulation within the territory to be annexed, not less than
10 days before the passage of the annexation ordinance. When
the territory to be annexed lies wholly or partially within a
township other than that township where the municipality is
situated, the annexing municipality shall give at least 10 days
prior written notice of the time and place of the passage of
the annexation ordinance to the township supervisor of the
township where the territory to be annexed lies. The ordinance
shall describe the territory annexed and a copy thereof
together with an accurate map of the annexed territory shall be
recorded in the office of the recorder of the county wherein
the annexed territory is situated and a document of annexation
shall be filed with the county clerk and County Election
Authority. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as
permitting a municipality to annex territory of a forest
preserve district in a county with a population of 3,000,000 or
more without obtaining the consent of the district pursuant to
Section 8.3 of the Cook County Forest Preserve District Act nor
shall anything in this Section be construed as permitting a
municipality to annex territory owned by a park district
without obtaining the consent of the district pursuant to
Section 8-1.1 of the Park District Code.

subject to annexation by a municipality without the express
consent of the board of park commissioners of the district.
