    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly: 


 
    Section 5. The Heart of Illinois Regional Port District Act 
is amended  by changing Section 120 as follows:
 



    (70 ILCS 1807/120)



    Sec. 120. Meetings; ordinances and resolutions; public 
records. Regular
meetings of the Board shall be held at least 
once in each calendar month, the
time and
place of the meeting 
to be fixed by the Board. Five members of the Board shall

constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. All action 
of the Board
shall be by
motion, ordinance, or resolution, 
except that any action authorizing the expenditure of funds in 
excess of $5,000 must be by ordinance. The
and the affirmative 
vote of at least 5 members shall be
necessary for the adoption 
of any ordinance or resolution. All ordinances and
resolutions 
before taking effect shall be approved by the chairperson of 
the
Board. If
the chairperson shall approve the ordinance or 
resolution, he or she shall sign
it. Those
ordinances or 
resolutions the chairperson
shall not approve the chairperson

shall
return to the Board with his or her objections in writing 
at the next regular
meeting of
the Board occurring after the 
passage of the ordinances or resolutions. If the
chairperson 
shall fail to return any ordinance or resolution with his or 
her
objections by
the time required in this Section, he or she 
shall be deemed to have approved
it and it
shall take effect 
accordingly. Upon the return of any ordinance or resolution
by 
the
chairperson with his or her objections, the vote by which 
the ordinance or
resolution was
passed shall be reconsidered by 
the Board. If upon reconsideration the
ordinance or
resolution 
is passed by the affirmative vote of at least 6 members, it 
shall go
into effect
notwithstanding the veto of the 
chairperson. All ordinances, resolutions, all
proceedings of 
the district, and all documents
and records in its possession 
shall be
public records, and open to public inspection, except 
any documents and records
that
shall be kept or prepared by the 
Board for use in negotiations, actions, or
proceedings
to which 
the district is a party.
