    AN ACT concerning local government.

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

 
    Section 5. The Mosquito Abatement District Act is amended  
by changing Section 10 as follows:
 



    (70 ILCS 1005/10)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 83)


    Sec. 10. Any territory lying adjacent and contiguous to a 
mosquito
abatement district, and not part of another mosquito 
abatement district,
may be annexed to such district in the 
following manner:

    (a) Upon petition in writing, describing the territory 
proposed to be
annexed and signed by a majority of the legal 
voters in such territory
and by the owners of more than half of 
the taxable property in such
territory as shown by the last 
ascertained equalized value of the
taxable property in such 
territory, being filed with the trustees of
such mosquito 
abatement district, such trustees may annex such territory
by a 
resolution which shall be published at least once in a 
newspaper
having a general circulation in the territory and 
shall include a notice
of (1) the specific number of voters 
required to sign a petition requesting
that the question of the 
adoption of the resolution be submitted to the
electors of the 
territory; (2) the time in which the petition must be filed;

and (3) the date of the prospective referendum.  The county 
clerk of the
county in which the territory is situated shall 
provide a petition form
to any individual requesting one. The 
resolution shall be effective
30 days from the date of 
publication and is subject to a referendum, if
such referendum 
is requested, prior to the effective date of the
resolution, by 
the voters in the district equal to 10% or more of the

registered voters in the district. Such trustees may also order 
the
question of the annexation of such territory to be 
submitted to the legal
voters of such district at a regular 
election therein by certifying the
question to the proper 
election officials.  Notice of such election shall
be given and 
the election conducted in the manner provided by the general

election law.  The proposition shall be stated, "Shall the 
territory
(describing it) be annexed to The.... Mosquito 
Abatement District?" If the
majority of all the votes cast on 
the question is in favor of such
annexation, the board of 
trustees shall so certify to the county clerk, and
within ten 
days of such election the trustees by an order duly entered 
upon
their records shall annex such territory to the district 
and shall file a
map of the annexed territory in the office of 
the county clerk of the
county where the annexed territory is 
situated. Thereupon such territory
shall be deemed annexed to 
and shall be a part of such mosquito abatement
district.

    (b) Whenever a mosquito abatement district contains over 
90% of territory of a specific city or village, the mosquito 
abatement district may annex additional adjacent and 
contiguous territory within that city or village, but not 
incorporated within a mosquito abatement district, by the 
passage of an ordinance to that effect.
    The ordinance authorizing the annexation shall be 
published within 10 days after the ordinance has been adopted, 
in one or more newspapers having a general circulation within 
the territory.  The publication of the ordinance shall be 
accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific number of voters 
required to sign a petition requesting the question of 
annexation; (2) the time within which the petition must be 
filed; and (3) the date of the prospective referendum.  The 
county clerk of the county in which the territory is situated 
shall provide a petition form to any individual requesting one.

    The ordinance shall take effect 30 days after the date of 
publication unless a referendum is requested prior to the 
effective date of the ordinance by 10% or more of the 
registered voters in the territory.  The
question of the 
annexation of the territory may be submitted to the legal

voters of the territory at a regular election by certifying the

question to the proper election officials.  Notice of the 
election shall
be given and the election conducted in the 
manner provided by the general
election law.  The proposition 
shall be stated, "Shall the territory
(describing it) be 
annexed to The.... Mosquito Abatement District?"  If the

majority of all the votes cast on the question is in favor of 
the
annexation, the territory
shall be deemed annexed to and 
shall be a part of the mosquito abatement
district.

    No territory may be annexed under this subsection (i) more 
than one year after it has first been included in that city or 
village unless the territory so annexed is 50 acres or less or 
(ii) if the annexation would expand the mosquito abatement 
district's boundaries outside of a county unless the district 
already contains territory in that county.
