23        (a)  The Department may  make  loans  to  public  airport
24    owners  for  the purchase of any real estate interests as may
25    be needed for essential airport  purposes,  including  future
26    needs, subject to the following conditions:
27             (1)  loans may be made only to public airport owners
28        that are operating an airport as of January 1, 1999; and
29             (2)  loans may not be made for airports that provide

                            -4-            LRB9111013EGfgam03
 1        than 5,000,000 population.
 2        The  loans  are  payable  from  the  Airport  Land   Loan
 3    Revolving  Fund, subject to appropriation.  All repayments of
 4    loans made  pursuant  to  this  Section,  including  interest
 5    thereon and penalties, shall be deposited in the Airport Land
 6    Loan   Revolving  Fund.   The  Treasurer  shall  deposit  all
 7    investment earnings arising from balances in the Airport Land
 8    Loan Revolving Fund in that Fund.
 9        (b)  All loans  under  this  Section  shall  be  made  by
10    contract between the Department and the public airport owner,
11    which contract shall include the following provisions:
12             (1)  The annual rate of interest shall be the lesser
13        of  (A)  2 percent below the Prime Rate charged by banks,
14        as published by the Federal Reserve Board, in  effect  at
15        the  time the Department approves the loan, or (B) a rate
16        determined by the Department, after consultation with the
17        Bureau of the Budget, that will not adversely affect  the
18        tax-exempt  status  of interest on the bonds of the State
19        issued in whole or in part  to  make  deposits  into  the
20        Airport  Land  Loan  Revolving  Fund,  nor  diminish  the
21        benefit  to  the  State  of  the tax-exempt status of the
22        interest on such bonds but in no event shall less than  2
23        percent be charged.
24             (2)  The  term  of  any  loan  shall not exceed five
25        years, but it may be for less by mutual agreement.
26             (3)  Loan  payments  shall  be  scheduled  in  equal
27        amounts for the periods determined under paragraph (4) of
28        this Section.  The loan payments shall be  calculated  so
29        that  the  loan  is  completely repaid, with interest, on
30        outstanding balances, by the end of the  term  determined
31        under  paragraph  (2) of this Section.  There shall be no
32        penalty for early payment ahead of the payment schedule.
33             (4)  The period of loan payments  shall  be  annual,
34        unless by mutual agreement a period of less than one year
 
                            -5-            LRB9111013EGfgam03
 1        is chosen.
 2             (5)  The   loan  shall  be  secured  with  the  land
 3        purchased, in  whole  or  in  part,  with  the  loan  and
 4        considered as collateral.  The public airport owner shall
 5        assign  a  first priority interest in the property to the
 6        State.
 7             (6)  If the loan payment is not made within 15  days
 8        after  the  scheduled date determined under paragraph (3)
 9        of this Section, a penalty of 10% of the payment shall be
10        assessed.  If 30 days after the scheduled payment date no
11        payment has been received, the loan shall  be  considered
12        in default.
13             (7)  As soon as a loan is considered in default, the
14        Department  shall  notify  the  public  airport owner and
15        attempt to enter into a renegotiation of the loan payment
16        amounts and schedule determined under  paragraph  (3)  of
17        this  Section.   In no case shall the term of the loan be
18        extended  beyond  the  initial  term   determined   under
19        paragraph  (2)  of  this  Section; nor shall the interest
20        rate be lowered nor  any  interest  be  forgiven.   If  a
21        renegotiation  of  loan  payment  amounts and schedule is
22        obtained to the Department's satisfaction within 30  days
23        of notification of default, then the new payment schedule
24        shall replace the one determined by paragraph (3) of this
25        Section  and shall be used to measure compliance with the
26        loan for purposes  of  default.   If  after  30  days  of
27        notification of default the Department has not obtained a
28        renegotiation  to  its satisfaction, the Department shall
29        declare the loan balance due and payable immediately.  If
30        the public  airport  owner  cannot  immediately  pay  the
31        balance  of  the  loan,  the  Department shall proceed to
32        foreclose.
33        (c)  The Department may  promulgate  any  rules  that  it
34    finds   appropriate  to  implement  this  Airport  Land  Loan
