1 AN ACT in relation to aeronautics.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Airport Authorities Act is amended by
5 changing Section 17.2 as follows:
6 (70 ILCS 5/17.2) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 68.17b)
7 Sec. 17.2. Whenever a township disconnects from a
8 Metropolitan Airport Authority as provided in Section 17.1,
9 such township and the municipalities within such township
10 shall be paid upon such terms as may be agreed upon by their
11 corporate authorities and the board of commissioners of the
12 Metropolitan Airport Authority, but in no event shall any
13 such township or municipality be paid in excess of its
14 investment or for any funds advanced to such Metropolitan
15 Airport Authority or any pre-existing airport authority it
16 has acquired, or otherwise paid or expended, either directly
17 or indirectly, by the State or federal governments for the
18 acquisition of the land used for any such existing airport
19 improvement or facility or for any bonded indebtedness owed
20 by the Metropolitan Airport Authority or the pre-existing
21 airport authority. The terms of payment shall provide for
22 payment in full within not more than 20 years from the date
23 of such agreement.
24 In case the amount and terms of payment are not so
25 determined by agreement, the board of commissioners of the
26 Authority shall cause a description of such airport and such
27 existing improvements and facilities to be made, together
28 with an estimate of the previous actual expenditures of the
29 pre-existing authority therefor, less any existing bonded
30 indebtedness of the pre-existing authority, and shall tender
31 payment of the total amount so estimated in writing to such
-2- LRB9204854MWdv
1 township and municipalities in the proportions specified
2 below. Such tender shall provide for payment by the
3 Authority of the amount tendered within 5 years from the date
4 thereof, and any part of the sum remaining unpaid after 12
5 months from that date shall bear interest at a rate not to
6 exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization
7 Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract.
8 In case such tender is not accepted in writing by the
9 corporate authorities of such township and municipalities
10 within 30 days after it is made, the Authority by its board
11 of commissioners shall file a petition in the circuit court
12 of the county in which the airport facilities of the
13 Authority are located, naming such township and
14 municipalities respondents thereto, setting forth a
15 description of such airport, airport improvements and
16 facilities, the estimated amount of such previous
17 expenditures by the pre-existing authority, the amount of
18 bonded indebtedness owed by the pre-existing authority, the
19 fact of such tender having been made and the date thereof,
20 and praying that there be determined by the circuit court the
21 true amount of such prior expenditures by the pre-existing
22 authority. A copy of the petition shall be served upon the
23 presiding officer of the township and each municipality
24 within 5 days after the filing of such petition, and upon
25 presentation to the court of proof of such service, the
26 petition shall be set for hearing within not less than 10 nor
27 more than 20 days. Such hearing may be continued from time
28 to time upon the request of the petitioner or the
29 respondents, and at the hearing thereon, the presiding judge
30 of the circuit court shall consider such evidence as may be
31 submitted by the parties and shall determine the amount of
32 such actual previous expenditures made and the actual amount
33 of bonded indebtedness owed, and shall determine the amount
34 to be paid to the township and to each included municipality.
-3- LRB9204854MWdv
1 The amount so determined shall be conclusive as between the
2 parties, and shall be paid by the Metropolitan Airport
3 Authority within 5 years after the entry of the order making
4 such determination, and any part of the sum remaining unpaid
5 after 12 months from the entry of the order shall bear
6 interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate authorized
7 by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the
8 making of the contract. When paid, the sum shall be accepted
9 by the township or municipality as full payment for such
10 airport and existing improvements and facilities.
11 The moneys monies payable by the Metropolitan Airport
12 Authority under this Section shall be apportioned between the
13 township and its included municipalities on the basis of
14 population as determined by the most recent 1980 federal
15 decennial census. The portion of each included municipality
16 shall be computed on the basis of the ratio of the population
17 of the municipality to the total population of the township.
18 The township's portion shall be computed on the basis of the
19 ratio of the population of the unincorporated areas of the
20 township to the total population of the township.
21 The moneys monies apportioned to any township shall be
22 used exclusively for the purposes stated in Sections 6-701.1
23 through 6-701.9 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the moneys
24 monies apportioned to any municipality shall be used
25 exclusively for the purposes stated in Sections 7-202.1
26 through 7-202.22 of the Illinois Highway Code.
27 With respect to instruments for the payment of money
28 issued under this Section either before, on, or after the
29 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989, it is and
30 always has been the intention of the General Assembly (i)
31 that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
32 supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in
33 accordance with the Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any
34 provision of this Act that may appear to be or to have been
-4- LRB9204854MWdv
1 more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of
2 this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
3 authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that
4 instruments issued under this Section within the
5 supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are
6 not invalid because of any provision of this Act that may
7 appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those
8 Acts.

17 (620 ILCS 5/42) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 22.42)
18 Sec. 42. Regulation of aircraft, airmen, and airports.
19 (a) The general public interest and safety, the safety
20 of persons operating, using, or traveling in, aircraft, and
21 of persons and property on the ground, and the interest of
22 aeronautical progress require requiring that aircraft
23 operated within this State should be airworthy, that airmen
24 should be properly qualified, and that air navigation
25 facilities should be suitable for the purposes for which they
26 are designed.; The purposes of this Act require requiring
27 that the Department should be enabled to exercise the powers
28 of regulation and supervision herein granted.; The advantage
29 of uniform regulation makes making it desirable that aircraft
30 operated within this State should conform with respect to
31 design, construction, and airworthiness to the standards
32 prescribed by the United States Government with respect to
33 civil aircraft subject to its jurisdiction and that persons
-12- LRB9204854MWdv
1 engaging in aeronautics within this State should have the
2 qualifications necessary for obtaining and holding
3 appropriate airman certificates of the United States. It is;
4 and it being desirable and right that all applicable fees and
5 taxes shall be paid with respect to aircraft operated within
6 this State.
7 (b) In light of the findings in subsection (a),; the
8 Department is authorized:
9 (1) To require the registration, every 2 years, of
10 federal licenses, certificates or permits of civil
11 aircraft engaged in air navigation within this State, and
12 of airmen engaged in aeronautics within this State, and
13 to issue certificates of such registration. These
14 certificates of registration constitute the authorization
15 of such aircraft and airmen for operations within this
16 State to the extent permitted by the federal licenses,
17 certificates or permits so registered. It shall charge a
18 fee, payable every 2 years, for the registration of each
19 federal license, certificate or permit of $10 for each
20 airman's certificate and $20 for each aircraft
21 certificate. It may accept as evidence of the holding of
22 a federal license, certificate or permit the verified
23 application of the airman or the owner of the aircraft,
24 which application shall contain such information as the
25 Department may by rule, ruling, regulation, order or
26 decision prescribe. The Department's authority to
27 register aircraft or to issue certificates of
28 registration is limited as follows:
29 (i) Except as to any aircraft vehicle
30 purchased before March 8, 1963, the Department, in
31 the case of the first registration of any aircraft
32 vehicle for any given owner on or after March 8,
33 1963, may not issue a certificate of registration
34 with respect to any aircraft vehicle until after the
-13- LRB9204854MWdv
1 Department has been satisfied that no tax under the
2 Use Tax Act, or the Municipal Use Tax Act, or the
3 Home Rule County Use Tax Law County Use Tax Act is
4 owing by reason of the use of the vehicle in
5 Illinois or that any tax so imposed has been paid. A
6 receipt issued under those Acts by the Department of
7 Revenue constitutes proof of payment of the tax. For
8 the purpose of this paragraph subsection, "aircraft
9 vehicle" means a single aircraft.
10 (ii) If the proof of payment of the tax or of
11 nonliability therefor is, after the issuance of the
12 certificate of registration, found to be invalid,
13 the Department shall revoke the certificate and
14 require that the certificate be returned to the
15 Department.
16 (2) To classify and approve airports and restricted
17 landing areas and any alterations or extensions thereof.
18 Certificates of approval issued pursuant to this
19 paragraph, or pursuant to any prior law, shall be issued
20 in the name of the applicant and shall be transferable
21 upon a change of ownership or control of the airport or
22 restricted landing area only after approval of the
23 Department. No charge or fee shall be made or imposed for
24 any kind of certificate of approval or a transfer
25 thereof.
26 (3) To temporarily or permanently revoke,
27 temporarily or permanently, any certificate of
28 registration of an aircraft or airman issued by it, or to
29 refuse to issue any such certificate of registration,
30 when it shall reasonably determine that any aircraft is
31 not airworthy, or that any airman:
32 (i) is not qualified;,
33 (ii) has willfully wilfully violated the laws
34 of this State pertaining to aeronautics or any
-14- LRB9204854MWdv
1 rules, rulings, regulations, orders, or decisions
2 issued pursuant thereto, or any Federal law or any
3 rule or regulation issued pursuant thereto;,
4 (iii) is addicted to the use of narcotics or
5 other habit forming drug, or to the excessive use of
6 intoxicating liquor;,
7 (iv) has made any false statement in any
8 application for registration of a federal license,
9 certificate or permit;, or
10 (v) has been guilty of other conduct, acts, or
11 practices dangerous to the public safety or and the
12 safety of those engaged in aeronautics.
13 (c) The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend
14 the certificate of any person who fails to file a return, or
15 to pay the tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed return,
16 or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or interest,
17 as required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois
18 Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of
19 any such tax Act are satisfied.

26 finding based upon evidence submitted to the court, and
27 identified by reference thereto, that great or irreparable
28 damage would otherwise result to the petitioner, and
29 specifying the nature of the damage.
