Section 10. The Illinois Aeronautics Act is amended by |
changing Section 34a as follows:
|
(620 ILCS 5/34a) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 22.34a)
|
Sec. 34a.
Financial assistance under Section 34 may also |
include reimbursement
to eligible airport sponsors for the |
construction or upgrading of Automated Weather Observation |
Systems (AWOS) financed in whole or in part by State monies. |
Costs of constructing or upgrading Automated Weather |
Observation Systems prior to the effective date of this |
amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly are eligible for |
State reimbursements provided that all required State |
procedures were followed at the time the project was approved |
by the Department. Financial assistance under Section 34 may |
also include reimbursements to eligible airport sponsors for |
land acquisition costs directly related
to projects financed |
either in whole or in part by federal and State monies,
and for |
engineering costs directly related to projects financed in |

or land acquisition costs by the Department
prior to the |
payment of such costs by

costs for State reimbursement but
shall not constitute an |
obligation of State funds. Costs of land acquisition
by airport |
sponsors prior to the effective date of this amendatory act
of |
1982 are qualified for State reimbursement provided all federal |
