SB286 Enrolled LRB9103071MWdv
AN ACT to amend the Airport Authorities Act.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Airport Authorities Act is amended by
changing Section 2.7 as follows:
(70 ILCS 5/2.7) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 68.2g)
Sec. 2.7. Metropolitan Airport Authority.
(a) Upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1986, in any county with a population between 600,000 and
3,000,000 and contiguous to a county with a population in
excess of 1,000,000 inhabitants, a Metropolitan Airport
Authority is hereby established, the territory of which shall
include all of the territory within the corporate limits of
the county and the territory of any pre-existing authority
located partly within and partly outside the county, except
the territory of any municipality whose territory lies both
inside and outside the county with the majority of the
territory lying outside the county. Upon that date, the
Metropolitan Airport Authority shall be deemed an organized
Airport Authority under this Act. Within 30 days after the
initial appointments have been made under Section 3.4, the
Authority board shall notify the office of the Secretary of
State of the establishment of the Metropolitan Airport
Authority by this amendatory Act of 1986, who shall thereupon
issue a certificate of incorporation to the Authority.
(b) If all of the airport facilities of an existing
Airport Authority are situated within the corporate limits of
a county in which a Metropolitan Airport Authority is
established, the existing Airport Authority shall be
dissolved upon the establishment of the Metropolitan Airport
Authority. In such event the rights to all property and all
assets and liabilities, including bonded indebtedness, of the
existing Airport Authority shall be assumed by the
Metropolitan Airport Authority.
(c) (Blank). The Illinois Department of Transportation
shall conduct or cause to be conducted an annual program
audit of the Metropolitan Airport Authority for each fiscal
year of the Authority, beginning with 1993. The audits shall
be conducted in accordance with generally accepted
governmental auditing standards and shall include an
examination of supporting books and records and a
representative sample of vouchers for distributions and
expenditures. An audit report shall be prepared for each
audit conducted pursuant to this Section, and a copy shall be
kept on file at the Illinois Department of Transportation and
furnished to the Metropolitan Airport Authority. All audit
reports shall be made available to the public by the Illinois
Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Airport
Authority upon request.
Within 90 days after an audit required under this
subsection has been completed, the Metropolitan Airport
Authority shall reimburse the Illinois Department of
Transportation for all costs incurred by the Department
arising out of the conduct of the audit. Costs incurred by
the Illinois Department of Transportation may be paid from
any moneys available to the Department for that purpose; the
reimbursement received from the Metropolitan Airport
Authority for those costs shall be deposited into the fund or
funds from which the costs were paid by the Department.
