    AN ACT to amend the Redevelopment Project  Rehousing  Act
by changing the title and Sections 0.01 and 2.

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

    Section 5.  The Redevelopment Project  Rehousing  Act  is
amended  by  changing  the  title  and Sections 0.01 and 2 as
follows:

    (310 ILCS 30/Act title)
    An Act in relation to rehousing persons residing  in  the
areas  of  redevelopment  projects undertaken pursuant to the
"Blighted Areas Redevelopment Act of  1947"  enacted  by  the
Sixty-fifth  General  Assembly,  and to provide for state and
municipal contributions therefor, and capital improvements to
the projects built pursuant to this Act.

    (310 ILCS 30/0.01) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 91.990)
    Sec. 0.01.  Short title.  This Act may be  cited  as  the
Redevelopment Project Rehousing and Capital Improvements Act.
(Source: P.A. 86-1324.)

    (310 ILCS 30/2) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 93)
    Sec.   2.    Any  housing  authority  may  apply  to  the
Department of Commerce and Community Affairs for the grant of
a sum from the amount to be  appropriated  for  this  Act  to
develop housing projects pursuant to the "Housing Authorities
Act",  approved March 19, 1934, as amended, to facilitate and
aid in the rehousing of persons eligible  for  tenancy  under
said  Act residing in the site of a redevelopment project who
could  not  otherwise  be  rehoused  in  decent,   safe   and
uncongested  dwelling  accommodations  within their financial
reach.
    Upon a showing  of  need  of  a  grant  from  the  amount
appropriated for this Act and that the sum so granted will be
satisfactorily  employed  by  the  housing  authority  in the
development of housing projects for the  purposes  authorized
by  this  Act, the Director of the Department of Commerce and
Community Affairs shall transmit to the State  Comptroller  a
statement  of  approval  and  of the amount of the grant, and
when the municipality has paid to the  housing  authority  an
amount  at  least  equal to the amount of the approved grant,
the Comptroller shall pay the amount of the approved grant to
the housing authority from the appropriation for grants under
this Act.  Such payment completes all obligations assumed  by
the  State  under  the provisions of this Act.  The amount so
granted together with the amount  contributed  by  the  city,
village  or  incorporated  town  in  which  the redevelopment
project is situated shall be deposited in a separate fund and
shall be applied  only  to  the  planning,  acquisition,  and
development, and capital improvements of the approved housing
project  or  projects for the purposes authorized by this Act
and the Housing Authorities  Act.   The  expenditure  of  any
moneys  from  such  separate  fund  and  the  location of the
rehousing  project  or  projects  shall  be  subject  to  the
approval of the Department of Commerce and Community  Affairs
and  the  governing  body  of  the  municipality in which the
redevelopment project is located.

    Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect  upon
becoming law.
