Abstract

Amends the Regional Planning Act. Removes provisions relating to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning's Wastewater Committee. Provides that approval of four-fifths of the Board of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning members in office is necessary for the Board to take action regarding Agency budget and work plan approval, regional plan approval, annual federally funded program approval, legislative agenda approval, and approval of any matter regarding the executive director, but action on all other matters shall be taken in accordance with the Board's bylaws. Provides that the Board shall continue directly involving local elected officials in federal program allocation decisions for any other federally suballocated funding as required by law (rather than only directly involving local elected officials in federal program allocation decisions for the Surface Transportation Program and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds). Repeals provisions relating to succession and transfers related to the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission and a transition period of the Board.
