Abstract

Amends the Public Community College Act to require the Illinois Community College Board to establish a new community college district to be comprised of the territory of the former Metropolitan Community College District No. 541 and to be known as Gateway Community College. Provides that the Board may not abolish, restrict, or take over the operation of Gateway Community College without first notifying the General Assembly and receiving permission from the General Assembly for the action. Requires the Board (i) to provide financial and technical assistance to Gateway Community College in becoming established, (ii) to transfer to Gateway Community College all documents, equipment, and books and any other personal property that was in the possession of or owned by the former Metropolitan Community College District No. 541 at the time that it was abolished, and (iii) to convey to Gateway Community College the real estate and improvements that comprised the campus of former Metropolitan Community College District No. 541 at the time that it was abolished.
