Abstract

Amends the Sanitary District Act of 1917. In a Section that provides that a sanitary district may annex certain territory that is contiguous to it, strikes a provision stating that territory that is separated from the sanitary district by only a forest preserve district may be annexed to the sanitary district. Provides that any territory to be annexed to a sanitary district may be considered contiguous to the sanitary district notwithstanding that the territory is separated from the sanitary district by property that is owned by a forest preserve district, a public agency, or a not-for-profit corporation if the property does not require sanitary sewer service. Provides that the property owned by the forest preserve district, public agency, or not-for-profit corporation shall not be considered part of the sanitary district and shall not be subject to rights-of-way without the approval of the legal owner of the property. Effective immediately.
