AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 421
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 421 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Airport Authorities Act is amended by
changing Section 8.14 and by adding Section 8.12a as follows:
(70 ILCS 5/8.12a new)
Sec. 8.12a. Drones. To regulate the movement of drones, as
defined in Section 5 of the Freedom from Drone Surveillance

the incorporated territory of the authority.
(70 ILCS 5/8.14) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 68.8-14)
Sec. 8.14. Rules and regulations adopted under and in
pursuance of the powers granted by Sections 8.10, 8.11, and
8.12, and 8.12a must be contained in an ordinance which shall
be placed on file in the office of the Authority in typewritten

10000SB0421sam001 - 2 - LRB100 05034 AWJ 22641 a
or printed form for public inspection not less than 15 days
before adoption. Such ordinance may prescribe such fines as the
Board of Commissioners deems appropriate of not less than $1
nor more than $200, or not less than $100 nor more than $1,000
for violations concerning the movement of drones, upon
conviction for each offense, and may provide that, in case of
continuing violation of any such rule or regulation, each
calendar day that such violation continues constitutes a
separate offense.
Notice of the filing of and public hearing upon any
ordinance prescribing fines or penalties and of the date and
time for its being publicly heard shall be published one time
in a newspaper generally circulated within the Authority not
more than 30 nor less than 15 days prior to the date of such
hearing. Such ordinance may be amended at the public hearing
and may be later amended where no new rule or regulation is
adopted or existing fine or penalty modified, without
pre-filing or publication of notice prior to the adoption of
the amendatory ordinance. After adoption, typewritten or
printed copies of each ordinance of an authority which
prescribes fines or penalties shall be made available at the
office of the authority for distribution upon request.
All fines, when collected, for violations of any such
ordinance of an authority shall be paid into its treasury.
