Amends the Zoning Division of the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that decisions by the corporate authorities of a municipality in regard to any petition or application for a special use, variance, rezoning, or other amendment to a zoning ordinance shall be subject to judicial review (rather than de novo judicial review as a legislative decision, regardless of whether the process in relation thereto is considered administrative for other purposes) and that principles of substantive and procedural due process that apply in all states of the decision-making and review of zoning decisions include protection against arbitrary or capricious action and protection against disregard of the decision-making body's own ordinances or regulations. Amends the Annexation Agreements Division of the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the corporate authorities of any municipality may enter into an annexation agreement with one or more of the owners of record of land in contiguous unincorporated territory (adding that the territory must be contiguous). Removes provisions allowing an annexation agreement to include language relating to continuation in effect of any ordinance relating to subdivision controls, zoning, official plan, or building, housing, and related restrictions; contributions of either land or monies, or both, to any municipality and to other units of local government having jurisdiction over all or part of land that is the subject matter of any annexation agreement under specified circumstances; or abatement of property taxes. Provides that an annexation agreement may not include any of the following: (1) requiring property to be rezoned after the agreement is approved; (2) forbidding action by a city council or corporate authorities of a municipality after the agreement is approved; or (3) agreements for nonspecific, future projects or actions for any party to the agreement.
