Amends the Downstate Forest Preserve District Act. Provides that no land owned or acquired by a forest preserve may be used for any sand, gravel, or other mining operation. Prohibits a forest preserve district from transferring any land or interest in land to an entity that the district has reason to know intends to construct any mining operation, and provides that when transferring land to an entity the district must impose a covenant in the transfer that prohibits the development of any mining operation. Exempts any previous or current mining operations in a district from this prohibition.
