Public Act 100-0381
HB2828 Enrolled LRB100 10109 MLM 20282 b
AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Park and Recreational Facility Construction
Act of 2009 is amended by changing Section 10-20 as follows:
(30 ILCS 764/10-20)
Sec. 10-20. Priorities for projects. In considering
applications for grants under this Act, the Department shall
give priority to projects that will provide the greatest
benefit to the residents of the State, based upon criteria
established by the Department in rules promulgated pursuant to
this Act which reflect the useful life of existing facilities
and improvements, address public health and safety needs,
correct accessibility deficiencies, and reflect outdoor
recreation needs and priorities, including handicap-accessible
playground equipment, such as ramped, ground-level play
features, accessible swings, wheelchair accessible tables,
adjustable equipment, universally accessible swings, and
transfer platforms, identified through the Department's
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)
Program. The Department shall prioritize projects that create
parks universally designed to meet everyone's needs, ages, and
mobility and where all equipment, and the park itself, is

handicap-accessible over projects that would create parks
where only some equipment, or only the park itself, is
handicap-accessible.
