1 | AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Local | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Government Bankruptcy Neutral Evaluation Act.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Section 3. Findings. Filing for Chapter 9 can reduce | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | service levels to the taxpayers and residents of a local public | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | entity. In some circumstances, it can have major short-term and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | long-term fiscal consequences for the entity, the surrounding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | entities, and the State. Filing for bankruptcy protection under | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Chapter 9 should be considered a last resort, to be instituted | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | only after other reasonable efforts have been made to avoid a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | bankruptcy filing or otherwise appropriately plan for it. It is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | in the interest of the State, units of local government, and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | the public that local governmental entities have sufficiently | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | sound financial capacity to provide required services to the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | public during any restructuring or financial reorganization | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | process. Furthermore, it is in the best interest of the public, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | the State, and local governmental entities that employees, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | trade creditors, bondholders, and other interest-holders be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | included in an appropriate restructuring process and have an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | adequate understanding of the financial capacity of local | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | governmental entities and their obligations, as a clear |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | understanding of both is necessary for any restructuring or | ||||||
2 | reorganization process. | ||||||
3 | To the extent financial relief granted through Chapter 9 | ||||||
4 | can affect debt service payments, the bondholders have a direct | ||||||
5 | interest in the Chapter 9 process, particularly prior to | ||||||
6 | filing. Therefore, it is important for those parties to be able | ||||||
7 | to participate in a prefiling confidential neutral evaluation | ||||||
8 | process that could assist parties in reaching a settlement and | ||||||
9 | avoiding a bankruptcy filing or otherwise lead to a | ||||||
10 | pre-negotiated consensual plan of readjustment as clearly | ||||||
11 | contemplated by subsection (c) of Section 109 of Title 11 of | ||||||
12 | the United States Code. | ||||||
13 | To the extent financial relief granted through Chapter 9 | ||||||
14 | could affect public employee compensation, employees have a | ||||||
15 | direct interest in the Chapter 9 process, particularly prior to | ||||||
16 | filing.
Therefore, it is important for those parties to be able | ||||||
17 | to participate in a prefiling confidential neutral evaluation | ||||||
18 | process that could assist parties in reaching a settlement or | ||||||
19 | otherwise lead to a pre-negotiated consensual plan of | ||||||
20 | adjustment and avoid a Chapter 9 filing. | ||||||
21 | Given the connection between State allocations and local | ||||||
22 | budgets, the State has a role in assisting local public | ||||||
23 | entities to address potential insolvency with the goal of | ||||||
24 | averting bankruptcy filings where possible and providing a | ||||||
25 | process designed to make the debt restructuring process in or | ||||||
26 | outside of a Chapter 9 bankruptcy as cost effective and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | efficient as possible for all participants.
| ||||||
2 | Illinois taxpayers who rely on public safety, senior, | ||||||
3 | recreational, health, library, and other public services, as | ||||||
4 | well as those who own and operate businesses in our | ||||||
5 | communities, deserve every reasonable and appropriate effort | ||||||
6 | that State and local government can make to avoid adverse | ||||||
7 | consequences of Chapter 9 bankruptcy filings, particularly | ||||||
8 | where a neutral evaluation may lead to the avoidance of Chapter | ||||||
9 | 9 filing by an out-of-court resolution of outstanding | ||||||
10 | obligations and disputes.
| ||||||
11 | Resolving local and State business and financial issues in | ||||||
12 | a timely, fair, and cost-effective manner is an integral part | ||||||
13 | of a successful government and is in the public interest. It | ||||||
14 | has long been recognized that alternative dispute resolution | ||||||
15 | proceedings, like a neutral evaluation, offer an economical, | ||||||
16 | discreet, and expeditious way to resolve potentially | ||||||
17 | devastating situations.
| ||||||
18 | Through the neutral evaluation process, the neutral | ||||||
19 | evaluator, a specially trained, neutral third party, can assist | ||||||
20 | the local public entity and its creditors and stakeholders to | ||||||
21 | fully explore alternatives, while allowing the interested | ||||||
22 | parties to exchange information in a confidential environment | ||||||
23 | with the assistance and supervision of a neutral evaluator to | ||||||
24 | determine whether the entity's contractual and financial | ||||||
25 | obligations can be renegotiated on a consensual basis.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 5. Definitions. As used in this Act: | ||||||
2 | "Chapter 9" means Chapter 9 of Title 11 of the United | ||||||
3 | States Code. | ||||||
4 | "Creditor" means either of the following: | ||||||
5 | A person or entity that has a noncontingent claim | ||||||
6 | against a local public entity that arose at the time of or | ||||||
7 | before the commencement of the neutral evaluation process | ||||||
8 | and whose claim represents at least $5,000,000 or comprises | ||||||
9 | more than 5% of the local public entity's debt or | ||||||
10 | obligations, whichever is less. | ||||||
11 | A person or entity that would have a noncontingent | ||||||
12 | claim against the local public entity upon the rejection of | ||||||
13 | an executory contract or unexpired lease in a Chapter 9 | ||||||
14 | case and whose claim would represent at least $5,000,000 or | ||||||
15 | comprises more than 5% of the local public entity's debt or | ||||||
16 | obligations, whichever is less. | ||||||
17 | "Debtor" means a local public entity that may file for | ||||||
18 | bankruptcy under Chapter 9. | ||||||
19 | "Good faith" means participation by a party in the neutral | ||||||
20 | evaluation process with the intent to negotiate toward a | ||||||
21 | resolution of the issues that are the subject of the neutral | ||||||
22 | evaluation process, including the timely provision of complete | ||||||
23 | and accurate information to provide the relevant parties | ||||||
24 | through the neutral evaluation process with sufficient | ||||||
25 | information, in a confidential manner, to negotiate the | ||||||
26 | readjustment of the local public entity's debt.

2 | creditors, an affected creditor, an indenture trustee, a | ||||||
3 | pension fund, a bondholder, a union that, under its collective | ||||||

6 | or a representative selected by an association of retired | ||||||
7 | employees of the local public entity who receive income from | ||||||
8 | the local public entity convening the neutral evaluation. A | ||||||
9 | local public entity may invite holders of contingent claims to | ||||||
10 | participate as interested parties in the neutral evaluation if | ||||||
11 | the local public entity determines that the contingency is | ||||||
12 | likely to occur and the claim may represent $5,000,000 or | ||||||
13 | comprise more than 5% of the local public entity's debt or | ||||||
14 | obligations, whichever is less.
| ||||||
15 | "Local public entity" means any county, municipality, | ||||||
16 | township, special district, public authority, public agency, | ||||||
17 | unit of local government, school district, or any other entity | ||||||
18 | that is a political subdivision or public agency or | ||||||
19 | instrumentality of the State, or that qualifies as a debtor | ||||||
20 | under any other federal bankruptcy law applicable to local | ||||||
21 | public entities. | ||||||
22 | "Local public entity representative" means the person or | ||||||
23 | persons designated by the local public entity with authority to | ||||||
24 | make recommendations and to attend the neutral evaluation on | ||||||
25 | behalf of the governing body of the local public entity.
| ||||||
26 | "Neutral evaluation" is a form of non-binding alternative |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | dispute resolution.
| ||||||
2 | Section 10. Eligibility. A local public entity in this | ||||||
3 | State may file a petition and exercise powers pursuant to | ||||||
4 | applicable federal bankruptcy law if either of the following | ||||||
5 | apply:
(i) pursuant to Section 15, a neutral evaluation process | ||||||
6 | has been initiated by the local public entity and has ended, or
| ||||||
7 | (ii) the local public entity declares a fiscal emergency and | ||||||
8 | adopts a resolution by a majority vote of the governing board | ||||||
9 | pursuant to Section 20.
| ||||||
10 | Section 15. Neutral evaluation process. | ||||||
11 | (a) A local public entity may initiate the neutral | ||||||
12 | evaluation process if the local public entity is or likely will | ||||||
13 | become unable to meet its financial obligations as and when | ||||||
14 | those obligations are due or become due and owing. The local | ||||||
15 | public entity shall initiate the neutral evaluation by | ||||||
16 | providing notice by certified mail of a request for neutral | ||||||
17 | evaluation to interested parties, as defined in Section 5.
| ||||||
18 | (b) Interested parties shall respond within 10 business | ||||||
19 | days after receipt of notice of the local public entity's | ||||||
20 | request for neutral evaluation. | ||||||
21 | (c) The local public entity and the interested parties | ||||||
22 | agreeing to participate in the neutral evaluation shall, | ||||||
23 | through a mutually agreed upon process, select the neutral | ||||||
24 | evaluator to oversee the neutral evaluation process and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facilitate all discussions in an effort to resolve their | ||||||
2 | disputes. | ||||||
3 | If the local public entity and interested parties fail to | ||||||
4 | agree on a neutral evaluator within 7 days after the interested | ||||||
5 | parties have responded to the notification sent by the local | ||||||
6 | public entity, the local public entity shall select 5 qualified | ||||||
7 | neutral evaluators and provide their names, references, and | ||||||
8 | backgrounds to the participating interested parties. Within 3 | ||||||
9 | business days, a majority of participating interested parties | ||||||
10 | may strike up to 4 names from the list. If a majority of | ||||||
11 | participating interested parties strikes 4 names, the | ||||||
12 | remaining candidate shall be the neutral evaluator. If the | ||||||
13 | majority of participating parties strikes fewer than 4 names, | ||||||
14 | the local public entity may choose which of the remaining | ||||||
15 | candidates shall be the neutral evaluator.
| ||||||
16 | (d) A neutral evaluator shall have experience and training | ||||||
17 | in conflict resolution and alternative dispute resolution and | ||||||
18 | shall meet at least one of the following qualifications: | ||||||
19 | (1) at least 10 years of high-level business or legal | ||||||
20 | practice involving bankruptcy or service as a United States | ||||||
21 | Bankruptcy Judge; or | ||||||
22 | (2) professional experience or training in local | ||||||
23 | government finance and one or more of the following areas: | ||||||
24 | local government organization, local government debt | ||||||
25 | restructuring, local government finances dispute | ||||||
26 | resolution, Chapter 9 bankruptcy, public finance, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxation, Illinois Constitutional law, Illinois labor law, | ||||||
2 | or federal labor law. | ||||||
3 | (e) The neutral evaluator shall be impartial, objective, | ||||||
4 | independent, and free from prejudice. The neutral evaluator | ||||||
5 | shall not act with partiality or prejudice based on any | ||||||
6 | participant's personal characteristics, background, values or | ||||||
7 | beliefs, or performance during the neutral evaluation process. | ||||||
8 | (f) The neutral evaluator shall avoid a conflict of | ||||||
9 | interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest during the | ||||||
10 | neutral evaluation process. The neutral evaluator shall make a | ||||||
11 | reasonable inquiry to determine whether there are any facts | ||||||
12 | that a reasonable individual would consider likely to create a | ||||||
13 | potential or actual conflict of interest. Notwithstanding | ||||||
14 | subsection (n) of this Section, if the neutral evaluator is | ||||||
15 | informed of the existence of any facts that a reasonable | ||||||
16 | individual would consider likely to create a potential or | ||||||
17 | actual conflict of interest, the neutral evaluator shall | ||||||
18 | disclose these facts in writing to the local public entity and | ||||||
19 | all interested parties involved in the neutral evaluation. If | ||||||
20 | any party to the neutral evaluation objects to the neutral | ||||||
21 | evaluator, that party shall notify all other parties to the | ||||||
22 | neutral evaluation, including the neutral evaluator, within 15 | ||||||
23 | days after receipt of the notice from the neutral evaluator, | ||||||
24 | and the neutral evaluator shall withdraw and a new neutral | ||||||
25 | evaluator shall be selected pursuant to subsections (c) and (d) | ||||||
26 | of this Section.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) Prior to the neutral evaluation process, the neutral | ||||||
2 | evaluator shall not establish another relationship with any of | ||||||
3 | the parties in a manner that would raise questions about the | ||||||
4 | integrity of the neutral evaluation, except that the neutral | ||||||
5 | evaluator may conduct further neutral evaluations regarding | ||||||
6 | other potential local public entities that may involve some of | ||||||
7 | the same or similar constituents to a prior mediation. | ||||||
8 | (h) The neutral evaluator shall conduct the neutral | ||||||
9 | evaluation process in a manner that promotes voluntary, | ||||||
10 | uncoerced decision-making in which each party makes free and | ||||||
11 | informed choices regarding the process and outcome.
| ||||||
12 | (i) The neutral evaluator shall not impose a settlement on | ||||||
13 | the parties. The neutral evaluator shall use his or her best | ||||||
14 | efforts to assist the parties to reach a satisfactory | ||||||
15 | resolution of their disputes. Subject to the discretion of the | ||||||
16 | neutral evaluator, the neutral evaluator may make oral or | ||||||
17 | written recommendations for settlement or plan of readjustment | ||||||
18 | to a party privately or to all parties jointly.
| ||||||
19 | (j) The neutral evaluator shall inform the local public | ||||||
20 | entity and all parties of the provisions of Chapter 9 relative | ||||||
21 | to other chapters of the Bankruptcy Code. This instruction | ||||||
22 | shall highlight the limited authority of United States | ||||||
23 | bankruptcy judges in Chapter 9.
| ||||||
24 | (k) The neutral evaluator may request from the parties | ||||||
25 | documentation and other information that the neutral evaluator | ||||||
26 | believes may be helpful in assisting the parties to address the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | obligations between them. This documentation may include the | ||||||
2 | status of funds of the local public entity that clearly | ||||||
3 | distinguishes between general funds and special funds, and the | ||||||
4 | proposed plan of readjustment prepared by the local public | ||||||
5 | entity.
| ||||||
6 | (l) The neutral evaluator shall provide counsel and | ||||||
7 | guidance to all parties, shall not be a legal representative of | ||||||
8 | any party, and shall not have a fiduciary duty to any party.
| ||||||
9 | (m) In the event of a settlement with all interested | ||||||
10 | parties, the neutral evaluator may assist the parties in | ||||||
11 | negotiating a pre-petitioned, pre-agreed plan of readjustment | ||||||
12 | in connection with a potential Chapter 9 filing.
| ||||||
13 | (n) If at any time during the neutral evaluation process | ||||||
14 | the local public entity and a majority of the representatives | ||||||
15 | of the interested parties participating in the neutral | ||||||
16 | evaluation wish to remove the neutral evaluator, the local | ||||||
17 | public entity or any interested party may make a request to the | ||||||
18 | other interested parties to remove the neutral evaluator. If | ||||||
19 | the local public entity and the majority of the interested | ||||||
20 | parties agree that the neutral evaluator should be removed, the | ||||||
21 | parties shall select a new neutral evaluator. | ||||||
22 | (o) The local public entity and all interested parties | ||||||
23 | participating in the neutral evaluation process shall | ||||||
24 | negotiate in good faith.
Failure to do so is grounds for ending | ||||||
25 | the neutral evaluation process and satisfying the eligibility | ||||||
26 | requirements of item (i) of Section 10. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (p) The local public entity and interested parties shall | ||||||
2 | provide a representative of each party to attend all neutral | ||||||
3 | evaluation sessions. Each representative shall have the | ||||||
4 | authority to settle and resolve disputes or shall be in a | ||||||
5 | position to present any proposed settlement or plan of | ||||||
6 | readjustment to the parties participating in the neutral | ||||||
7 | evaluation.
| ||||||
8 | (q) The parties shall maintain the confidentiality of the | ||||||
9 | neutral evaluation process and shall not disclose statements | ||||||
10 | made, information disclosed, or documents prepared or | ||||||
11 | produced, during the neutral evaluation process, at the | ||||||
12 | conclusion of the neutral evaluation process or during any | ||||||
13 | bankruptcy proceeding unless either of the following occur:
| ||||||
14 | (i) all persons that conduct or otherwise participate | ||||||
15 | in the neutral evaluation expressly agree in writing to | ||||||
16 | disclosure of the communication, document, or writing; or
| ||||||
17 | (ii) the information is deemed necessary by a judge | ||||||
18 | presiding over a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Chapter | ||||||
19 | 9 of Title 11 of the United States Code to determine | ||||||
20 | eligibility of a local public entity to proceed with a | ||||||
21 | bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to subsection (c) of | ||||||
22 | Section 109 of Title 11 of the United States Code.
| ||||||
23 | (r) The neutral evaluation established by this process | ||||||
24 | shall not last for more than 60 days after the date the | ||||||
25 | evaluator is selected, unless the local public entity or a | ||||||
26 | majority of participating interested parties elect to extend |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the process for up to 30 additional days. The neutral | ||||||
2 | evaluation process shall not last for more than 90 days after | ||||||
3 | the date the evaluator is selected unless the local public | ||||||
4 | entity and a majority of the interested parties agree to an | ||||||
5 | extension.
| ||||||
6 | (s) The local public entity shall pay 50% of the costs of | ||||||
7 | neutral evaluation, including but not limited to the fees of | ||||||
8 | the evaluator, and the creditors shall pay the balance, unless | ||||||
9 | otherwise agreed to by the parties.
| ||||||
10 | (t) The neutral evaluation process shall end if any of the | ||||||
11 | following occur:
| ||||||
12 | (i) the parties execute a settlement agreement; | ||||||
13 | (ii) the parties reach an agreement or proposed plan of | ||||||
14 | readjustment that requires the approval of a bankruptcy | ||||||
15 | judge; | ||||||
16 | (iii) the neutral evaluation process has exceeded the | ||||||
17 | later of (i) 60 days after the date the neutral evaluator | ||||||
18 | was selected, or (ii) 90 days after the initiation of the | ||||||
19 | neutral evaluation process by the local public entity | ||||||
20 | pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 15, the parties have | ||||||
21 | not reached an agreement, and the local public entity and a | ||||||
22 | majority of the interested parties do not agree to extend | ||||||
23 | the neutral evaluation process;
| ||||||
24 | (iv) the local public entity initiated the neutral | ||||||
25 | evaluation process pursuant to subsection (a) of this | ||||||
26 | Section and received no responses from interested parties |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | within the time specified in subsection (b) of this | ||||||
2 | Section; or
| ||||||
3 | (v) the fiscal condition of the local public entity | ||||||
4 | deteriorates to the point that a fiscal emergency is | ||||||
5 | declared pursuant to Section 20 and necessitates the need | ||||||
6 | to file a petition and exercise powers pursuant to | ||||||
7 | applicable federal bankruptcy law.
| ||||||
8 | Section 20. Declaration of fiscal emergency. | ||||||
9 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a local public | ||||||
10 | entity may file a petition and exercise powers pursuant to | ||||||
11 | applicable federal bankruptcy law, if the local public entity | ||||||
12 | declares a fiscal emergency and adopts a resolution by a | ||||||
13 | majority vote of the governing board at a noticed public | ||||||
14 | hearing that includes findings that the financial state of the | ||||||
15 | local public entity jeopardizes the health, safety, or | ||||||
16 | well-being of the residents of the local public entity's | ||||||
17 | jurisdiction or service area absent the protections of Chapter | ||||||
18 | 9. The resolution shall make findings that the local public | ||||||
19 | entity is or will be unable to pay its obligations within the | ||||||
20 | next 60 days. Prior to a declaration of fiscal emergency and | ||||||
21 | adoption of a resolution, the local public entity shall place | ||||||
22 | an item on the agenda of a noticed public hearing on the fiscal | ||||||
23 | condition of the local public entity to take public comment. | ||||||
24 | The board of supervisors of a county that intends to take | ||||||
25 | action pursuant to this Section and places a notice on an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agenda regarding a proposed resolution to declare a fiscal | ||||||
2 | emergency may require local agencies with funds invested in the | ||||||
3 | county treasury to provide a 5-day notice of withdrawal before | ||||||
4 | the county is required to comply with a request for withdrawal | ||||||
5 | of funds by that local agency.
| ||||||
6 | Section 25. Liabilities. This Act shall not impose any | ||||||
7 | liability or responsibility, in law or equity, upon the State, | ||||||
8 | any department, agency, or other entity of the State, or any | ||||||
9 | officer or employee of the State, for any action taken by any | ||||||
10 | local public entity pursuant to this Act, for any violation of | ||||||
11 | the provisions of this Act by any local public entity, or for | ||||||
12 | any failure to comply with the provisions of this Act by any | ||||||
13 | local public entity. No action against the State, or any | ||||||
14 | department, agency, entity of the State, or any officer or | ||||||
15 | employee of the State acting in their official capacity may be | ||||||
16 | maintained for any activity authorized by this Act, or for the | ||||||
17 | act of a local public entity filing under Chapter 9 of Title 11 | ||||||
18 | of the United States Code, including any proceeding following a | ||||||
19 | local public entity's filing.
| ||||||
20 | Section 30. Confidential Information. All records, | ||||||
21 | including without limitation all reports, writings, letters, | ||||||
22 | memoranda, and other documentary materials, that are prepared | ||||||
23 | for or used in connection with the neutral evaluation process, | ||||||
24 | the filing of a federal bankruptcy petition, or other actions |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taken by a local public entity or a neutral evaluator under | ||||||
2 | this Act are exempt from disclosure, inspection, and copying | ||||||
3 | under the Freedom of Information Act.
| ||||||
4 | Section 35. Statutory lien for bonds. | ||||||
5 | (a) As used in this Section: | ||||||
6 | "Bond" or "bonds" has the same meaning given to that term | ||||||
7 | under Section 3 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act. | ||||||
8 | "Statutory lien" shall have the meaning given to that term | ||||||
9 | under 11 Section 101(53) of the federal Bankruptcy Code. | ||||||
10 | (b) All bonds, including general obligation bonds and | ||||||
11 | revenue bonds issued and sold under the Local Government Debt | ||||||
12 | Reform Act or related laws, including bonds issued under home | ||||||
13 | rule powers, issued by a local public entity shall be secured | ||||||
14 | by a statutory lien on all revenues received pursuant to the | ||||||
15 | levy and collection of tax or the collection or deposit of | ||||||
16 | money, funds, or revenues so pledged to the payment of the | ||||||
17 | bonds. The statutory lien shall automatically attach from the | ||||||
18 | time such pledge is made without further action or | ||||||
19 | authorization by the governing authority of the local public | ||||||
20 | entity. The statutory lien shall be valid and binding from the | ||||||
21 | time the bonds are executed and delivered without any physical | ||||||
22 | delivery thereof or further act required, and shall be a first | ||||||
23 | priority lien, unless the bonds so otherwise provide. | ||||||
24 | The revenues received pursuant to the levy and collection | ||||||
25 | of the taxes or the collection or deposit of revenues, money, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or funds so pledged shall be immediately subject to the | ||||||
2 | statutory lien, and the statutory lien shall automatically | ||||||
3 | attach to the revenues and be effective, binding, and | ||||||
4 | enforceable against the local public entity or its successors, | ||||||
5 | transferees, and creditors, and all others asserting rights | ||||||
6 | therein or having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or | ||||||
7 | otherwise against the local public entity, irrespective of | ||||||
8 | whether those parties have notice of the lien and without the | ||||||
9 | need for any physical delivery, recordation, filing, or further | ||||||
10 | act. In addition, revenue bonds issued by a local public entity | ||||||
11 | under the Local Government Debt Reform Act or related laws, | ||||||
12 | including bonds issued by a local public entity with home rule | ||||||
13 | authority, shall have all of the protection afforded to special | ||||||
14 | revenue under Chapter 9, to the extent applicable.
| ||||||
15 | Section 80. The Open Meetings Act is amended by changing | ||||||
16 | Section 2 as follows:
| ||||||
17 | (5 ILCS 120/2) (from Ch. 102, par. 42)
| ||||||
18 | Sec. 2. Open meetings.
| ||||||
19 | (a) Openness required. All meetings of public
