A BILL FOR
SB1233 LRB102 05038 HEP 15057 b
AN ACT concerning transportation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Toll Highway Act is amended by changing
Section 3 as follows:
(605 ILCS 10/3) (from Ch. 121, par. 100-3)
Sec. 3. There is hereby created an Authority to be known as
The The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, which is hereby
constituted an instrumentality and an administrative agency of
the State of Illinois. The said Authority shall consist of 11
directors; the Governor and the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation, ex officio, and 9 directors appointed by the
Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, from the
State at large, which said directors and their successors are
hereby authorized to carry out the provisions of this Act, and
to exercise the powers herein conferred. Of the 9 directors
appointed by the Governor, no more than 5 shall be members of
the same political party.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the
term of office of each director of the Authority serving on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
Assembly, other than the Governor and the Secretary of the
Department of Transportation, is abolished and a vacancy in

SB1233 - 2 - LRB102 05038 HEP 15057 b
each office is created on the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. The Governor
shall appoint directors to the Authority for the vacancies
created under this amendatory Act of the 100th General
Assembly by February 28, 2019. Directors whose terms are
abolished under this amendatory Act of the 100th General
Assembly shall be eligible for reappointment.
Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the
same manner as original appointments. All appointments shall
be in writing and filed with the Secretary of State as a public
record. It is the intention of this section that the
Governor's appointments shall be made with due consideration
to the location of proposed toll highway routes so that
maximum geographic representation from the areas served by
said toll highway routes may be accomplished insofar as
practicable. The said Authority shall have the power to
contract and be contracted with, to acquire, hold and convey
personal and real property or any interest therein including
rights of way, franchises and easements; to have and use a
common seal, and to alter the same at will; to make and
establish resolutions, by-laws, rules, rates and regulations,
and to alter or repeal the same as the Authority shall deem
necessary and expedient for the construction, operation,
relocation, regulation and maintenance of a system of toll
highways within and through the State of Illinois.
Appointment of the additional directors provided for by

SB1233 - 3 - LRB102 05038 HEP 15057 b
this amendatory Act of 1980 shall be made within 30 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1980.
