AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Illinois Department of Corrections to transfer a specific parcel of land (approximately 149.209 acres) located in Will County to the Forest Preserve District of Will County for the nominal price of $1. The transfer is subject to several key conditions: the Forest Preserve District must obtain an ALTA (American Land Title Association) survey and property appraisal, which must be reviewed by both the Department of Corrections and the Department of Central Management Services to ensure the correct land is being transferred. The property must be used exclusively for public purposes such as recreation and conservation, and if it is ever used for any other purpose or attempts are made to sell or transfer it, the property will automatically revert to the State of Illinois. The Forest Preserve District will bear all costs associated with the transfer and must record the necessary documents in the county recorder's office. The bill also allows the Department of Corrections and the Forest Preserve District to jointly agree to reduce the size of the transferred property within the originally described boundaries. The transfer is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will be completed through a quitclaim deed and bill of sale on an "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" basis, with no representations made about the property's condition.
