Bill > HB3176

This bill amends the State Parks Act to authorize the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to enter into a land management agreement with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation for managing, maintaining, or operating real property conveyed to the tribe, but only if Senate Bill 867 becomes law. The agreement must include specific provisions, including explicit restrictions on gaming operations and a requirement that the land remain open for public recreation. The Department of Natural Resources may use state resources to support the management of this property, subject to appropriation, and the Director of Natural Resources must provide written approval for any such agreement. The bill defines a "land management agreement" as one or more agreements designed to manage, maintain, or operate the conveyed real property. The bill will take effect either immediately upon becoming law or on the date Senate Bill 867 takes effect, whichever is later.
