AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Transportation Law to allow for longer lease periods for certain land or property managed by the Department of Transportation (IDOT). Specifically, in counties with a population exceeding 3,000,000, leases for pedestrian infrastructure built over a State highway, if initially agreed upon within one year of this bill becoming law, can now be for up to 35 years, rather than the previous shorter limits. These leases must be for fair market value and comply with all other existing legal requirements.
