AI Summary
This bill amends the Eminent Domain Act to grant the City of North Chicago the ability to use quick-take proceedings for acquiring permanent and temporary easements for a one-year period after the bill's effective date. Quick-take is a legal mechanism that allows a government entity to take possession of private property for public purposes before final compensation is determined. Specifically, the bill authorizes the city to acquire easements on three specific parcels located at 30417, 30347, and 30375 N. Skokie Highway for constructing a storm water utility main. The bill provides precise legal descriptions of the permanent and temporary easements, which involve a portion of the southeast quarter of Section 7 in Township 44 North, Range 12 East, located in Lake County, Illinois. The purpose of these easements is to support hazard mitigation and stormwater conveyance measures aimed at reducing flooding effects in the area. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing the City of North Chicago to quickly proceed with its infrastructure improvement project.
