Requires the Commission to hold a regular meeting on the second Thursday of February in even-numbered years for the election of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer from among its members and to hold meetings annually for the adoption of a budget and for other business purposes (rather than holding annual meetings for all purposes).

Authorizes the Commission to construct or cause to be constructed, among other things, housing, educational buildings, and research facilities. Requires the Commission's master plans to be delivered to (rather than approved by) the advisory council and the Springfield city council.
AI Summary
This bill expands the boundaries of the Mid-Illinois Medical District and modifies the powers of its governing body, the Mid-Illinois Medical District Commission. The Commission will now hold a specific meeting in February of even-numbered years to elect its officers, and annual meetings for budgeting and other business, rather than just annual meetings for all purposes. Importantly, the Commission is prohibited from using eminent domain, a legal process to acquire private property for public use, for properties located within a specific area defined by 11th Street on the east, Madison Street on the north, Walnut Street on the west, and South Grand Avenue on the south. The bill also authorizes the Commission to construct or facilitate the construction of various facilities, including housing, educational buildings, and research facilities, and requires that the Commission's master plans be delivered to the advisory council and Springfield city council for their review, rather than requiring their approval.
