AI Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to the state constitution to allow the state to sell approximately ninety-two acres of forest preserve land in Brighton, Franklin County, which includes land developed as a private tuberculosis hospital, a private college annex, and a state prison. The sale, which would be subject to legislative approval before any transfer of title, would require that any revenue generated be deposited into a state account dedicated solely to acquiring new lands for the forest preserve. Additionally, the town of Brighton would retain water rights on the conveyed property to establish a water district to supply potable water to residents affected by road salt contamination in their existing wells.
