Summary

Amends the Forest Preserve Zoological Parks Act. Provides that the zoo must be open without charge a total number of days, to be scheduled at any time during the calendar year, equivalent to at least one day for each 7 days the zoological park is open during the calendar year (now, at least one day each week). Allows the managing authority of the zoological park to limit the number of school groups that may attend the zoo on any given day and to establish other rules and regulations that reasonably ensure public safety, accessibility, and convenience, including without limitation standards of conduct and supervision.
