Summary
Amends the Public Library District Act of 1991. Provides that the Sections in the Act that authorize the annexation of territory are each an independent authorization for the annexation of contiguous territory. Provides that a library district may annex territory by ordinance if that territory is located within the boundaries of a municipality or school district that is included within the district (now, the district may annex the territory if the municipality or school district has annexed or otherwise includes the territory within its boundaries). Deletes a provision that the annexation ordinance must recite the prior annexation or other inclusion of the territory by the municipality or school district. Provides that if, before the effective date of this amendatory Act, a district has annexed territory and that annexation complies with the statutory requirements, as changed by this amendatory Act, then, for all purposes, that annexation is validated, ratified, and declared to be in full force and effect from the date on which the district completed its annexation of the territory. Makes technical changes. Effective immediately.
