SB1166 is a technical cleanup bill affecting the General County Airport and Landing Field Act. The measure amends Section 0.01, which contains the Act’s short title, and appears to make a non-substantive wording or citation correction rather than changing policy, regulatory authority, or program operations.
Because the bill is limited to a technical amendment, it does not create new airport rules, alter county airport powers, or change funding, permitting, or enforcement provisions. Its primary purpose is to update or correct the statutory text so the Act’s short title is properly stated in the Illinois Compiled Statutes.
Impact
The bill would make a narrow amendment to 620 ILCS 40/0.01, the short-title section of the General County Airport and Landing Field Act. The practical legal effect is minimal: it would not materially affect counties, airport operators, landowners, or transportation agencies, but would ensure the statute’s introductory language is accurate and internally consistent.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee debate, vote history, or other discussion in the provided materials, and the bill’s caption indicates it is a transportation technical measure. Based on the text alone, the bill appears routine and noncontroversial, with no evident policy dispute or stakeholder opposition.
Contention
No specific points of contention are shown in the available record. Because SB1166 is a technical amendment to a short-title provision, any concerns would likely be limited to drafting accuracy or statutory housekeeping rather than substantive disagreements over airport policy, county authority, or transportation regulation.
