IL HB5145

Amends the Abandoned Mined Lands and Water Reclamation Act to remove sunset provisions (August 31, 1999 and August 31, 2001 deadlines) from non-coal reclamation expenditure requirements.

Authorizes the Department to fill or seal abandoned tunnels, shafts, and entryways and remove deteriorating equipment and structures from non-coal mining sites that pose public health and safety hazards.

Limits annual non-coal reclamation expenditures to 2% of the Department's annual mine land reclamation budget, with priority given to projects protecting public health and safety.

Requires non-coal reclamation spending to occur only after completion of reclamation for abandoned coal lands and coal development impacts, except for high-priority public safety projects.

Grants the Department authority to acquire land and property rights necessary for non-coal reclamation through purchase, exchange, gifts, or condemnation.
