AI Summary

  • Allows townships in McHenry County to dissolve by voter referendum, with all property, assets, personnel, obligations, and liabilities transferring to McHenry County.

  • Requires dissolution petitions to be filed 122 days before election, signed by either 5% of voters from the prior comparable election or 250 signatures, whichever is larger.

  • Establishes that dissolved township funds and facilities must be used solely for the benefit of the former township's geographic area, with McHenry County capped at extending 90% of the prior township property tax levy.

  • Permits municipalities within dissolved township boundaries to assume road district powers and responsibilities within 60 days of dissolution; if no municipality accepts, McHenry County retains those duties.

  • Amends motor fuel tax distribution to route funds that would have gone to a dissolved McHenry County township to the county instead, except where municipalities assume road district responsibilities.
