SB2397 amends the Illinois Highway Code to change the timing of when development restrictions apply on land needed for future highway additions.

SB2397 modifies the Illinois Highway Code to adjust the timeline for when development restrictions apply to land needed for future highway additions. Specifically, it changes the date from when the map of the proposed right-of-way is filed to the date of the actual taking or the filing of a complaint for condemnation. The bill also mandates public hearings on the viability and feasibility of protected corridors for future highway additions, with the potential for abolishing such corridors if hearings are not held.
