Bill Title: Amends the Public Library District Act. Provides that territory annexed by a public library district included within a municipality or school district shall be approved by ordinance of the board and voter referendum (currently, only by ordinance of the board with the option for a back-door referendum to prevent the annexation). Provides that a petition and referendum for disconnection of annexed territory may occur at any time after the annexation (currently, within 1 year after annexation or 30 days after the date that the first tax bill reflecting the tax levied by the district are sent). Removes a prohibition of more than one petition and referendum for disconnection of the annexed territory. Further provides that any area disconnected by petition and referendum will not be liable for any general obligation bonds of the public library district, or other obligations or liabilities, issued or incurred after a petition for disconnection has been under filed if the referendum for disconnection is approved. Effective immediately.
