Section 5. The Toll Highway Act is amended by changing

(605 ILCS 10/3) (from Ch. 121, par. 100-3)
Sec. 3. There is hereby created an Authority to be known as

constituted an instrumentality and an administrative agency of
the State of Illinois. The said Authority shall consist of 11
directors; the Governor and the Secretary of the Department of
Transportation, ex officio, and 9 directors appointed by the
Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, from the
State at large, which said directors and their successors are
hereby authorized to carry out the provisions of this Act, and
to exercise the powers herein conferred. Of the 9 directors
appointed by the Governor, no more than 5 shall be members of
the same political party. Vacancies shall be filled for the
unexpired term in the same manner as original appointments. All

so that maximum geographic representation from the areas served
by said toll highway routes may be accomplished insofar as
practicable. The said Authority shall have the power to
contract and be contracted with, to acquire, hold and convey
personal and real property or any interest therein including
rights of way, franchises and easements; to have and use a
common seal, and to alter the same at will; to make and
establish resolutions, by-laws, rules, rates and regulations,
and to alter or repeal the same as the Authority shall deem
necessary and expedient for the construction, operation,
relocation, regulation and maintenance of a system of toll
highways within and through the State of Illinois.
Appointment of the additional directors provided for by
this amendatory Act of 1980 shall be made within 30 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1980.
