(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an ordinance of a unit of local government may not be enforced against the remediation, redevelopment, or improvement of an inoperable State facility conveyed to a unit of local government for a recreational public purpose if the ordinance prohibits, restricts, or limits the remediation, redevelopment, or improvement of the inoperable State facility for a recreational public purpose. A unit of local government may not require payment of permitting fees or require permit inspections for the remediation, redevelopment, or improvement of an inoperable State facility conveyed to a unit of local government for the purpose of remediation, redevelopment, or improvement for a recreational public purpose.

(b) This Section applies to remediation, redevelopment, or improvement projects that are ongoing on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and to all projects started on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly.

(c) A home rule unit may not regulate remediation, redevelopment, or improvement of an inoperable State facility conveyed to a unit of local government for a recreational public purpose in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
