As expected, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the Illinois Waterway Ports Commission Act on June 30, along with more than 150 other bills. Robert Sinkler, water resources infrastructure director of the Heart of Illinois Regional Port District (TransPORT), Corn Belt Ports executive coordinating director, senior adviser at Dawson & Associates and former commander of the Rock Island Engineer District, called the act "the most consequential inland ports legislation in decades for the Upper Mississippi River and the Illinois Waterway." The act, which became effective immediately upon signing, was passed unanimously by both chambers of the Illinois legislature (WJ, May 23). |
