<reference>30 ILCS 550/3</reference><aliasreference></aliasreference><SynopsisText>     Amends the Public Construction Bond Act concerning a cash bond or other surety from a builder or developer. Allows a county or municipality to require a cash bond or other surety (instead of requiring the county or municipality to accept a letter of credit or other instrument issued by a financial institution). Eliminates a procedure allowing an engineer or architect to certify completion of a project and requiring the county or municipality to pay interest on any unrefunded bond beginning 60 days after written notification of completion. Eliminates the preemption of home rule powers. Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
