1 cycle) authorized by Public Act 86-1030 shall not lie within
2 municipalities or unincorporated areas of counties that abut

15 Department may not certify any additional Enterprise Zones,
16 but may amend and rescind certifications of existing
17 Enterprise Zones in accordance with Section 5.4.
18 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if (i)
19 the county board of any county in which a current military
20 base is located, in part or in whole, or in which a military
21 base that has been closed within 20 years of the effective
22 date of this amendatory Act of 1998 is located, in part or in

24 Section 5 of this Act to designate the military base in that
25 county as an enterprise zone and (ii) the property otherwise
