(a) a copy of this Act;
(b) a statement that no action or proceeding to contest the validity of the liquor referendum provisions of § 9-2a of the Liquor Control Act of 1934, as amended by this amendatory Act of 1989, or the tax stabilization provisions of Sections 10-205 through 10-220 of the Property Tax Code may be commenced in any court more than 6 months after publication of the notice required by this Section; and
(c) a statement that a proposal for the construction of a new stadium in such municipality has been made, if that has occurred.
The notice shall be published in full, in 8 point type or the equivalent thereof, within such 30-day period in one or more newspapers of general circulation in the county in which such municipality is located and in the Illinois counties contiguous to such county.
