Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(60 ILCS 1/15-10)
Sec. 15-10.
Disconnection of territory from township; annexation to
adjacent township. Until the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1997,
whenever a township is organized under this Article and any
of the territory of the city not more than one-half square mile in extent and
containing not more than 50 inhabitants is disconnected from the city,
the
county board may, by resolution, upon receiving a certified copy of the
resolution or ordinance of the city disconnecting the territory and after a
public hearing on the matter following notice given as provided in Section
15-5, disconnect the territory from the township and annex it to an adjacent
township or townships.
Whenever a township is organized under this Article and any of the
territory of the city is, after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1997, disconnected from the city by court order or ordinance,
the territory
shall automatically be disconnected from the otherwise coterminous township and
connected to the adjacent township, and the transfer of the territory shall not
affect the city's status as a city with a coterminous township.
If disconnection is pursuant to court order, the petitioning party in the
cause shall, within 30 days of the entry of an order permitting disconnection,
serve a copy of the order upon the coterminous township, the adjacent
township, and the county clerk by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
shall file proof of the service with the circuit clerk. Upon objection by
either the coterminous township or the adjacent township within 180 days after
the enactment of the ordinance or after service of the court order,
the county board may, after receiving a certified copy of
the court order or ordinance and after a public hearing on the matter following
notice given as provided in Section 15-5, pass an ordinance annulling the
automatic disconnection of territory from the coterminous township. The action
by the county board shall not affect the disconnection of territory from the
city, but shall cause the territory to remain in the coterminous township. The
annulling by the county board of the automatic disconnection of territory from
the coterminous township shall not affect the city's status as a city with a
coterminous township.
