Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

65 ILCS 5/11-19-10

    (65 ILCS 5/11-19-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-19-10)
    Sec. 11-19-10. Every city, village, and incorporated town may acquire by purchase, gift or condemnation any real property within or without the corporate limits of such city, village or incorporated town for the purpose of providing facilities for the disposal of garbage, refuse and ashes. In all cases where property is acquired or sought to be acquired by condemnation, the procedure shall be, as nearly as may be, like that provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act. In any village containing a population of less than 15,000 where the property sought to be acquired is to be used for a refuse derived fuel system and for industrial development that will utilize steam and electricity derived from such system, such property may be acquired pursuant to the "quick-take" procedures prescribed in Section 7-103 of such Code (now Article 20 of the Eminent Domain Act) if such procedures are commenced on or before June 30, 1987. As used herein, "refuse derived fuel system" means a facility designed to convert refuse and other waste materials into steam and electricity to be used for industrial development and other commercial purposes.
    If a city, village or incorporated town joins with one or more than one other city, village or incorporated town or county in the exercise of the powers granted by this section, (a) any real property purchased shall be taken in the names of the contracting cities, villages, incorporated towns, and counties, if any; (b) in case of condemnation, the city, village or incorporated town in which the real property lies, or the city, village or incorporated town nearest to the area of the real property to be condemned, shall institute condemnation proceedings; Provided, (1) any real property so acquired shall be held in trust by such city, village or incorporated town for the benefit of the contracting cities, villages, incorporated towns, and counties, all of which shall bear the expense of condemnation according to agreement; (2) when real property acquired by condemnation is no longer used for joint disposal of garbage, refuse and ashes, it shall be sold by the city, village or incorporated town in whose name it is held and the proceeds shall be distributed to the contracting cities, villages, incorporated towns, and counties as their interests shall appear. Any improvements existing on real property jointly acquired by purchase, gift or condemnation for garbage, refuse and ashes disposal purposes which cannot be used for such purposes may be disposed of in such manner as is mutually agreeable to the cities, villages, incorporated towns, and counties involved.
