Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 4-7.

Appointment of commissioners in districts organized under Levee
Act and certain other districts.
In all districts which, at the time this Act goes into effect, were
operating and existing under the provisions of the Levee Act, or under
the provisions of any other act repealed by this Act except the Farm
Drainage Act, the commissioners thereof shall hereafter be appointed in
the same manner and with like qualifications as though the districts had
been originally organized under this Act unless the landowners have elected
to change from the appointment to the election of commissioners in the
manner provided in Section 4-8. The commissioners in office at the time
this Act goes into effect shall continue as commissioners of the district
under this Act until the expiration of their terms of office and until
their successors are selected and shall have qualified as provided in this
Act. Commissioners appointed under this section shall, within 20 days after
their appointment, qualify by subscribing to an oath of office and giving
bond, in the manner provided in Section 4-4.
