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.

Whenever it shall be necessary to take or damage private property
for right of way or other purposes, for or in connection with any
improvement or work authorized by this Act, such sanitary district may
cause compensation therefor to be ascertained, and acquire the same, in the

the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act: Provided, all such proceedings shall be instituted in the county
