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.

    (215 ILCS 5/35B-20)
    Sec. 35B-20. Requirements of a plan of division.
    (a) A domestic stock company shall not file a plan of division with the Director unless the plan of division has been approved in accordance with:
        (1) any applicable provisions of its articles of
    
incorporation and bylaws; and
        (2) all laws of this State governing the internal
    
affairs of a domestic stock company that provide for approval of a merger.
    (b) If any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a domestic stock company requires that a specific number or percentage of board of directors or shareholders approve the proposal or adoption of a plan of merger, or imposes other special procedures for the proposal or adoption of a plan of merger, such domestic stock company shall adhere to such provision in proposing or adopting a plan of division. If any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a domestic stock company is amended, such amendment shall thereafter apply to a division only in accordance with its express terms.
