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.

605 ILCS 5/6-602

(605 ILCS 5/6-602) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-602)

Sec. 6-602.

If a majority of all the ballots cast at such election on such
proposition are in favor of such special tax, then the township board of
trustees or highway board of trustees,
as the case may be, or the
highway commissioner in a county not under township organization of the
road district shall levy an annual tax in accordance with such vote and
certify the same to the county clerk. This certification may occur at any time after the election. That board of trustees or
commissioner shall also cause a copy of such certificate of levy to be
filed in the office of the district clerk as provided in Section 6-502
of this Code. The county clerk shall cause such levy, thus certified to
him to be extended on the tax books for the current year and for each
succeeding year as other taxes are extended. The highway commissioner of
the road district may
also receive donations in money, labor, materials or other valuable
things to aid in such road construction.

Such special tax levy shall remain in effect until repealed by the legal
voters of the road district, as provided in Section 6-617 of this Code.
