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.

(805 ILCS 320/3) (from Ch. 21, par. 37)

Sec. 3.

The persons so receiving the articles of organization shall cause the
same to be recorded in the recorder's office of the county in which the
cemetery is situated, and when so recorded, the association shall be deemed
fully organized as a body corporate under the name adopted, and in its
corporate name may sue and be sued. Whenever two-thirds of the trustees
shall approve a resolution to change the name of a cemetery association, a
copy of such resolution and approval thereof duly certified by the
President and Secretary of the association shall be filed in the office of
the State Comptroller, and upon approval thereof shall be filed in the
office of the Secretary of State. Whenever two-thirds of the trustees of a
cemetery association approve a resolution to dissolve such corporation a
copy of such resolution and approval of the trustees duly certified by the
President and Secretary shall be submitted to the Comptroller, and if
approved by him a copy of such resolution and approval of the Comptroller
shall be duly filed by him in the office of the Secretary of State. Where
the association has "care funds" within the meaning of the "Cemetery Care
Act", approved July 21, 1947, as amended, the Comptroller shall not approve
the dissolution of any Cemetery Association unless proper disposition has
been made of such care funds, as provided by law, and in accordance with
the Cemetery Care Act. Upon the filing of the resolution of either change
of name or dissolution of such cemetery association in the office of the
Secretary of State such change of name or dissolution of such cemetery
association shall be complete. The Comptroller shall so notify the trustees
of such cemetery association. Thereupon the trustees shall cause a copy of
such resolution of either change of name or dissolution to be recorded in
the recorder's office of the county where the cemetery is situated.
