55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

Validation of tax levy ordinances.

In all cases where
the board of county commissioners of any county having a population of
1,000,000 or more inhabitants at legally convened meetings held within the
first quarter of the fiscal years 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972,
1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984,
1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991 has adopted annual appropriation
bills for such fiscal years and thereafter such appropriation bills were
published in a newspaper as provided by law, and subsequently at legally
convened meetings held in such fiscal years within the time required by
law, said board of county commissioners adopted tax levy ordinances based
on such appropriation bills for county corporate, highway, civic center
rental, public assistance, law library, rabies control, motor fuel tax,
employees' annuity and benefit fund and hospital purposes, and certified
copies of such tax levy ordinances thereafter were duly filed with the
county clerk of said county, then such appropriation bills and tax levy
ordinances, and the taxes assessed, levied, and extended thereon, are
hereby validated, notwithstanding that the several amounts and purposes for
which such appropriations were made and taxes levied for such county
corporate, highway, civic center rental, public assistance, law library,
rabies control, motor fuel tax, employees' annuity and benefit fund and
hospital purposes, were not specifically itemized in detail as required by
statute, and notwithstanding that in said appropriation bills or tax levy
ordinances stated amounts of money are appropriated and levied for named
public purposes using general language that renders the amounts for such
purposes uncertain and illegal or the purposes for which the amounts are
appropriated and levied uncertain and illegal.

Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as
validating any tax levy in excess of the statutory rate of taxation
authorized for such fiscal years or for any purposes not permitted by
the constitution.
