65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal 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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-13-1.5)
Sec. 11-13-1.5. Amateur radio communications; antenna regulations.

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no ordinance or resolution may be adopted or enforced by a municipality after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly that affects the placement, screening, or height of antennas or antenna support structures that are used for amateur radio communications unless the ordinance or resolution: (i) has a reasonable and clearly defined aesthetic, public health, or safety objective and represents the minimum practical regulation that is necessary to accomplish the objectives; and (ii) reasonably accommodates amateur radio communications.

A municipality  may not regulate the antennas or antenna  support structures that are used for amateur radio communications in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.

(65 ILCS 5/11-13-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-13-2)

Sec. 11-13-2.

The corporate authorities in each municipality which desires
to exercise the powers conferred by this Division 13, or who have exercised
such power and desire to adopt a new ordinance, shall provide for a zoning
commission with the duty to recommend the boundaries of districts and
appropriate regulations to be enforced therein.  The commission shall be
appointed by the mayor or president, subject to confirmation by the
corporate authorities.  The commission shall prepare a tentative report and
a proposed zoning ordinance for the entire municipality.  After the
preparation of such a tentative report and ordinance, the commission shall
hold a hearing thereon and shall afford persons interested an opportunity
to be heard.  Notice of the hearing shall be published at least once, not
more than 30 nor less than 15 days before the hearing, in one or more
newspapers published in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is published
therein, then in one or more newspapers
published in the county in which the municipality is located and having
a general circulation within
the municipality.
 The notice shall
state the time and place of the hearing and the place where copies of the
proposed ordinance will be accessible for examination by interested
persons.  The hearing may be adjourned from time to time.

Within 30 days after the final adjournment of the hearing the commission
shall make a final report and submit a proposed ordinance for the entire
municipality to the corporate authorities.  The corporate authorities may
enact the ordinance with or without change, or may refer it back to the
commission for further consideration.  The zoning commission shall cease to
exist upon the adoption of a zoning ordinance for the entire municipality.
