Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

The notice shall set forth (1) the intention of the municipality to borrow money or guarantee the repayment of money; (2) the specific number of voters required to sign a petition requesting that the proposition to borrow money or guarantee the repayment of money be submitted to the voters of the municipality; (3) the time within which a petition must be filed requesting the submission of the proposition; and (4) the date of the prospective referendum.

If within 30 days after the publication a petition is filed with the Clerk, signed by not less than 10% of the voters of the municipality requesting that the proposition to borrow money or guarantee the repayment of money be submitted to the voters thereof then the municipality shall not be authorized to so act until the proposition has been certified to the proper election authorities and has been submitted to and approved by a majority of the voters voting on the proposition at any regularly scheduled election. If no such petition is so filed, or if any and all petitions filed are invalid, the municipality may proceed to borrow money or guarantee the repayment of money.

        Shall (name of village) be authorized to borrow
    
$(amount) (or guarantee the repayment of $(amount)) to provide senior citizen housing under Division 29.3 of the Illinois Municipal Code?
The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
