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.

Sec. 11-42-14.

Landscape waste.

The corporate authorities of a
municipality may register certain persons in the landscape maintenance
business or in the business of generating landscape waste as defined in
the Environmental Protection Act.  No municipality may, however, charge a
fee for that registration.

A municipality that requires registration may exempt any person
acting within the scope of his or her employment with the municipality.

A person acting within the scope of his or her employment
with a public utility and a person who is an "applicator for hire" as
defined in the Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act are
exempt from this Section.

For electric generating wind devices other than those with a nameplate generating capacity of less than 100 kilowatts that are used primarily by an end user, a municipality may prohibit any electric generating wind device from locating within its corporate limits, provided that the regulation is not inconsistent with another municipality's zoning regulation. This Section shall apply only to electric generating wind devices permitted after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.

Sec. 11-42-17. COVID-19 business relief; waiver of business fees, costs, and licensing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the corporate authorities of a municipality may, by resolution, waive or provide credit for any application or permit costs, fees or other licensing or registration costs for businesses, including, but not limited to, professional or business licensing, liquor licenses, construction, insurance, sales, builders, contractors, food service, delivery, repair, consultation, legal services, accounting, transportation, manufacturing, technology, assembly, tourism, entertainment, or any business, industry, or service the municipality is permitted by law to regulate or license.

A waiver of business fees or costs shall be subject to an application or review process and a demonstration of need based upon any financial or logistical hardship as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic.

Any such waiver or credit shall not be construed to apply to any of the business and licensing costs of the state or any of its agencies or departments and is not an exemption from safety, health, or regulatory requirements or inspections of a county, municipality, or the State.

PUBLIC CONTRACTS

65 ILCS 5/11-42.1-1

(65 ILCS 5/11-42.1-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-42.1-1)

Sec. 11-42.1-1.

(a) Except as provided otherwise in this Section, a
municipality may not enter into a contract or agreement with an individual
or other entity that is delinquent in the payment of any tax administered
by the Department of Revenue unless the individual or other entity is
contesting, in accordance with the procedures established by the
appropriate revenue Act, its liability for the tax or the amount of tax.
Before awarding a contract, the municipality shall obtain a statement under
oath from the individual or entity that no such taxes are delinquent.
Making a false statement is a Class A misdemeanor.  In addition, making a
false statement voids the contract and allows the municipality to recover
all amounts paid to the individual or entity under the contract in a civil
action.  A municipality may not regulate contracts with individuals or
entities that are delinquent in payment of such taxes 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 municipalities of
powers and functions exercised by the State.

(b) For purposes of this Section, a person or other entity shall not be
considered delinquent in the payment of a tax if the person or entity
(1) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Revenue for the
payment of all such taxes that are due and (2) is in compliance with the
agreement.  In that case, the sworn statement required by subsection (a)
shall state those facts.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a municipality may
enter into a contract with an individual or other entity that is delinquent
in the payment of a tax if the contracting authority for the municipality determines that:

(1) the contract is for goods or services vital to

the public health, safety, or welfare; and

(2) the municipality is unable to acquire the goods

or services at a comparable price and of comparable quality from other sources.

The corporate authorities of each municipality may levy taxes for and
provide general assistance for persons in need thereof as provided in "The
Illinois Public Aid Code" as now or hereafter amended, in municipalities of

any such municipality, including the expenditure of the proceeds of taxes
levied and to be levied by the municipality for such purpose, shall be
vested in the county department of public aid of the county in which such
municipality is located, as provided in "The Illinois Public Aid Code". Any
taxes levied or to be levied for such purpose in such municipalities may
also be used for the payment of warrants issued against and in anticipation
of such taxes and accrued interest thereon and for the payment of the cost
of administering such assistance.
