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 5/5-5-6) (from Ch. 24, par. 5-5-6)

Sec. 5-5-6.

If a city or village operating under this Article 5 desires to submit
(1) the rejection or continuance of the managerial form of municipal
government and (2) the adoption or abandonment of the commission form or
the strong mayor form of municipal government if the managerial
government is abandoned, both propositions may be submitted at the same
election, and may be printed on the same ballot, but each proposition
shall be stated separately. In case the 2 petitions are filed, the time
limitation in Section 5-5-1 shall not apply. If the proposition to
abandon the managerial form of municipal government receives a majority
of the votes and the proposition to adopt or to abandon Article 4 or
Article 6, as the case may be, receives a majority of the votes, the
provision in Section 5-5-1 that such city or village shall become
subject to the provisions of Article 3, 4 or 6, whichever article was in
force in such city or village immediately prior to the abandonment or
the plan authorized by this Article 5 shall not apply. In case the
proposition to abandon the managerial form of municipal government fails
to receive a majority of votes and the proposition to adopt or to
abandon Article 4 or Article 6, as the case may be, receives a majority
of votes, the provisions of Section 5-5-5 shall be applicable.

In case the proposition to abandon the managerial form of municipal
government receives a majority of votes, and the proposition to adopt or
to abandon Article 4 or Article 6, as the case may be, fails to receive
a majority of the votes, the provision in Section 5-5-1 that such city
or village shall become subject to the provisions of Article 3, Article
4 or Article 6, whichever article was in force in such city or village
immediately prior to the adoption of the plan authorized by this Article
5 shall be applicable.
