(65 ILCS 5/11-119.1-12) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-119.1-12)
Sec. 11-119.1-12.
A.
This Division shall be construed liberally to
effectuate its legislative intent and purpose, as complete and independent
authority for the performance of each and every act and thing authorized by
this Division, and all authority granted shall be broadly interpreted to
effectuate this intent and purpose and not as a limitation of powers. This
Division is expressly not a limit on any of the powers granted any unit of
local government of this State by constitution, statute, charter or otherwise,
other than when the unit of local government is acting expressly pursuant to
this Division.
B. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Division
and any other law or charter provision, the provisions of this Division shall
prevail.
C. Any provision of this Division which may be determined by competent
authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
