(65 ILCS 5/6-4-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 6-4-2)
Sec. 6-4-2.
Ordinances - Approval - Veto.
All ordinances passed by the council shall be deposited with the city or
village clerk. If the mayor approves of them, he shall sign them. Those of
which he disapproves he shall return to the council, with his written
objections, at the next regular meeting of the council occurring not less
than 5 days after their passage. The mayor may disapprove of any one or
more sums appropriated in any ordinance, resolution, or motion making an
appropriation, and, if so, the remainder shall be effective. However, the
mayor may disapprove entirely of an ordinance, resolution, or motion making
an appropriation. If the mayor fails to return any ordinance or any
specified resolution or motion with his written objections, within the
designated time, it shall become effective despite the absence of his
signature. The vote on every ordinance shall be by yeas and nays, and shall
be recorded in the journal.
