(70 ILCS 1205/3-3a) (from Ch. 105, par. 3-3a)
Sec. 3-3a.
Annexation; municipal territory.
Where territory to
be annexed includes any part of a municipality not currently
a part of any park district, that territory must include the
municipality in its
entirety. The board of any park district may initiate the proceedings by
enacting an ordinance expressing its desire to annex the territory, or any
100 or more legal voters residing within the municipality proposed to be
annexed may petition to initiate annexation proceedings. The
ordinance or petition shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit court
where the park district or a greater or greatest
portion lies. The ordinance or petition shall
set forth the name of the park district
to which annexation is proposed and define the limits of the territory
proposed to be annexed. Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall
determine its validity and, if it is in conformity with law, shall order
the proposition submitted to referendum as provided in Section
3-3. The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act
of 1991 clarify the language and make no substantive changes.
