(110 ILCS 805/3-4) (from Ch. 122, par. 103-4)
Sec. 3-4.
At the hearing, any resident in the proposed district or any
district affected thereby may appear in support of the petition or to object
thereto. At the conclusion of the hearing the State Board shall make a decision
either granting or denying the petition. If the State Board
denies the petition no election shall be held or further proceedings had
unless its decision is reversed upon review. If the State Board approves
the petition or if its denial of the petition is reversed on review, the
regional superintendent of the county in which the territory described
in the petition is situated or if the petition describes territory
consisting of one county and all or a part of several counties, the
regional superintendent of the county having the greater number of
people included in the territory described in the petition, shall certify
the proposition to the proper election officials, who shall submit such
proposition at a regular scheduled election as provided in the
general election law for the purpose of voting for or against
the proposition of establishing a community college district. The
decision of the State Board after the hearing shall be deemed an
"administrative decision" as defined in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
Procedure and any petitioner or resident who appears at the hearing
may file a complaint for a judicial review of such decision in accordance
with the Administrative Review Law, and all amendments and modifications
thereof and the rules adopted pursuant thereto. The commencement of any
action for review shall operate as a stay of enforcement, and no referendum
shall be held pending final disposition of such review.
