(735 ILCS 5/3-104) (from Ch. 110, par. 3-104)
Sec. 3-104.
Jurisdiction and venue.
Jurisdiction to review final
administrative decisions is vested in the Circuit Courts, except as to a
final order of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board in which case
jurisdiction to review a final order is vested in the Appellate Court of a
judicial district in which the Board maintains an office. If the venue of
the action to review a final administrative decision is expressly
prescribed in the particular statute under authority of which the decision
was made, such venue shall control, but if the venue is not so prescribed,
an action to review a final administrative decision may be commenced in the
Circuit Court of any county in which (1) any part of the hearing or
proceeding culminating in the decision of the administrative agency was
held, or (2) any part of the subject matter involved is situated, or (3)
any part of the transaction which gave rise to the proceedings before the
agency occurred. The court first acquiring jurisdiction of any action to
review a final administrative decision shall have and retain jurisdiction
of the action until final disposition of the action.
