Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(50 ILCS 605/4) (from Ch. 30, par. 158a)
Sec. 4. Any municipality shall have the power upon resolution passed by
a two-thirds vote of the members of its legislative body then holding office,
to transfer all of the right, title and interest held by it immediately
prior to such transfer, in and to any real estate, whether located within
or without such municipality, to the State of Illinois, for any authorized
purpose of state government, upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed
upon by the transferor municipality and the State of Illinois, and the State
of Illinois is authorized to accept the title or interest in such real estate
so conveyed; except that a majority vote of the members of such legislative
body then holding office is sufficient for the dedication by any municipality
of any area as a nature preserve as provided in the "Illinois Natural Areas
Preservation Act" as now or hereafter amended. If such real estate is held
by the transferor municipality subject to or limited by any restriction,
the State of Illinois, by the Secretary of
Transportation or by the Director of any state department, or the Chairman
or President of any commission, board or agency of the State vested by law
with the power, duty or function of the State Government for which
said property is to be used by the State after its acquisition, may remove
such restriction through purchase, agreement or condemnation. Any such condemnation
proceedings shall be brought and maintained by the State
of Illinois and shall conform, as nearly as may be, with the procedure provided
for the exercise of the power of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act.
