Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
55 ILCS 5/5-1064
(55 ILCS 5/5-1064) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1064)
Sec. 5-1064. Buildings in certain counties of less than 1,000,000
population. The county board in any county with a population not in
excess of 1,000,000 located in the area served by the Northeastern Illinois
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission may prescribe by resolution or
ordinance reasonable rules and regulations (a) governing the construction
and alteration of all buildings and structures and parts and appurtenances
thereof and governing the maintenance thereof in a condition reasonably
safe from the hazards of fire, explosion, collapse, contagion and the
spread of infectious disease, but any such resolution or ordinance shall be
subject to any rule or regulation now or hereafter adopted by the State
Fire Marshal pursuant to "An Act to regulate the storage,
transportation, sale and use of gasoline and volatile oils", approved June
28, 1919, as amended, (b) for prohibiting the use for residential purposes
of buildings and structures already erected or moved into position which do
not comply with such rules and regulations, and (c) for the restraint,
correction and abatement of any violations. However, the county shall
exempt all municipalities located wholly or partly within the county where
the municipal building code is equal to the county regulation and where the
local authorities are enforcing the municipal building code. Such rules and
regulations shall be applicable throughout the county but this Section
shall not be construed to prevent municipalities from establishing higher
standards nor shall such rules and regulations apply to the construction or
alteration of buildings and structures used or to be used for agricultural
purposes and located upon a tract of land which is zoned and used for
agricultural purposes.
In the adoption of rules and regulations under this Section the county
board shall be governed by the publication and posting requirements set out
in Section 5-1063.
Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General
Assembly,
any county adopting a new building code or amending an existing
building code under this Section must, at least 30 days before adopting the
building code or
amendment, provide an identification of the building code, by title and
edition, or the amendment for identification under Section 10.18 of the Capital Development Board Act.
For the purposes of this Section, "building code" means any ordinance,
resolution, law,
housing or building code, or zoning ordinance that establishes construction
related activities
applicable to structures in the county.
Violation of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant to this Section,
except for a violation of the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 92nd
General Assembly and the rules and regulations adopted under those
provisions,
shall be deemed a petty offense.
All rules and regulations enacted by resolution or ordinance under the
provisions of this Section shall be enforced by such officer of the county
as may be designated by resolution of the county board.
