Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 25-25. Disposal of township records and property.

When township
organization is discontinued in any county, the records of the several
townships shall be deposited in the county clerk's office. The county
board or board of county commissioners of the county may close up all unfinished business of the several
townships and sell or dispose of any of the property belonging to a township
for the benefit of the inhabitants of the township, as fully as might have been
done by the townships themselves.  The county board or board of county commissioners may pay all the
indebtedness of any township existing at the time of the discontinuance of
township organization and cause the amount of the indebtedness, or so much as
may be necessary, to be levied upon the property of the township.
