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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-119.1-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-119.1-7)

Sec. 11-119.1-7.

Except as otherwise provided by this Division, a municipal
power agency may acquire all real or personal property that it deems necessary
for carrying out the purposes of this Division, whether in fee simple absolute
or a lesser interest, by condemnation and the exercise of the power of eminent
domain in the manner provided in the Eminent Domain Act.
A municipal power agency shall have no power of eminent domain with respect
to any real or personal property owned or leased by any eligible utility
as part of a system, whether existing, under construction or being planned,
of facilities for the generation,
transmission, production or distribution of electrical power.

The authority of a municipal power agency to acquire real or personal property
by condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be
a continuing power, and no exercise thereof shall exhaust it.
