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.

the fee simple title to real property lying within the District and personal
property required for its purposes, by gift, purchase, or otherwise. Title
shall be taken in the corporate name of the Commission. The Commission may

Secretary of the Treasury as containing criteria that will substantially
achieve the purpose of preserving and rehabilitating buildings of historical
significance to the district, may be acquired by the Commission in its
corporate name under the provisions for the exercise of the right of eminent
domain under the Eminent Domain Act. The Commission has no
quick-take powers, no zoning powers, and no power to establish or enforce
