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.

    (70 ILCS 1505/25.1) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.23b)
    Sec. 25.1. The Chicago Park District is hereby authorized to:
        (a) Acquire by purchase or otherwise, own, construct,
    
equip, manage, control, erect, improve, extend, maintain and operate motor vehicle parking lot or lots, underground garage or garages, parking meters, and any other revenue producing facilities necessary or incidental to the regulation, control and parking of motor vehicles (hereinafter referred to as parking facilities), as the Commissioners of the Chicago Park District may from time to time find the necessity therefor exists, and for that purpose may acquire property of any and every kind or description, whether real, personal or mixed, by gift, purchase or otherwise;
        (b) Maintain, improve, extend and operate any such
    
parking facilities and charge for the use thereof;
        (c) Enter into contracts dealing in any manner with
    
the objects and purposes of sections 25.1 to 25.9, both inclusive, of this Act as now enacted and as may hereafter be amended;
        (d) Acquire sites and facilities by gift, lease,
    
contract, purchase or condemnation under power of eminent domain, and to pledge the revenues thereof for the payment of any bonds issued for such purpose as provided for in sections 25.1 to 25.9, both inclusive, of this Act as now enacted and as may hereafter be amended. In all cases where property or rights are acquired or sought to be acquired by condemnation the procedure shall be, as nearly as may be, like that provided for the exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act;
        (e) Borrow money and issue and sell bonds in such
    
amount or amounts as the Commissioners may determine for the purpose of acquiring, completing, erecting, constructing, equipping, improving, extending, maintaining or operating any or all of its parking facilities, and to refund and refinance the same from time to time as often as it shall be advantageous and to the public interest to do so.
