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.

(70 ILCS 2405/23.7) (from Ch. 42, par. 317e.7)

Sec. 23.7.

For purposes of this Act, territory to be organized as a
sanitary district shall be considered to be contiguous territory, and territory
to be annexed to a sanitary district shall be considered to be contiguous
to the sanitary district notwithstanding that the territory to be so organized
is divided by,
						
or
that the territory to be so annexed is separated from the sanitary district
by, one or more railroad rights-of-ways, public easements, 
property owned by a public utility, or property owned by a forest preserve district or any public agency or not-for-profit corporation, provided that the property does not require sanitary sewer service.  However, upon
such organization or annexation, the area included within any such
right-of-way, public easement, property owned by a public
utility, or property owned by a forest preserve district or any public agency or not-for-profit corporation shall not be considered a part of or
annexed to the sanitary district and shall not be subject to rights-of-way for access or services without the approval of the legal owner of the property.
