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 2605/11.5) (from Ch. 42, par. 331.5)
Sec. 11.5. In the event of an emergency affecting the public health or
safety, so declared by action of the board of trustees, which declaration
shall describe the nature of the injurious effect upon the public health or
safety, contracts may be let to the extent necessary to resolve such
emergency without public advertisement. The declaration shall fix the date
upon which such emergency shall terminate. The date may be extended or
abridged by the board of trustees as in its judgment the circumstances
require.
The executive director appointed in accordance with Section 4 of
this Act shall authorize in writing and certify to the director of procurement and materials management
those officials or employees of the several departments of the sanitary
district who may purchase in the open market without filing a requisition
or estimate therefor, and without advertisement, any supplies, materials,
equipment or services, for immediate delivery to meet bona fide operating
emergencies where the amount thereof is not in excess of $50,000;
provided,
that the director of procurement and materials management shall be notified of such emergency. A full
written account of any such emergency together with a requisition for the
materials, supplies, equipment or services required therefor shall be
submitted immediately by the requisitioning agent to the executive director and such report and requisition shall be submitted to the director of procurement and materials management
and shall be open to public inspection for a period of at
least one year subsequent to the date of such emergency purchase. The
exercise of authority in respect to purchases for such bona fide operating
emergencies shall not be dependent upon a declaration of emergency by the
board of trustees under the first paragraph of this Section.
