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.
105 ILCS 5/3A-4
(105 ILCS 5/3A-4) (from Ch. 122, par. 3A-4)
Sec. 3A-4. Mandatory consolidation of educational service regions.
(a) After July 1, 2015,
each
region must contain at least 61,000 inhabitants. Before June 30, 2013, regions may be consolidated
voluntarily under Section 3A-3 or by joint resolution of the county boards of
regions seeking to join a voluntary consolidation, effective July 1, 2015, to meet these population
requirements. The boundaries of regions already meeting these population
requirements on the effective date of Public Act 97-703 may not be
changed except to consolidate with another region or a whole county portion of
another region which does not meet these population requirements.
If, before November 1, 2013, locally determined consolidation decisions result in more than 35 regions of
population greater than 61,000 each, the State Board of Education shall, before November 23, 2013, direct
further consolidation, beginning with the region of lowest population, until
the number of 35 regions is achieved.
(b) (Blank).
(c) If, within 90 days after the most recent certified federal census, a region does not meet the population requirements of this Section, then regions may be consolidated voluntarily under Section 3A-3 of this Code or by joint resolution of the county boards of regions seeking to join a voluntary consolidation to meet these population requirements. If locally determined consolidation decisions result in a region not meeting the population requirements of this Section or result in more than 35 regions, then the State Board of Education shall have the authority to impose further consolidation by order of the State Superintendent of Education. Such an order shall be a final order and is subject to the Administrative Review Law.
(d) All population determinations shall be based on the most recent
federal census.
