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.

    (215 ILCS 5/117) (from Ch. 73, par. 729)

    Sec. 117. Merger or consolidation.
    (1) Whenever a foreign or alien company authorized to transact business in this State shall be the surviving company of a statutory merger permitted by the laws of the state or country under which it is organized, and such merger is not subject to the provisions of Article X; it shall forthwith file with the Director
        (a) copies of the agreement and certificate of merger
    
duly authenticated by the proper officer of the state or country under the laws of which such statutory merger was effected; and
        (b) if any of the companies party to such merger were
    
not admitted to transact business in this State, a statement of the financial condition and business of each of such companies, as of the end of the preceding calendar year complying as to form, content and verification with the requirements of this Code for annual statements, or a financial statement as of such later date as the Director may require.
    (2) It shall not be necessary for such surviving company to procure a new certificate of authority to transact business in this State nor an amended certificate unless the name of such company be changed thereby or unless the company desires to transact in this State a kind or kinds of business other than those which it is then authorized to transact.
    (3) Whenever a foreign or alien company authorized to transact business in this State shall be a party to a statutory merger and such company shall not be the surviving company, or if such foreign or alien company shall be a party to a consolidation, then the certificate of authority of such foreign or alien company shall terminate upon such merger or consolidation, and the surviving company, if not previously authorized to transact business in this State, or the new company, in the case of consolidation, shall be subject to the same requirements for admission to transact business in this State as any other foreign or alien company.
