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.

(605 ILCS 5/6-308) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-308)

Sec. 6-308.

Whenever the highway commissioner of any road district or upon
appeal from his decision, the county superintendent of highways has entered
a preliminary order for the laying out, widening, alteration or vacation of
a township or district road, and a survey therefor has been completed as
hereinbefore provided, proceedings shall next be taken to fix the damages
which will be sustained by the adjoining land owners by reason of such
laying out, widening, altering or vacation. In case such preliminary order
was entered by the highway commissioner, he shall act for the district in
all matters relating to the fixing of damages, as well as the surveying of
such road. But in case such order was entered by the county superintendent
of highways on appeal, as aforesaid, the county superintendent shall
represent the district in such matters.
