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.

(a) Any road district tax that was authorized by the electors at an annual or special town meeting during the years 1975 through 1979 for a period not exceeding 5 years, but that was not re-authorized within 5 years after it was authorized due to Public Acts 81-779, 81-821, and 81-1509, which repealed the 5-year limitation, is hereby validated for all tax levy years subsequent to 1980 only to the extent that the authority to tax did not automatically expire after 1980.
