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.

805 ILCS 110/46e

    (805 ILCS 110/46e) (from Ch. 32, par. 180)
    Sec. 46e. The trustees of every such congregation, church, or society, under the patronage, control, direction, or supervision of any ecclesiastical body, or diocesan, or like ecclesiastical officer, after the same has become incorporated under Sections 46a to 46h, inclusive, of this Act, and their successors, shall have perpetual succession with power to adopt a common seal, which may be altered and changed at pleasure, contract, and be contracted with, sue and be sued, plead and be impleaded, by the corporate name of such congregation, in all courts, whatever; to receive, hold, dispose of, mortgage, and convey any kind of property; to make and adopt by-laws for their government, not inconsistent with Sections 46a to 46h, inclusive, of this Act, or with the rules and regulations of the sect or denomination having the charge or patronage of the corporation; and shall alone have power to make all contracts needful in the management of the temporal affairs of such congregation, church, or society: but no conveyance, or mortgage shall be made to affect, or destroy the intent of any grant, legacy, or donation, that may be made to any person, or trustee, for the use of such congregation, church, or society, or for the use of any sect, or denomination. However, this limitation on the disposition of real or personal property does not apply to the extent that a restriction imposed by a donor on the use of an institutional fund may be released by the governing board of an institution under the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. The trustees of any corporation, organized under Sections 46a to 46h, inclusive, of this Act, which is, or may be, under the control, patronage, direction or, supervision of any ecclesiastical body, diocesan, or like officer, shall hold and control, invest or reinvest the real and personal property of such corporation, and contract with reference thereto, according to the "Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act", or the rules, regulations, constitution, articles of association, by-laws, or canons of such ecclesiastical body, diocesan, or like ecclesiastical officer.
