Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.



70 ILCS 705/1.01

    (70 ILCS 705/1.01) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 21a)
    Sec. 1.01. Where an election has been held to organize any territory as a Fire Protection District under this Act, at which election a majority of the votes cast in the territory proposed to be organized was against the organization of a Fire Protection District, or in case a city, village or incorporated town is in the territory sought to be organized, then if the proposition failed to receive a majority of the votes cast either in such city, village or incorporated town or in the territory outside of such city, village or incorporated town, then no subsequent election shall be held to organize such territory, or any part thereof, into a Fire Protection District for a period of one year after such election.
