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.
(220 ILCS 5/9-223) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 9-223)
Sec. 9-223. Fire protection charge.
(a) The Commission may authorize any public utility engaged in
the production, storage, transmission, sale, delivery or furnishing of water
to impose a fire protection charge, in addition to any rate authorized by
this Act, sufficient to cover a reasonable portion of the cost of providing
the capacity, facilities and the water necessary to meet the fire protection
needs of any municipality or public fire protection district. Such fire
protection charge shall be in the form of a fixed amount per bill and shall
be shown separately on the utility bill of each customer of the municipality
or fire protection district. Any filing by a public utility to impose such a
fire protection charge or to modify a charge shall be made pursuant to Section
9-201 of this Act. Any fire protection charge imposed shall reflect the
costs associated with providing fire protection service for each municipality
or fire protection district. No such charge shall be imposed directly on
any municipality or fire protection district for a reasonable level of fire
protection services unless provided for in a separate agreement between the
municipality or the fire protection district and the utility.
(b) (Blank).
