65 ILCS 35/ Village Incorporation Validation Act.

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.

Sec. 1.

Whenever the legal voters of any territory have, for at least 20
years preceding the effective date of this Act, elected village officers,
who have levied taxes and have performed the functions of and acted as the
corporate authorities of a village, and the court records of the
incorporation of such territory as a village have been destroyed and the
records in the office of the Secretary of State are missing or are
incomplete, such territory is declared to be validly organized and
incorporated as a village and all the acts taken in reliance upon such
