70 ILCS 710/ Fire Protection District 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.

(70 ILCS 710/1) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 45.4)

Sec. 1.

In all cases where proceedings were had to organize a fire
protection district under "An Act in relation to fire protection
districts", approved July 8, 1927, as amended, and the court having
jurisdiction of such proceedings ordered an election to submit to the legal
voters of the proposed fire protection district the question of
organization and establishment of the proposed fire protection district,
and an election was held throughout the territory of the proposed district
as described in the court proceedings and the order of the court, and at
such election a majority of the votes cast upon the question within the
limits of each city, village or incorporated town in the territory of the
proposed district and also a majority of the votes cast outside the limits
of each such city, village or incorporated town were in favor of the
proposed fire protection district, and the court entered an order declaring
such fire protection district organized, such territory is hereby declared
to be legally and validly organized as a fire protection district under
such Act, despite any defect in the published notice of election with
respect to the description of the territory included in the proposed
district, provided the election was in fact held throughout the territory
of the proposed district.
