65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

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. 11-119.1-10.

Exercise of powers.

A municipal power agency may
exercise any and all of
the powers enumerated in this Division, except the power of eminent domain,
without the consent and approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission.  The
exercise of the power of eminent domain by a municipal power agency shall be
subject to the consent and approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission in the
same manner and to
the same extent as public utilities under the Public Utilities
Act, including the issuance
of a certificate of public convenience and necessity as provided for in Section
8-406 of that Act.  During
the consideration of any petition for authority to exercise the power of
eminent domain the Illinois Commerce Commission shall evaluate and give due
consideration to the impact of the acquisition on farmlands in the State with
the
goal of preserving the land to the fullest extent reasonably possible.

A.

This Division shall be construed liberally to
effectuate its legislative intent and purpose, as complete and independent
authority for the performance of each and every act and thing authorized by
this Division, and all authority granted shall be broadly interpreted to
effectuate this intent and purpose and not as a limitation of powers.  This
Division is expressly not a limit on any of the powers granted any unit of
local government of this State by constitution, statute, charter or otherwise,
other than when the unit of local government is acting expressly pursuant to
this Division.

B. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Division
and any other law or charter provision, the provisions of this Division shall
prevail.

C. Any provision of this Division which may be determined by competent
authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
