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.

Villages and towns under special Acts.

The trustees
in
every village or incorporated town
specified in Section 3.1-25-70 shall have the same powers and perform the
same duties as have been given by any special Act to the legislative
body of that specified village or incorporated town and that have
been given or may later be given to trustees in villages
or incorporated towns organized under this Code. This Section, however,
does not authorize the trustees in a village or incorporated town
to perform any act that its legislative body is specifically
prohibited from performing under the terms of the Act creating that
village or incorporated town.  This Section shall not apply to or change
the powers of the members of the legislative body of incorporated towns
that have superseded civil townships.
