1 AN ACT to amend the Township Code by changing Section
2 15-20.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Township Code is amended by changing
6 Section 15-20 as follows:
7 (60 ILCS 1/15-20)
8 Sec. 15-20. Failure of proposition to disconnect; status
9 quo. Where the proposition to disconnect the territory fails
10 and it remains with the adjacent township, the status quo and
11 operation of a township and the officers of a township
12 coterminous with a city at the time provided for in this
13 Article is not to be affected. Where the proposition to
14 disconnect fails, the status quo of a council of a city that
15 is coterminous with a township at the time provided for in
16 this Article and that already is vested with the authority to
17 exercise all powers vested in that township is not affected.
18 Where a city coterminous at the time provided for in this
19 Article has provided by operation of law that certain offices
20 of the city and the coterminous township shall be united in
21 the same person, or that the office and election of highway
22 commissioners shall be discontinued, that provision shall
23 continue to be the case after the proposition to disconnect
24 the territory fails. Where the proposition to disconnect
25 fails, vacancies in any of the township offices in a township
26 coterminous at the time provided for in this Section may
27 continue to be filled by the city council. Where the
28 proposition to disconnect fails or the city, its coterminous
29 township, and the adjacent township agree by
30 intergovernmental cooperation agreement that the territory
31 shall remain part of the adjacent township, the city may

5 adjacent township is not disqualified from serving on the
6 board of the conterminous township or from voting on matters
