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. 30-130.
Inoperable motor vehicles.
(a) The electors may by ordinance declare inoperable motor vehicles, whether
on public or private property, to be a nuisance and may authorize fines to be
levied for the failure of any person to obey a notice from the township stating
that the person is to dispose of any inoperable motor vehicles under his or her
control. The electors may authorize a law enforcement agency with applicable
jurisdiction to remove, after 7 days from the issuance of the township notice,
any inoperable motor vehicle or parts of such a vehicle.
(b) Nothing in this Section applies to any motor vehicle that is kept within
a building when not in use, to an operable historic vehicle over 25 years of
age, or to a motor vehicle on the premises of a place of business engaged in
the wrecking or junking of motor vehicles.
(c) As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means any motor
vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days or any longer period of
time fixed by ordinance, the engine, wheels, or other parts have been removed,
or on which the engine, wheels, or other parts have been altered, damaged, or
otherwise treated so that the vehicle is incapable of being driven under its
own motor power. "Inoperable motor vehicle" does not include a motor vehicle
that has been rendered temporarily incapable of being driven under its own
motor power in order to perform ordinary service or repair operations.
