Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

65 ILCS 5/3.1-40-50

(65 ILCS 5/3.1-40-50) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-40-50)

Sec. 3.1-40-50. Reconsideration; passing over veto.

Every resolution
and motion specified in Section 3.1-40-45, and every ordinance, that is
returned to the city council by
the mayor shall be reconsidered by the city council at the next regular
meeting following the regular meeting at which the city council receives the
mayor's written objection.  If, after
reconsideration, two-thirds of all the alderpersons then holding office on
the city council agree at that regular meeting to pass an ordinance,
resolution, or
motion, notwithstanding the mayor's refusal to approve it, then it shall
be effective. The vote on the question of passage over the mayor's veto
shall be by yeas and nays and shall be recorded in the journal.

This Section does not apply to municipalities with more than 500,000
inhabitants.
