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 5/9-2-13) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-13)

Sec. 9-2-13. Publication and posting of ordinances.

Upon the presentation to the corporate authorities of the
proposed ordinance, together with the required recommendation and estimate,
if the estimate of cost exceeds the sum of $1,000,000, exclusive of the
amount to be paid for land to be taken or damaged, the ordinance shall be
referred to the proper committee and published in the usual way or posted on the municipality's Internet website, in full,
with the recommendation and estimate, at least 10 days before any action is
taken thereon by the corporate authorities. Whenever any plat, plan,
profile, or drawing is a part of the ordinance, or is attached thereto as a
part thereof, or is referred to by the ordinance, it is not necessary to
publish or post that plat, plan, profile, or drawing in connection with the
publication or posting of the ordinance.
