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.

Sec. 11.5.

Limitation on liability.

(a) In joining the State-Wide One-Call Notice System, a municipality's
liability,
under any membership agreement rules and regulations, for the indemnification
of (i) the entity that is in charge of or managing the System
or any officer, agent, or employee of that entity or (ii) a member of the
System or any officer, agent, or employee of a member of the System shall be
limited to claims arising as a result of the acts or omissions
of the municipality or its officers, agents, or employees or arising out of the
operations of the municipality's underground utility facilities.

(b) Subsection (a) shall not be
construed to create any additional liability for a municipality in relation to
any member of the System with which the municipality may have entered into a
franchise agreement.
If a municipality's liability for indemnification under a franchise agreement
is narrower than under this Section, the franchise agreement
controls.
