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.
(605 ILCS 5/6-104) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-104)
Sec. 6-104.
Whenever the territory of any municipality is a part of a road district in a county
not under township organization, and shall by resolution of its council or
its president and board of trustees request the county board to organize it
into a separate road district and designate the name thereof, the county
board shall comply with such request, and provide for such organization of
such municipality into a new road district under the name designated in
such resolution of such city council, or president and board of trustees,
if any be designated therein.
Whenever a road district shall have been or shall hereafter be organized
as provided in this Section and any of the territory of such municipality
shall be disconnected from such municipality, the county board, upon
receipt of a certified copy of the resolution or ordinance of the
municipality disconnecting such territory, by resolution, shall disconnect
such territory from such road district and annex it to an adjacent road
district or districts. Whenever such municipality, at any one time shall
have annexed or shall hereafter annex any territory, the county board, by
resolution, shall disconnect such territory from the road district or
districts in which it may be situated and annex the same to the road
district in which such municipality is situated.
All the powers vested in a road district organized out of the territory
embraced within any municipality, including all the powers vested by law in
the highway commissioner of a road district, shall be vested in and
exercised by the city council, or president and board of trustees of such
municipality, including the power to levy a tax for the proper
construction, maintenance and repair of roads in such district as provided
in Section 6--501 of this Code. Any such tax whether heretofore or
hereafter levied shall be in addition to all other taxes levied in such
municipality and in addition to the taxes for general purposes authorized
in Section 8-3-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as heretofore and
hereafter amended.
All of the powers vested by law in the district clerk of a road district
shall be vested in and exercised by the city, town or village clerk of such
municipality.
After a road district has been organized out of the territory embraced
within a municipality, the offices and election of highway commissioner and
district clerk shall be discontinued.
