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.

(620 ILCS 45/7) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 90)

Sec. 7.

In all cases where property or property rights are acquired or
sought to be acquired by the Board of Directors by condemnation, the
procedure shall be in the name of the county in which such airport is
located and the procedure shall be as nearly as may be in accordance with
that provided for the exercise of the right of
eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act.
The Board of
Directors shall adopt a resolution setting forth the necessity for such
condemnation, the description of the land required and the purposes
therefor, stating the facts pertaining to the negotiations by the Board of
Directors and the owner or owners of such land or air rights above such
land, and the fact that the directors and the owner or owners thereof
cannot agree upon the price therefor, or that the title thereto, or the air
rights thereon cannot be obtained except by condemnation for the reason of
the legal disability of the owner or owners thereof
or persons interested
therein as the case may be, and cause a proper authenticated copy of the
resolution to be filed with the county board of the county in which such
airport is situated. The county board shall then examine the resolution and
upon determining that the acquisition of the land or air rights are for the
best interests of the airport and the public generally, may authorize the
condemnation in the same manner as the county may do for general purposes
of the county; provided, that all costs expenses and awards in condemnation
shall be paid from the Airport fund.
