Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

the transaction of its business pursuant to any authority other than a
franchise or license from the city council, which has not expired, shall
cease and desist from using or occupying any such street or other public
way or public place unless it shall have obtained a franchise or license
from the city council for such use or occupancy.
No such public utility shall continue to use or occupy any street or
other public way or public place within control of the city of Chicago
after the expiration of its franchise or license from the city council
unless the term of such franchise or license shall have been extended prior
to its expiration. Any such public utility which shall have subsisting a
franchise or license from the city of Chicago to use or occupy any street
or other public way or public place within control of the city of Chicago
