(65 ILCS 5/2-2-14) (from Ch. 24, par. 2-2-14)
Sec. 2-2-14.
In any county of between 150,000 and 1,000,000 population which has
adopted an official plan under "An Act to provide for regional planning and
for the creation, organization and powers of regional planning
commissions", approved June 25, 1929, as amended, the county board, by
resolution, may provide that before the question of incorporating a city
under this Division is submitted to the electors in response to a petition
filed under Section 2-2-6 the county board must first determine that (1)
the proposed incorporation is compatible with the official plan for the
development of the county, and (2) the lands described in the petition as
intended to be embraced in the proposed city constitute a sufficient tax
base as will insure the ability of the city to provide all necessary
municipal services to its inhabitants. When such a resolution is in effect,
the court in which such a petition is filed shall first require a showing
that those determinations have been made by the county board. If no such
showing is made the court shall deny the petition. If such a showing is
made, the court shall proceed as provided in Section 2-2-6.
