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.

(20 ILCS 860/5a) (from Ch. 105, par. 535a)

Sec. 5a.

Projects involving participating Federal-aid funds may be
undertaken by the Department of Natural Resources after it has been
determined that sufficient funds are available to the Department for
meeting the non-federal share of project costs. It is the legislative
intent that, to such extent as may be necessary to assure the proper
operation, maintenance and preservation of
historic properties and interests surveyed, acquired or developed
pursuant to any program participated in by this State under authority of
this Act, such historic properties and interests shall
be publicly maintained for
historic preservation purposes. The Department of Natural Resources 
may enter
into and administer agreements with the United States or any appropriate
agency thereof for survey, planning, acquisition, development and preservation projects
involving participating Federal-aid funds on behalf of any county, city,
other governmental unit or qualified participant provided such county, city, other local
governmental unit or qualified participant gives necessary assurances to
the Department of Natural Resources 
that it has available sufficient funds to meet its share of
the cost of the project and that the surveyed, acquired or developed
historic properties and interests will be
operated and maintained at its expense for
historic preservation purposes.
