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.

55 ILCS 5/5-1014

(55 ILCS 5/5-1014) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1014)

Sec. 5-1014.

Powers generally.

The county board of each county has
the powers enumerated in the Sections following this Section and preceding
Section 5-1105, subject to conditions therein stated.  Powers conferred on
counties are in addition to and not in limitation of their existing powers.

It is the policy of this State that all powers granted, either expressly
or by necessary implication, by this Code, other Illinois statute, or the
Illinois Constitution to non-home rule counties may be exercised by those
counties notwithstanding effects on competition. It is the intention of the
General Assembly that the "State action exemption" to the application of
federal antitrust statutes be fully available to counties to the extent
their activities are authorized by law as stated herein.
