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 5/5-1092) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1092)
Sec. 5-1092. Inoperable motor vehicles. A county board may
declare by ordinance inoperable motor vehicles, whether on public or
private property, to be a nuisance and authorize fines to be levied for the
failure of any person to obey a notice received from the county which
states that such person is to dispose of any inoperable motor vehicles
under his control, and may authorize a law enforcement agency, with
applicable jurisdiction, to remove, after 7 days from the issuance of the
county notice, any inoperable motor vehicle or parts thereof. However,
nothing in this Section shall apply to any motor vehicle that is kept
within a building when not in use, to operable historic vehicles over 25
years of age, or to a motor vehicle on the premises of a place of business
engaged in the wrecking or junking of motor vehicles.
As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means any motor
vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days or any
longer period of time fixed by ordinance, the engine, wheels
or other parts have been removed, or on which the engine, wheels or other
parts have been altered, damaged or otherwise so treated that the vehicle
is incapable of being driven under its own motor power. "Inoperable motor
vehicle" shall not include a motor vehicle which has been rendered
temporarily incapable of being driven under its own motor power in order to
perform ordinary service or repair operations. In a non-home rule county with a population of more than 500,000, "inoperable motor vehicle" also includes any motor vehicle that does not have a current license plate or current license tags attached to it if a current license plate or license tags are required under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
