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.

(60 ILCS 1/135-20)

Sec. 135-20. Powers of board of managers.

The board of managers shall
control and manage the cemeteries jointly acquired by the townships or road
districts. The board of managers may receive in trust from the proprietors or
owners of any lot in the cemeteries, or any person, corporation, association,
or society interested in the maintenance of those cemeteries, any gift or
legacy of money or real, personal, or mixed property that is donated or
bequeathed to the board of managers for the use and maintenance of the lot or
cemeteries. The board of managers may convert the property into money, may
invest the money in securities in which trust funds may be invested under the Illinois Trust Code, and may apply the income perpetually for the care of
the lot or the care and maintenance of the cemeteries as specified in the gift
or legacy or as provided by the board of managers if the gift or legacy does
not specify the manner in which the income is to be expended.
