Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

70 ILCS 2805/45

    (70 ILCS 2805/45) (from Ch. 42, par. 447.9)
    Sec. 45. Recommendation by committee. Accompanying any ordinance for a local improvement presented by the committee of local improvements to the board shall be a recommendation of such improvement by the committee signed by at least a majority of the members thereof, together with an estimate of the cost of the improvement, including the cost of engineering services, as originally contemplated or as changed, altered or modified at the public hearing, itemized so far as the committee deems necessary and signed by the board's engineer. The recommendation by the committee shall be prima facie evidence that all the preliminary requirements of the law have been complied with. If a variance is shown on the proceedings in the court, it shall not affect the validity of the proceeding unless the court deems the variance willful and substantial.
    In the event the improvement is to be constructed with assistance from any agency of the federal government or other governmental agency, the estimate of cost shall state this fact and shall set forth the estimated amount that is to be provided by the agency of the federal government or other governmental agency.
    The person appointed to make the assessments as provided hereinafter shall make a true and impartial assessment upon the petitioning district and the property benefited by such improvement of that portion of the estimated cost that is within the benefits exclusive of the amount to be provided by the agency of the federal government or other governmental agency.
