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.

Sec. 5-701.6.

Any county board with the approval of the Department may also  use motor fuel tax money allotted to it for the purpose of the payment for
investigations requisite to determine the reasonably anticipated need for
any of the work described in Sections 5-701.1 to 5-701.5, inclusive, of
this Code. Such investigations may include, but shall not be limited to,
the making of traffic surveys, the study of transportation facilities,
research concerning the development of the several areas within the county
and contiguous territory as affected by growth and changes in population
and economic activity and the collection and review of data relating to all
factors affecting the judicious planning of construction, reconstruction,
improvement and maintenance of highways. The investigations for which any
such payments are made may also be conducted in cooperation with other
counties, municipalities, the State of Illinois, the United States, other
states of the United States, agencies of any such governments or other
persons in pursuance of agreements to share the costs thereof and authority
to enter into such agreements is hereby conferred upon counties.
