55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

Each county board shall fix a permit fee not to

fair association, state fair or other not for profit association or

which the permit is effective. Provided, however, that if the race or event
for which such permit is issued, is rained out or postponed for other good
cause shown, the permit shall be valid for use within the next 8 days of
the date specified in the permit. No permit shall be issued unless the fee
is fully paid in advance of issuance. The county board shall pay one-half
of each fee into the county treasury and shall transfer the remainder to
the road and bridge fund of the township or road district wherein the race
or event takes place.
