60 ILCS 1/ Township 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.

Corporate trustee.

Whenever any money or other property has
been  given or bequeathed to the board of managers of a cemetery owned or
controlled by a township for the purpose of maintaining a lot in the cemetery
or maintaining the cemetery as provided in this Article, the township may
provide for the appointment of a corporation authorized to do trust business as
trustee of the money or property, in place of the treasurer of the board of
managers. The corporate trustee has the same powers, authority, and duties with
regard to the administration of the trust funds as are provided in this Article
for the treasurer of the board of managers, except that it shall not be
required to execute a bond and may charge for its services as trustee amounts
agreed upon from time to time with the township authorities. The corporate
trustee may invest the trust funds in any investment authorized by the laws of
Illinois as proper fiduciary investments. The trustee may retain any property
given or bequeathed to it in trust even though the property may not be a legal
investment under the laws of Illinois.
