65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal 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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-14-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-14-3)

Sec. 11-14-3.

The regulations imposed under the authority of this Division
14 may be amended from time to time by ordinance after the ordinance
establishing the regulations has gone into effect, but no amendment shall
be made without a hearing before a commission or committee designated by
the corporate authorities of the municipality. A notice of the time and
place of such a hearing shall be given at least once, not more than 30 nor
less than 15 days before the hearing, by publishing a notice thereof in one
or more newspapers published in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is
published therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
circulation within the municipality. In municipalities with less than 500
population in which no newspaper is published, publication may instead be
made by posting a notice in 3 prominent places within the municipality. An
amendment shall not be passed except by a favorable vote of two-thirds of
the members of the city council then holding office in cities or members of
the board of trustees then holding office in villages or incorporated
towns.
