Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

Sec. 11-74.2-16.
The corporate authorities are authorized and
empowered to incur indebtedness and issue revenue bonds in such amounts
as they deem necessary for the purpose of raising funds for carrying out
the provisions of a final redevelopment plan providing for the
eradication and elimination of commercial blight and conditions likely
to create blight and the acquisition, development or redevelopment of
commercial blight or conservation areas and any other area which may
constitute a redevelopment area within the municipality or for the
purpose of financing in whole or in part the cost of acquisition,
construction and financing of any commercial projects. The ordinance
authorizing the issuance of such revenue bonds shall specify the total
amount of bonds to be issued, the form and denomination, the date they
are to bear, the place at which they are payable, the date or dates of
maturity which shall not be later than 40 years after date, the rate of
interest
which shall not exceed that permitted in "An Act to authorize public corporations
to issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26,
1970, as now or hereafter amended. The ordinance
shall also specify the dates
on which
interest is payable. Such bonds shall be sold at private or public sale
at a price of not less than 97% of par. The bonds shall be executed by such officials as
may be provided in the bond ordinance. The bonds may be made
registerable to principal and may be made callable on any interest
payment date, with or without premium, plus accrued interest
after notice has been given in
the manner provided in the bond ordinance. The bonds shall remain valid
even though one or more of the officers executing the bonds cease to
hold office before the bonds are delivered.
The amendatory Acts of 1971, 1972 and 1973 are not a limit upon any
municipality which is a home rule unit.

The bonds shall contain a provision that the principal and
interest thereon shall be payable exclusively from the proceeds and
revenues of any commercial redevelopment plan or commercial project which

contribution from any other public or private body, instrumentality,
corporation or individual, or any duly executed contract for such pledge,

thereof. The bonds shall not be payable out of any funds of the

The bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction.

65 ILCS 5/11-74.3-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-74.3-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.3-1)
Sec. 11-74.3-1. Division short title; declaration of public purpose. This Division 74.3 may be cited as the Business District Development and Redevelopment Law. It is hereby found and declared: (1) It is essential to the economic and social welfare of
each municipality that business districts be developed, redeveloped, improved, maintained, and revitalized, that jobs and opportunity for employment be created within the municipality, and that, if blighting conditions are present, blighting conditions be eradicated by
assuring opportunities for development or redevelopment, encouraging private investment, and attracting
sound and stable business and commercial growth. It is further found and determined that as a result of economic conditions unfavorable to the creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of certain business and commercial areas within municipalities opportunities for private investment and sound and stable commercial growth have been and will continue to be negatively impacted and business and commercial areas within many municipalities have deteriorated and will continue to deteriorate, thereby causing a serious menace to the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of the entire State, unemployment, a decline in tax revenues, excessive and disproportionate expenditure of public funds, inadequate public and private investment, the unmarketability of property, and the growth of delinquencies and crime. In order to reduce threats to and to promote and protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the public and to provide incentives which will create employment and job opportunities, will retain commercial businesses in the State and related job opportunities and will eradicate blighting conditions if blighting conditions are present, and for the relief of unemployment and the maintenance of existing levels of employment, it is essential that plans for business districts be created and implemented and that business districts be created, developed, improved, maintained, and redeveloped.
(2) The creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of business districts will stimulate economic activity in the State, create and maintain jobs, increase tax revenues, encourage the creation of new and lasting infrastructure, other improvements, and facilities, and cause the attraction and retention of businesses and commercial enterprises which generate economic activity and services and increase the general tax base, including, but not limited to, increased retail sales, hotel or restaurant sales, manufacturing sales, or entertainment industry sales, thereby increasing employment and economic growth. (3) It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State, in the interest of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of all the people of the State, to provide incentives which will create new job opportunities and retain existing commercial businesses within the State and related job opportunities, and it is further determined and declared that the relief of conditions of unemployment, the maintenance of existing levels of employment, the creation of new job opportunities, the retention of existing commercial businesses, the increase of industry and commerce within the State, the reduction of the evils attendant upon unemployment, and the increase and maintenance of the tax base of the State and its political subdivisions are public purposes and for the public safety, benefit, and welfare of the residents of this State. (4) The exercise of the powers provided in this Law is dedicated to the promotion of the public interest, to the enhancement of the tax base within business districts, municipalities, and the State and its political subdivisions, the creation of employment, and the eradication of blight, if present within the business district, and the use of such powers for the creation, development, improvement, maintenance, and redevelopment of business districts of a municipality is hereby declared to be for the public safety, benefit, and welfare of the residents of the State and essential to the public interest and declared to be for public purposes.
