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. 11-95-5.
A recreation board or other authority in which is vested the
power to establish, conduct, and maintain playgrounds and recreation
centers pursuant to this Division 95, may accept any grant or legacy of
real estate or any gift or legacy of money or other personal property or
any donation, the principal or income of which is to be applied for either
temporary or permanent use for recreation purposes. But if the acceptance
thereof for recreation purposes will subject the municipality to expense
for improvements, maintenance, or renewal, the acceptance shall be subject
to the approval of the corporate authorities of the municipality.
Money received for recreation purposes, unless otherwise provided by the
terms of the gift or legacy, shall be deposited with the municipal
treasurer to the account of the recreation board or other specified
authority. This money may be withdrawn and paid out in the same manner as
money appropriated for recreation purposes.
