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.

Sec. 11-97-4.

The corporate authorities, by ordinance, may regulate,
restrain, and control the speed of travel upon these pleasure driveways,
may prescribe the kind of vehicles that shall be allowed thereon, and in
all things may regulate, restrain, and control the use of these pleasure
driveways. The corporate authorities may exclude therefrom funeral
processions, hearses, and traffic teams and vehicles, so as to free these
pleasure driveways from all business traffic or objectionable travel and
make them pleasure driveways for pleasure driving only. They may prescribe
in that ordinance such fines or penalties for the violation thereof as they
are allowed by law to prescribe for the violation of other ordinances.

65 ILCS 5/11-98-1

(65 ILCS 5/11-98-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-98-1)

Sec. 11-98-1.

The corporate authorities of each city and village with a population of
less than 85,000, whether incorporated under the general law or a
special charter, may purchase, establish, and maintain public parks for
the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the municipality. For that
purpose, the corporate authorities may levy a tax not to exceed .075%,
or the rate limit in effect on September 1, 1967, whichever is greater,
of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
annually on all taxable property embraced in the
municipality for the current year. This tax shall be levied and
collected in the manner provided by law for the levy and collection of
other municipal taxes in the municipality.

If the inhabitants of a specified municipality with a population of
500 or more so determine, as provided by Section 11-98-2, this annual
tax may be levied in that municipality in addition to taxes for general
purposes authorized by Section 8-3-1, and in addition to taxes levied as
limited by any provision of a special charter under which the
municipality is now incorporated.

The corporate authorities have the power to lease such a public park
for the purpose of holding county fairs therein.

The foregoing limitations upon tax rates may be increased or
decreased under the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.
