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. 11-39-3. Builder or developer cash bond or other surety.
(a) A municipality may not require a cash bond, irrevocable letter of
credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment issued by a bank, savings and loan
association, surety, or insurance company from a builder or developer
to guarantee completion of a project improvement when the builder or developer
has filed with the municipal clerk a
current, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond, or letter of commitment
issued by a bank, savings and loan association, surety, or insurance company,
deemed good and sufficient
by the municipality accepting such security, in an
amount
equal
to or greater than 110% of the amount of the bid on each project improvement.
A builder or developer has the option to utilize a
cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit,
surety bond, or letter of commitment, issued by a bank, savings and loan
association, surety, or insurance company, deemed good and
sufficient
by the municipality, to
satisfy any cash bond requirement established by a municipality.
Except for a municipality or county with a population of 1,000,000 or more,
the municipality must approve and deem a surety or insurance
company good and sufficient for the purposes set forth in this Section if the
surety or insurance company is authorized by the Illinois Department
of Insurance to sell and issue sureties in the State of Illinois.
(b) If a municipality receives a cash bond, irrevocable letter of credit,
or surety bond from a builder or developer to
guarantee completion of a project improvement, the municipality shall (i)
register the bond
under
the address of the project and the construction permit number and (ii) give the
builder or developer a receipt for the bond. The municipality shall establish
and
maintain a separate account for all cash bonds received from builders and
developers to guarantee completion of a project improvement.
(c) The municipality shall refund a cash bond to a builder or developer,
or release the irrevocable letter of credit or surety bond
within
60 days after the builder or developer notifies the municipality in writing of
the
completion of the project improvement for which the bond
was required.
For these purposes, "completion" means that the municipality has determined
that the project improvement for which the bond was required is complete or a
licensed engineer or licensed architect has certified to the builder or
developer and the municipality that the project improvement has been completed
to the applicable codes and ordinances.
The municipality shall pay interest to the builder or developer, beginning 60
days after builder or developer notifies the municipality in writing of the
completion of
the
project improvement, on any bond not refunded to a builder or developer, at
the rate of 1%
per month.
(d) A home rule municipality may not require or maintain cash bonds,
irrevocable letters of credit, surety bonds, or letters of commitment issued by
a bank, savings and loan association, surety, or insurance company
from
builders or developers in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This
Section supersedes and controls over other provisions of this Code
as they apply to and guarantee completion of a project improvement that is
required by the municipality, regardless of whether the project improvement is
a condition of annexation agreements. This
Section is a denial and limitation under subsection (i) of Section
6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by a
home rule municipality of powers and functions exercised by the State.

65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-20 (65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-20) Sec. 11-39.2-20. Development of scope and performance criteria. (a) The municipality must develop, with the assistance of a licensed design professional or public art designer, a request for proposal, which must include scope and performance criteria. The scope and performance criteria must be in sufficient detail and contain adequate information to reasonably apprise the qualified design-build entities of the municipality's overall programmatic needs and goals, including criteria and preliminary design plans, general budget parameters, schedule, and delivery requirements. (b) Each request for proposal must also include a description of the level of design to be provided in the proposals. This description must include the scope and type of renderings, drawings, and specifications that, at a minimum, will be required by the municipality to be produced by the design-build entities.

65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-25 (65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-25) Sec. 11-39.2-25. Procedures for Selection. (a) The municipality must use a two-phase procedure for the selection of the successful design-build entity. Phase I of the procedure will evaluate and shortlist the design-build entities based on qualifications, and Phase II will evaluate the technical and cost proposals. (b) The municipality must include in the request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase I. These factors are in addition to any prequalification requirements of design-build entities that the municipality has set forth. Each request for proposal must establish the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the municipality. The municipality must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the solicitation. The municipality must include the following criteria in every Phase I evaluation of design-build entities: (i) experience of personnel; (ii) successful experience with similar project types; (iii) financial capability; (iv) timeliness of past performance; (v) experience with similarly sized projects; (vi) successful reference checks of the firm; (vii) commitment to assign personnel for the duration of the project and qualifications of the entity's consultants; and (viii) ability or past performance in meeting or exhausting good faith efforts to meet the utilization goals for business enterprises established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. The municipality may include any additional, relevant criteria in Phase I that it deems necessary for a proper qualification review. The municipality may not consider any design-build entity for evaluation or award if the entity has any pecuniary interest in the project or has other relationships or circumstances, such as long-term leasehold, mutual performance, or development contracts with the municipality, that may give the design-build entity a financial or tangible advantage over other design-build entities in the preparation, evaluation, or performance of the design-build contract or that create the appearance of impropriety. No proposal may be considered that does not include an entity's plan to comply with the requirements established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, for both the design and construction areas of performance, and with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. Upon completion of the qualification evaluation, the municipality must create a shortlist of the most highly qualified design-build entities. The municipality, in its discretion, is not required to shortlist the maximum number of entities as identified for Phase II evaluation if no less than 2 design-build entities nor more than 6 are selected to submit Phase II proposals. The municipality must notify the entities selected for the shortlist in writing. This notification must commence the period for the preparation of the Phase II technical and cost evaluations. The municipality must allow sufficient time for the shortlist entities to prepare their Phase II submittals considering the scope and detail requested by the municipality. (c) The municipality must include in the request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in the technical and cost submission components of Phase II. Each request for proposal must establish, for both the technical and cost submission components of Phase II, the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the municipality. The municipality must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the solicitation. The municipality must include the following criteria in every Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities: (i) compliance with objectives of the project; (ii) compliance of proposed services to the request for proposal requirements; (iii) quality of products or materials proposed; (iv) quality of design parameters; (v) design concepts; (vi) innovation in meeting the scope and performance criteria; and (vii) constructability of the proposed project. The municipality may include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems necessary for proper selection. The municipality must include the following criteria in every Phase II cost evaluation: the total project cost, the construction costs, and the time of completion. The municipality may include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems necessary for proper selection. The total project cost criteria weighting factor may not exceed 30%. The municipality must directly employ or retain a licensed design professional or a public art designer to evaluate the technical and cost submissions to determine if the technical submissions are in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. Upon completion of the technical submissions and cost submissions evaluation, the municipality may award the design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity.

Proposals may not be reviewed until after the deadline for submission has passed as set forth in the request for proposals. Proposals must include a bid bond in the form and security as designated in the request for proposals. Proposals must also contain a separate sealed envelope with the cost information within the overall proposal submission. Proposals must include a list of all design professionals, public art designers, and other entities to which any work may be subcontracted during the performance of the contract. Proposals must meet all material requirements of the request for proposal or they may be rejected as nonresponsive. The municipality may reject any and all proposals. The drawings and specifications of the proposal may remain the property of the design-build entity. The municipality must review the proposals for compliance with the performance criteria and evaluation factors. Proposals may be withdrawn prior to evaluation for any cause. After evaluation begins by the municipality, clear and convincing evidence of error is required for withdrawal. After a response to a request for qualifications or a request for proposal has been submitted as provided in this Section, a design-build entity may not replace, remove, or otherwise modify any firm identified as a member of the proposer's team unless authorized to do so by the municipality.

Subject to the provisions of Section 11-40-3.1 of this
Code, the corporate authorities of each municipality may by
ordinance declare all inoperable motor vehicles, whether on public or
private property and in view of the general public, to be a nuisance
and authorize fines to be levied for the failure of any person to obey a
notice received from the municipality which states that such person is to
dispose of any inoperable motor vehicles under his control, and may
authorize a law enforcement agency, with applicable jurisdiction, to
remove, after 7 days from the issuance of the municipal notice, any
inoperable motor vehicle or parts thereof. However, nothing in this Section
shall apply to any motor vehicle that is kept within a building when not in
use, to operable historic vehicles over 25 years of age, or to a motor
vehicle on the premises of a place of business engaged in the wrecking or
junking of motor vehicles.
As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means any motor
vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days or any greater period
fixed by ordinance, the engine, wheels or other parts have been removed, or

Sec. 11-40-3.1.
The General Assembly hereby finds that in municipalities
of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, the proliferation of hazardous
dilapidated motor vehicles constitutes a hazard to the health, safety and
welfare of the public, and that addressing the problems caused by such
abandoned dilapidated vehicles constitutes a compelling and fundamental
governmental interest. The General Assembly also finds that the only
effective method of dealing with the problem is to promulgate a
comprehensive scheme to expedite the towing and disposal of such vehicles.
The corporate authorities of each municipality of 1,000,000 inhabitants or
more may by ordinance declare all inoperable motor vehicles, whether on
public or private property and in view of the general public, to be
hazardous dilapidated motor vehicles, and may authorize a law enforcement
agency, with applicable jurisdiction, to remove immediately, any hazardous
dilapidated motor vehicle or parts thereof. Nothing in this Section shall
apply to any motor vehicle that is kept within a building when not in use,
to operable historic vehicles over 25 years of age, or to a motor vehicle
on the premises of a place of business engaged in the wrecking, selling, or junking
of motor vehicles.
As used in this Section, "hazardous dilapidated motor vehicle" means any
motor vehicle with a substantial number of essential parts, as defined by
Section 1-118 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, either damaged, removed or
altered or otherwise so treated that the vehicle is incapable of being
driven under its own motor power or, which by its general state of
deterioration, poses a threat to the public's health, safety and welfare.
"Hazardous dilapidated motor vehicle" shall not include a motor vehicle
which has been rendered temporarily incapable of being driven under its own

(65 ILCS 5/11-42-11) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-42-11)
Sec. 11-42-11. Community antenna television systems; satellite transmitted
television programming.
(a) The corporate authorities of each municipality may
license, franchise and tax the business of operating a community antenna
television system as hereinafter defined. In municipalities with less
than 2,000,000 inhabitants, the corporate authorities may, under the limited
circumstances set forth in this Section, own (or lease as
lessee) and operate a community antenna television system; provided that a
municipality may not acquire,
construct,
own, or operate a community antenna television system
for the use
or benefit
of private consumers or users, and may not charge a fee for that consumption or
use,
unless the proposition to acquire, construct, own, or operate a cable antenna
television system has been submitted to and approved by the electors
of the municipality in accordance with subsection (f).
Before
acquiring, constructing, or commencing operation of a community antenna
television system, the municipality shall comply with the following:
(1) Give written notice to the owner or operator of | | any other community antenna television system franchised to serve all or any portion of the territorial area to be served by the municipality's community antenna television system, specifying the date, time, and place at which the municipality shall conduct public hearings to consider and determine whether the municipality should acquire, construct, or commence operation of a community antenna television system. The public hearings shall be conducted at least 14 days after this notice is given.
|
|
(2) Publish a notice of the hearing in 2 or more
| | newspapers published in the county, city, village, incorporated town, or town, as the case may be. If there is no such newspaper, then notice shall be published in any 2 or more newspapers published in the county and having a general circulation throughout the community. The public hearings shall be conducted at least 14 days after this notice is given.
|
|
(3) Conduct a public hearing to determine the means
| | by which construction, maintenance, and operation of the system will be financed, including whether the use of tax revenues or other fees will be required.
|
|
(b) The words "community antenna television system" shall mean any facility
which is constructed in whole or in part in, on, under or over any highway
or other public place and which is operated to perform for hire the service
of receiving and amplifying the signals broadcast by one or more television
stations and redistributing such signals by wire, cable or other means to
members of the public who subscribe to such service; except that such
definition shall not include (i) any system which serves fewer than fifty
subscribers, or (ii) any system which serves only the residents of one or
more apartment dwellings under common ownership, control or management, and
commercial establishments located on the premises of such dwellings.
(c) The authority hereby granted does not include authority to license,
franchise or tax telephone companies subject to jurisdiction of the
Illinois Commerce Commission or the Federal Communications Commission in
connection with the furnishing of circuits, wires, cables, and other
facilities to the operator of a community antenna television system.
(c-1) Each franchise entered into by a municipality and a community antenna television system shall include the customer service and privacy standards and protections contained in Article XXII of the Public Utilities Act. A franchise may not contain different penalties or consumer service and privacy standards and protections. Each franchise entered into by a municipality and a community antenna television system before June 30, 2007 (the effective date of Public Act 95-9)
shall be amended by this Section to incorporate the penalty provisions and customer service and privacy standards and protections contained in Article XXII of the Public Utilities Act.
The corporate authorities of each municipality may, in the course of
franchising such community antenna television system, grant to such franchisee
the authority and the right and permission to use all public streets, rights
of way, alleys, ways for public service facilities, parks, playgrounds,
school grounds, or other public grounds, in which such municipality may
have an interest, for the construction, installation, operation, maintenance,
alteration, addition, extension or improvement of a community antenna
television system.
Any charge imposed by a community antenna television system franchised
pursuant to this Section for the raising or removal of cables or lines to
permit passage on, to or from a street shall not exceed the reasonable
costs of work reasonably necessary to safely permit such passage. Pursuant
to subsections (h) and (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Constitution
of the State of Illinois, the General Assembly declares the regulation of
charges which may be imposed by community antenna television systems for
the raising or removal of cables or lines to permit passage on, to or from
streets is a power or function to be exercised exclusively by the State and
not to be exercised or performed concurrently with the State by any unit of
local government, including any home rule unit.
The municipality may, upon written request by the franchisee of a community
antenna television system, exercise its right of eminent domain
solely for the purpose of granting an easement right no greater than 8 feet
in width, extending no greater than 8 feet from any lot line for the purpose
of extending cable across any parcel of property in the manner provided
by the law of eminent domain, provided, however, such franchisee deposits
with the municipality sufficient security to pay all costs incurred by the
municipality in the exercise of its right of eminent domain.
(d) The General Assembly finds and declares that satellite-transmitted
television programming should be available to those who desire to subscribe
to such programming and that decoding devices should be obtainable at
reasonable prices by those who are unable to obtain satellite-transmitted
television programming through duly franchised community antenna television
systems.
In any instance in which a person is unable to obtain
satellite-transmitted television programming through a duly franchised
community antenna television system either because the municipality and
county in which such person resides has not granted a franchise to operate
and maintain a community antenna television system, or because the duly
franchised community antenna television system operator does not make cable
television services available to such person, any programming company that
delivers satellite-transmitted television programming in scrambled or
encrypted form shall ensure that devices for description of such programming
are made available to such person, through the local community antenna
television operator or directly, for purchase or lease at prices reasonably
related to the cost of manufacture and distribution of such devices.
(e) The General Assembly finds and declares that, in order to ensure that
community antenna television services are provided in an orderly,
competitive and economically sound manner, the best interests of the public
will be served by the establishment of certain minimum standards and
procedures for the granting of additional cable television franchises.
Subject to the provisions of this subsection, the authority
granted under subsection (a) hereof shall include the authority to license,
franchise and tax more than one cable operator to provide community antenna
television services within the corporate limits of a single franchising
authority. For purposes of this subsection (e), the term:
(i) "Existing cable television franchise" means a
| | community antenna television franchise granted by a municipality which is in use at the time such municipality receives an application or request by another cable operator for a franchise to provide cable antenna television services within all or any portion of the territorial area which is or may be served under the existing cable television franchise.
|
|
(ii) "Additional cable television franchise" means a
| | franchise pursuant to which community antenna television services may be provided within the territorial areas, or any portion thereof, which may be served under an existing cable television franchise.
|
|
(iii) "Franchising Authority" is defined as that term
| | is defined under Section 602(9) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549, but does not include any municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more.
|
|
(iv) "Cable operator" is defined as that term is
| | defined under Section 602(4) of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, Public Law 98-549.
|
|
Before granting an additional cable television franchise, the franchising
authority shall:
(1) Give written notice to the owner or operator of
| | any other community antenna television system franchised to serve all or any portion of the territorial area to be served by such additional cable television franchise, identifying the applicant for such additional franchise and specifying the date, time and place at which the franchising authority shall conduct public hearings to consider and determine whether such additional cable television franchise should be granted.
|
|
(2) Conduct a public hearing to determine the public
| | need for such additional cable television franchise, the capacity of public rights-of-way to accommodate such additional community antenna television services, the potential disruption to existing users of public rights-of-way to be used by such additional franchise applicant to complete construction and to provide cable television services within the proposed franchise area, the long term economic impact of such additional cable television system within the community, and such other factors as the franchising authority shall deem appropriate.
|
|
(3) Determine, based upon the foregoing factors,
| | whether it is in the best interest of the municipality to grant such additional cable television franchise.
|
|
(4) If the franchising authority shall determine that
| | it is in the best interest of the municipality to do so, it may grant the additional cable television franchise. Except as provided in paragraph (5) of this subsection (e), no such additional cable television franchise shall be granted under terms or conditions more favorable or less burdensome to the applicant than those required under the existing cable television franchise, including but not limited to terms and conditions pertaining to the territorial extent of the franchise, system design, technical performance standards, construction schedules, performance bonds, standards for construction and installation of cable television facilities, service to subscribers, public educational and governmental access channels and programming, production assistance, liability and indemnification, and franchise fees.
|
|
(5) Unless the existing cable television franchise
| | provides that any additional cable television franchise shall be subject to the same terms or substantially equivalent terms and conditions as those of the existing cable television franchise, the franchising authority may grant an additional cable television franchise under different terms and conditions than those of the existing franchise, in which event the franchising authority shall enter into good faith negotiations with the existing franchisee and shall, within 120 days after the effective date of the additional cable television franchise, modify the existing cable television franchise in a manner and to the extent necessary to ensure that neither the existing cable television franchise nor the additional cable television franchise, each considered in its entirety, provides a competitive advantage over the other, provided that prior to modifying the existing cable television franchise, the franchising authority shall have conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed modification. No modification in the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall oblige the existing cable television franchisee (1) to make any additional payment to the franchising authority, including the payment of any additional franchise fee, (2) to engage in any additional construction of the existing cable television system or, (3) to modify the specifications or design of the existing cable television system; and the inclusion of the factors identified in items (2) and (3) shall not be considered in determining whether either franchise considered in its entirety, has a competitive advantage over the other except to the extent that the additional franchisee provides additional video or data services or the equipment or facilities necessary to generate and or carry such service. No modification in the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall be made if the existing cable television franchisee elects to continue to operate under all terms and conditions of the existing franchise.
|
|
If within the 120 day period the franchising
| | authority and the existing cable television franchisee are unable to reach agreement on modifications to the existing cable television franchise, then the franchising authority shall modify the existing cable television franchise, effective 45 days thereafter, in a manner, and only to the extent, that the terms and conditions of the existing cable television franchise shall no longer impose any duty or obligation on the existing franchisee which is not also imposed under the additional cable television franchise; however, if by the modification the existing cable television franchisee is relieved of duties or obligations not imposed under the additional cable television franchise, then within the same 45 days and following a public hearing concerning modification of the additional cable television franchise within that 45 day period, the franchising authority shall modify the additional cable television franchise to the extent necessary to insure that neither the existing cable television franchise nor the additional cable television franchise, each considered in its entirety, shall have a competitive advantage over the other.
|
|
No municipality shall be subject to suit for damages based upon the
municipality's determination to grant or its refusal to grant an additional
cable television franchise, provided that a
public hearing as herein provided has been held and the franchising
authority has determined that it is in the best interest of the
municipality to grant or refuse to grant such additional franchise, as
the
case may be.
It is declared to be the law of this State, pursuant to paragraphs (h)
and (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution, that the
establishment of minimum standards and procedures for the granting of
additional cable television franchises by municipalities with a population
less than 1,000,000 as provided in this subsection (e) is an exclusive
State power and function that may not be exercised concurrently by a home
rule unit.
(f) No municipality may acquire, construct, own, or operate a community
antenna
television system
unless the corporate authorities adopt
an
ordinance. The ordinance must set forth the action proposed; describe the
plant,
equipment, and property to be acquired or constructed; and specifically
describe the
manner in which the construction, acquisition, and operation of the system
will
be financed.
The ordinance may not take effect until the question of acquiring,
construction,
owning, or operating a community antenna television system
has been
submitted to the electors of the municipality at a regular election and
approved by a
majority of the electors voting on the question. The corporate authorities
must certify the
question to the proper election authority, which must submit the question at an
election in
accordance with the Election Code.
The question must be submitted in substantially the following form:
Shall the ordinance authorizing the municipality to
| | (insert action authorized by ordinance) take effect?
|
|
The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
If a majority of electors voting on the question vote in the affirmative, the
ordinance shall take effect.
Not more than 30 or less than 15 days before the date of the referendum, the
municipal clerk must publish the ordinance at least once in one or more
newspapers
published in the municipality or, if no newspaper is published in the
municipality, in one
or more newspapers of general circulation within the municipality.

report
of
the
audit
findings
to
the
CATV
operator

for the audit period. Further, the municipality may not thereafter commence or conduct any such audit for the same audit period or for any part of that same audit period.
(d) If an audit by the municipality or its agents finds an error by the CATV operator in the amount of the franchise fees or service provider fees paid by the CATV operator to the municipality, then the municipality shall notify the CATV operator of the error. Any such notice must be given to the CATV operator by the municipality or its agent within 90 days after the municipality or its agent discovers the error, and no later than 4 years after the date the franchise fee or service provider fee was due. Upon such a notice, the CATV operator must submit a written response within 60 days after receipt of the notice stating that the CATV operator has corrected the error on a prospective basis or stating the reason that the error is inapplicable or inaccurate. The municipality or its agent then has 60 days after the receipt of the CATV operator's response to review and contest the conclusion of the CATV operator. No legal proceeding to collect a deficiency or overpayment based upon an alleged error shall be commenced unless within 180 days after the municipality's notification of the error to the CATV operator the parties are unable to agree on the disposition of the audit findings.

(g) For the purposes of this Section, "CATV operator" means a person or entity that provides cable and video services under a franchise agreement with a municipality pursuant to Section 11-42-11 of the Municipal Code and a holder authorized under Section 21-401 of the Cable and Video Competition Law of 2007 as consistent with Section 21-901 of that Law.
(h) This Section does not apply to any action that was commenced, to any complaint that was filed, or to any audit that was commenced before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. This Section also does not apply to any franchise agreement that was entered into before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly.
(h-5) The audit procedures set forth in this Section shall be the exclusive audit procedures for: (i) any franchise agreement entered into, amended, or renewed on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly; and (ii) any franchise fee or service provider fee audit of a CATV operator commenced on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
(i) The provisions of this Section shall not be construed as diminishing or replacing any civil remedy available to a municipality, taxpayer, or tax collector.
(j) If a contingent fee is paid to an auditor, then the payment must be based upon the net difference of the complete audit.
(k) A municipality shall provide to each CATV operator an updated complete list of addresses within the corporate limits of the municipality annually. In addition, the municipality shall provide a CATV operator the updated address list within 90 days after the date of a written request by the CATV operator.
As a prerequisite to performing an audit of a CATV operator's franchise fees or service provider fees derived from the provision of cable and video services to subscribers within the franchise area, a municipality shall provide to a CATV operator the complete list of addresses within the corporate limits of the municipality for each calendar year subject to the audit. If an address is not included in the list or if no list is provided, the CATV operator shall be held harmless for any franchise fee underpayments, including penalty and interest, from situsing errors if it used a reasonable methodology to assign the address or addresses to a municipality.
An address list provided by a municipality to a CATV operator shall be maintained as confidential by the CATV operator and shall only be used by the CATV operator for the purposes of determining the situs of any franchise fee or service provider fee. Any situs issues identified by a CATV provider as a result of the provision of an address list by a municipality to the CATV operator shall first be confirmed in writing to the municipality by the CATV operator prior to the CATV operator making any situs change that may result in a change of allocation of a franchise fee or service provider fee to the municipality.
(l) This Section is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
(m) This Section does not apply to any municipality having a population of more than 1,000,000.

65 ILCS 5/11-42-11.1
(65 ILCS 5/11-42-11.1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-42-11.1)
Sec. 11-42-11.1.
(a) In any instance in which a municipality has (i)
granted a franchise to any community antenna television company or (ii)
decided for the municipality itself to construct, operate or maintain a
cable television system within a designated area, no property owner,
condominium association, managing agent, lessee or other person in
possession or control of any residential building located within the
designated area shall forbid or prevent any occupant, tenant or lessee of
any such building from receiving cable television service from such
franchisee or municipality, nor demand or accept payment from any such
occupant, tenant or lessee in any form as a condition of permitting the
installation of cable television facilities or the maintenance of cable
television service in any such building or any portion thereof occupied or
leased by such occupant, tenant or lessee, nor shall any such property
owner, condominium association, managing agent, lessee or other person
discriminate in rental charges or otherwise against any occupant, tenant or
lessee receiving cable service; provided, however, that the owner of such
building may require, in exchange and as compensation for permitting the
installation of cable television facilities within and upon such building,
the payment of just compensation by the cable television franchisee which
provides such cable television service, said sum to be determined in
accordance with the provisions of subparagraphs (c) and (d) hereof, and
provided further that the cable television franchisee installing such cable
television facilities shall agree to indemnify the owner of such building
for any damage caused by the installation, operation or removal of such
cable television facilities and service.
No community antenna television company shall install cable television
facilities within a residential building pursuant to this subparagraph (a)
unless an occupant, tenant or lessee of such residential building requests
the delivery of cable television services.
In any instance in which a request for service is made by more than 3
occupants, tenants or lessees of a residential building, the community
antenna television company may install cable television facilities
throughout the building in a manner which enables the community antenna
television company to provide cable television services to occupants,
tenants or lessees of other residential units without requiring the
installation of additional cable television facilities other than within
the residential units occupied by such other occupants, tenants or lessees.
(b) In any instance in which a municipality has (i) granted a franchise
to any community antenna television company or (ii) decided for the
municipality itself to construct, operate or maintain a cable television
system within a designated area, no property owner, condominium
association, managing agent, lessee or other person in possession and
control of any improved or unimproved real estate located within such
designated area shall forbid or prevent such cable television franchisee or
municipality from entering upon such real estate for the purpose of and in
connection with the construction or installation of such cable television
system and cable television facilities, nor shall any such property owner,
condominium association, managing agent, lessee or other person in
possession or control of such real estate forbid or prevent such cable
television franchisee or municipality from constructing or installing upon,
beneath or over such real estate, including any buildings or other
structures located thereon, hardware, cable, equipment, materials or other
cable television facilities utilized by such cable franchisee
or municipality in the construction and installation of such cable
television system; provided, however, that the owner of any such real
estate may require, in exchange and as compensation for permitting the
construction or installation of cable television facilities upon, beneath
or over such real estate, the payment of just compensation by the cable
television franchisee which provides such cable television service, said
sum to be determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraphs (c)
and (d) hereof, and provided further that the cable television franchisee
constructing or installing such cable television facilities shall agree to
indemnify the owner of such real estate for any damage caused by the
installation, operation or removal of such cable television facilities
and service.
(c) In any instance in which the owner of a residential building or the
owner of improved or unimproved real estate intends to require the payment of
just compensation in excess of $1 in exchange for permitting the installation
of cable television facilities in and upon such building, or upon, beneath
or over such real estate, the owner shall serve written notice thereof upon
the cable television franchisee. Any such notice shall be served within
20 days of the date on which such owner is notified of the cable television
franchisee's intention to construct or install cable television facilities
in and upon such building, or upon, beneath or over such real estate. Unless
timely notice as herein provided is given by the owner to the cable television
franchisee, it will be conclusively presumed that the owner of any such
building or real estate does not claim or intend to require a payment of more
than $1 in exchange and as just compensation for permitting the installation
of cable television facilities within and upon such building, or upon, beneath
or over such real estate. In any instance in which a cable television
franchisee intends to install cable television facilities as herein
provided, written notice of such intention shall be sent by the cable
television franchisee to the property owner or to such person, association
or managing agent as shall have been appointed or otherwise designated to
manage or operate the property. Such notice shall include the address of
the property, the name of the cable television franchisee, and information
as to the time within which the owner may give notice, demand payment as
just compensation and initiate legal proceedings as provided in this
subparagraph (c) and subparagraph (d). In any instance in which a community
antenna television company intends to install cable television facilities
within a residential building containing 12 or more residential units
or upon, beneath, or over real estate that is used as a site for 12 or more
manufactured housing units,
12 or more mobile homes,
or a combination of 12 or more
manufactured housing units and mobile homes, the
written notice shall further provide that the property owner may require
that the community antenna television company submit to the owner written
plans identifying the manner in which cable television facilities are to be
installed, including the proposed location of coaxial cable. Approval of
such plans by the property owner shall not be unreasonably withheld and
such owners' consent to and approval of such plans shall be presumed
unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof, or in the case of a
condominium association, 90 days after receipt thereof, the property owner
identifies in writing the specific manner in which such plans deviate from
generally accepted construction or safety standards, and unless the
property owner contemporaneously submits an alternative construction plan
providing for the installation of cable television facilities in an
economically feasible manner. The community antenna television company may
proceed with the plans originally submitted if an alternative plan is not
submitted by the property owner within 30 days, or in the case of a
condominium association, 90 days, or if an alternative plan submitted by
the property owner fails to comply with generally accepted construction and
safety standards or does not provide for the installation of cable
television facilities in an economically feasible manner.
For purposes of this subsection, "mobile home" and "manufactured housing
unit" have
the same meaning as in the Illinois Manufactured Housing and Mobile Home Safety
Act.
(d) Any owner of a residential building described in subparagraph (a),
and any owner of improved or unimproved real estate described in subparagraph
(b), who shall have given timely written notice to the cable television
franchisee as provided in subparagraph (c), may assert a claim for just
compensation in excess of $1 for permitting the installation of cable
television facilities within and upon such building, or upon, beneath or
over such real estate. Within 30 days after notice has been given in
accordance with subparagraph (c), the owner shall advise the cable
television franchisee in writing of the amount claimed as just
compensation. If within 60 days after the receipt of the owner's claim,
the cable television franchisee has not agreed to pay the amount claimed or
some other amount acceptable to the owner, the owner may bring suit to
enforce such claim for just compensation in any court of competent
jurisdiction and, upon timely demand, may require that the amount of just
compensation be determined by a jury. Any such action shall be commenced
within 6 months of the notice given by the cable television franchisee
pursuant to subparagraph (c) hereof. In any action brought to determine
such amount, the owner may submit evidence of a decrease in the fair market
value of the property occasioned by the installation or location of the
cable on the property, that the owner has a specific alternative use for
the space occupied by cable television facilities, the loss of which will
result in a monetary loss to the owner, or that installation of cable
television facilities within and upon such building or upon, beneath or
over such real estate otherwise substantially interferes with the use and
occupancy of such building to an extent which causes a decrease in the fair
market value of such building or real estate.
(e) Neither the giving of a notice by the owner under subparagraph
(c), nor the assertion of a specific claim, nor the initiation of legal
action to enforce such claim, as provided under subparagraph (d), shall
delay or impair the right of the cable television franchisee to construct
or install cable television facilities and maintain cable television
services within or upon any building described in subparagraph (a) or upon,
beneath or over real estate described in subparagraph (b).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no community antenna television
company or municipality shall enter upon any real estate or rights of way
in the possession or control of any public utility, railroad or owner or
operator of an oil, petroleum product, chemical or gas pipeline to install
or remove cable television facilities or to provide underground maintenance
or repair services with respect thereto, prior to delivery to the public
utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator of written notice of intent
to enter, install, maintain, or remove. For the purposes of this subsection (f), and only in the case of real estate or rights-of-way in possession of or in control of a railroad, the right to enter upon includes the installation, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, or removal of wire, cable, fiber, conduit, or related facilities that are at, above, or below grade and that cross the real estate or rights-of-way in a manner that runs generally perpendicular to the railroad tracks or railroad right-of-way. For the purposes of this subsection (f), and only in the case of real estate or rights-of-way in possession of or in the control of a railroad, the right to enter upon does not apply to wire, cable, fiber, conduit, or related facilities that run along, within, and generally parallel to, but do not cross, the railroad tracks or railroad right-of-way. No entry shall be made until at
least 30 days after receipt of such written notice. Such written
notice, which shall be delivered to the registered agent of such public
utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator shall include the following
information:
(i) The date of the proposed installation, | | maintenance, repair, or removal and projected length of time required to complete such installation, maintenance, repair or removal;
|
|
(ii) The manner and method of, and the detailed
| | design and construction plans that conform to the applicable published and publicly available American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association standards and the published and publicly available standards for the appropriate railroad for, such installation, maintenance, repair, or removal;
|
|
(iii) The location of the proposed entry and path of
| | cable television facilities proposed to be placed, repaired, maintained or removed upon the real estate or right of way;
|
|
(iv) The written agreement of the community antenna
| | television company to indemnify and hold harmless such public utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator from the costs of any damages directly or indirectly caused by the installation, maintenance, repair, operation, or removal of cable television facilities. Upon request of the public utility, railroad, or owner or operator of an oil, petroleum product, chemical or gas pipeline, the community antenna television company shall provide proof that it has purchased and will maintain a policy or policies of insurance in amounts sufficient to provide coverage for personal injury and property damage losses caused by or resulting from the installation, maintenance, repair, or removal of cable television facilities. The written agreement shall provide that the community antenna television company shall maintain such policies of insurance in full force and effect as long as cable television facilities remain on the real estate or right of way; and
|
| (v) A statement, based upon information available to
| | the community antenna television company, confirming that the proposed installation, maintenance, repair, or removal does not create a dangerous condition or threaten public or employee safety and will not adversely impact railroad operations or disrupt vital transportation services.
|
| For purposes of this subsection (f), and only in the case of real estate or rights-of-way in possession of or in control of a railroad, "community antenna television company" includes a holder, cable operator, or broadband service provider, as those terms are defined in Section 21-201 of the Public Utilities Act.
Within 30 days of receipt of the written prior notice of entry
the public utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator shall investigate
and determine whether or not the proposed entry and installation or repair,
maintenance, or removal would create a dangerous condition threatening the
safety of the public or the safety of its employees or threatening to cause
an interruption of the furnishing of vital transportation, utility or pipeline
services and upon so finding shall so notify the community antenna television
company or municipality of such decision in writing. Initial determination
of the existence of such a dangerous condition or interruption of services
shall be made by the public utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator
whose real estate or right of way is involved. In the event that the
community antenna television company or municipality disagrees with such
determination, a determination of whether such entry and installation,
maintenance, repair, or removal would create such a dangerous condition or
interrupt services shall, upon application of the community antenna television company, be made by the Illinois Commerce Commission Transportation Division in accordance with the Commission's Rail Safety Program. An initial written determination of a public utility,
railroad, or pipeline owner or operator timely made and transmitted to the
community antenna television company or municipality, in the absence of a
determination by the Illinois Commerce Commission Transportation Division, in accordance with the Commission's Rail Safety Program, or a court of competent jurisdiction finding to the contrary,
bars the entry of the community antenna television company or municipality
upon the real estate or right of way for any purpose.
Any public utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator may assert
a written claim against any community antenna television company for just
compensation within 30 days after written notice has been given in accordance
with this subparagraph (f). If, within 60 days after the receipt of such
claim for compensation, the community antenna television company has not
agreed to the amount claimed or some other amount acceptable to the public
utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator, the public utility, railroad
or pipeline owner or operator may bring suit to enforce such claim for just
compensation in any court of competent jurisdiction and, upon timely demand,
may require that the amount of just compensation be determined by a jury.
Any such action shall be commenced within 6 months of the notice provided
for in this subparagraph (f). In any action brought to determine such just
compensation, the public utility, railroad or pipeline owner or operator
may submit such evidence as may be relevant to the issue of just compensation.
Neither the assertion of a claim for compensation nor the initiation of
legal action to enforce such claim shall delay or impair the right of the
community antenna television company to construct or install cable television
facilities upon any real estate or rights of way of any public utility,
railroad or pipeline owner or operator.
To the extent that the public utility, railroad, or owner or operator
of an oil, petroleum product, chemical or gas pipeline deems it appropriate
to supervise, monitor or otherwise assist the community antenna television
company in connection with the installation, maintenance, repair or removal
of cable television facilities upon such real estate or rights of way, the
community antenna television company shall reimburse the public utility,
railroad or owner or operator of an oil, petroleum product, chemical or gas
pipeline for costs reasonable and actually incurred in connection therewith.
The provisions of this subparagraph (f) shall not be applicable to any
easements, rights of way or ways for public service facilities in which
public utilities, other than railroads, have any interest pursuant to "An
Act to revise the law in relation to plats", approved March 21, 1874,
as amended, and all ordinances enacted pursuant thereto. Such easements,
rights of way and ways for public service facilities are hereby declared to
be apportionable and upon written request by a community antenna television
company, public utilities shall make such easements, rights of way and ways
for public service facilities available for the construction, maintenance,
repair or removal of cable television facilities provided that such
construction, maintenance, repair or removal does not create a dangerous
condition threatening the safety of the public or the safety of such public
utility employees or threatening to cause an interruption of the furnishing
of vital utility service. Initial determination of the existence of such a
dangerous condition or interruption of services shall be made by the public
utility whose easement, right of way or way for public service facility is
involved. In the event the community antenna television company or
municipality disagrees with such determination, a determination of whether
such construction, maintenance, repair or removal would create such a
dangerous condition or threaten to interrupt vital utility services, shall
be made by a court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of such
community antenna television company.
If a municipality notifies or a municipality requires a developer to
notify
a public
utility before or after issuing a permit or other authorization for the
construction of
residential buildings, then the municipality or developer shall, at the same
time, similarly
notify any community antenna television system franchised by or within that
municipality.
In addition to such other notices as may be required by this subparagraph
(f), a community antenna television company or municipality shall not
enter upon the real estate or rights of way of any public utility, railroad
or pipeline owner or operator for the purposes of above-ground maintenance
or repair of its television cable facilities without giving 96 hours prior
written notice to the registered agent of the public utility, railroad or
pipeline owner or operator involved, or in the case of a public utility,
notice may be given through the statewide one-call notice system provided
for by General Order of the Illinois Commerce Commission or, if in Chicago,
through the system known as the Chicago Utility Alert Network.

Sec. 11-42.1-1.
(a) Except as provided otherwise in this Section, a
municipality may not enter into a contract or agreement with an individual
or other entity that is delinquent in the payment of any tax administered
by the Department of Revenue unless the individual or other entity is
contesting, in accordance with the procedures established by the
appropriate revenue Act, its liability for the tax or the amount of tax.
Before awarding a contract, the municipality shall obtain a statement under
oath from the individual or entity that no such taxes are delinquent.
Making a false statement is a Class A misdemeanor. In addition, making a
false statement voids the contract and allows the municipality to recover
all amounts paid to the individual or entity under the contract in a civil
action. A municipality may not regulate contracts with individuals or
entities that are delinquent in payment of such taxes in a manner
inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a
limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule municipalities of
powers and functions exercised by the State.
(b) For purposes of this Section, a person or other entity shall not be
considered delinquent in the payment of a tax if the person or entity
(1) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Revenue for the
payment of all such taxes that are due and (2) is in compliance with the
agreement. In that case, the sworn statement required by subsection (a)
shall state those facts.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a municipality may
enter into a contract with an individual or other entity that is delinquent
in the payment of a tax if the contracting authority for the municipality determines that:
(1) the contract is for goods or services vital to | | the public health, safety, or welfare; and
|
|
(2) the municipality is unable to acquire the goods
| | or services at a comparable price and of comparable quality from other sources.

vested in the county department of public aid of the county in which such
municipality is located, as provided in "The Illinois Public Aid Code". Any

also be used for the payment of warrants issued against and in anticipation
of such taxes and accrued interest thereon and for the payment of the cost
of administering such assistance.

shall be used exclusively for the furnishing of general assistance
within the municipality; for the payment of administrative costs
thereof; and for the payment of warrants issued against and in
anticipation of the general assistance taxes, and accrued interest
thereon. Until January 1, 1974, the treasurer of the municipality, shall
pay all moneys received from general assistance taxes and all the moneys
collected or recovered by or in behalf of the municipality under The
Illinois Public Aid Code into the special fund in the county treasury
established pursuant to Section 12-21.14 of that Code. After December

Whenever the commissioners appointed and acting under the
provisions of this Division 45 determine to erect a band-shell or similar
structure for the presentation of concerts or programs in the performing
arts as may be presented by them, or to purchase a site for same, or to
repair, remodel or improve an existing structure, or to build an addition
thereto, or to furnish necessary equipment therefor, or to do any or all of
these things, or to purchase a building and site, and necessary equipment
for the building, or to provide or accumulate a fund for the erection of a
new building or structure, the purchase of such building of an addition
thereto, or to pay for a site for the building or structure, or to purchase
necessary equipment for such, or to do any or all of these things, the
commissioners have the following power:
In case a new band-shell or a structure for the performing arts is to be
erected, or an existing structure is to be remodeled, repaired, improved,
or an addition thereto erected, or the grounds adjacent thereto are to be
prepared for seating, lighting, sound and general improvements or necessary
equipment therefor purchased, or any or all of such things are to be done,
the commissioners shall cause a plan for such band-shell or structure, or
for the remodeling, repairing or improving of such band-shell or structure,
and the grounds adjacent thereto, or the purchase of necessary equipment
therefor to be prepared, and an estimate made of the cost. If a site is to
be provided for the same, they shall also cause an estimate to be made of
the cost of such site. If necessary equipment is to be provided, the
commissioners shall cause an estimate to be made of the cost of such
equipment. They may then determine the term of years over which they shall
spread the collection of the cost of such band-shell or structure, or the
remodeling, repairing or improving of an existing structure, or the
erection of an addition thereto, or site, or equipment or any or all of
these things, not exceeding 20 years, and shall make a record of their
proceedings. The commissioners shall transmit a copy of the record of their
proceedings to the city council for its approval. If the city council
approves the action of the band commission or the band and performing arts
commission or the recreation board if designated, it may, by ordinance,
provide that the bonds of the city be issued for the payment of the cost,
so estimated as aforesaid, of the structure, or other repairs or equipment
herein referred to, in which event the ordinance shall also state the time
or times when such bonds, and the interest thereon shall become payable.
The whole of the principal of such bonds and the interest thereon, shall be
payable within 20 years and interest on such bonds shall not exceed the
maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract. Such interest may be made payable at such
times as the ordinance may prescribe. However, the total tax which may be
levied hereunder for municipal band and/or performing arts purposes, including
the retirement of the bonds herein, shall not exceed the total which may be
authorized by the referendum providing for the levy of a tax as set out in
Section 11-45-2. If the city council adopts such an ordinance, the band
commission or the band and performing arts commission or the recreation
board if designated, shall set aside from the fund each year, a sum
sufficient to pay the principal and interest on such bonds. In addition,
however, any surplus remaining in the fund at the end of any year after
paying the principal and interest on such bonds, and after paying other
expenses for maintaining and employing a municipal band and/or for the
maintenance and conduct of programs in the performing arts, may be applied
to the retirement of such bonds. If, however, the city council shall not
provide that bonds of the city be issued as and for the purposes aforesaid,
but shall otherwise approve the action of the commission, then the
commission shall divide the total cost of the building, improvements or
equipment as they shall determine, to spread the collection thereof, and
shall certify the amount to the city council each year during the term over
which the commissioners shall have determined to spread the collection of
the cost of such building, improvements or equipment, or any or all of
these things.
The commission may receive any gifts tendered to be applied on the cost
of such building, improvements or equipment.
The city council on receiving the last mentioned certificate shall, in
its next annual appropriation ordinance, include the amount so certified
and shall, for the amount levy and collect a tax to pay the same. The total
amount thus levied, including costs of such building, remodeling or
equipment, shall not exceed the total which may be authorized by the
referendum provided for in Section 11-45-2. However, any surplus remaining
in the fund at the end of any year after setting aside funds for such
purposes and after paying other expenses for maintaining and employing a
municipal band and/or for the maintenance and conduct of programs in the
performing arts, may be applied to the fund being accumulated for such
building, improvements or equipment.
Such commissioners shall have authority to enter into contracts to carry
out the purposes of this Division 45 and to take title to any property
acquired by it for municipal band purposes and/or for the maintenance and
conduct of programs in the performing arts by the name of "The Municipal
Band Commission of the City/Village of ...., Illinois" or "The Municipal
Band and Performing Arts Commission of the City/Village of ...., Illinois"
or if designated according to Section 45-7, "The Recreation Board of the
City/Village of ...., Illinois".
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General Assembly
(i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary
grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the Omnibus Bond
Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of
this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary authority granted by
the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under this Section
within the supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not
invalid because of any provision of this Act that may appear to be or to
