605 ILCS 5/ Illinois Highway 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. 6-701.6.

With the approval of the Department of Transportation, the payment of
the principal and interest on bonds issued for construction or improvement
of township or district roads or grade separations located within the road
district. If the road district desires to use motor fuel tax funds for this

(605 ILCS 5/6-701.8) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-701.8)

Sec. 6-701.8.

The formula allocation for township and road districts for the
distribution of motor fuel tax funds, provided for in Section 8 in the
"Motor Fuel Tax Law", may be used by the highway commissioner, subject
to the conditions set out in Sections 6-301, 6-701.1 and 6-701.2 as
respects the methods, equipment and materials appropriate for such
maintenance or improvement, and, in township counties, with the approval
of the board of town trustees, for the maintenance or improvement of
nondedicated subdivision roads established prior to July 23, 1959. Any
such road improved becomes, by operation of law, a part of the township
and district road system providing such road meets standards as
established by the county. In township counties, the board of town
trustees shall condition its approval, as required by this Section, upon
proportional matching contributions, whether in cash, kind, services or
otherwise, by property owners in the subdivision where such a road is
situated. No more than the amount of the increase in allocation attributable
to this amendatory Act of 1979 and any subsequent amendatory Act plus
50% of such funds otherwise allocated under the formula as
provided in Section 8 in the "Motor Fuel Tax Law" and subsequently
approved as provided in this Section, may be expended on eligible
nondedicated subdivision roads. Funds may also be derived from other road district sources, not to exceed the amount that would be allocated under the motor fuel tax fund formula.

Payment of money to each county by the Department of Transportation
for the purposes stated in Sections 6-701.1 through 6-701.8, shall be made
as soon as possible after the allotment is made.  Such money shall be utilized
by the county in accordance with the needs of the county in a manner satisfactory
to the Department.

However, if any county, after having been given reasonable notice by the
Department, fails to expend motor fuel tax funds in a manner satisfactory
to the Department, no further payment of motor fuel tax funds shall be made
to such county for construction or maintenance purposes until it corrects
its unsatisfactory use of motor fuel tax funds.
