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. 7-202.22.

If the formula for the distribution of motor fuel tax
funds, provided for in Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved
March 25, 1929, as amended, is changed from that in effect on January 1, 1974, so that the

any such increase received by a municipality having 500,000 or more
inhabitants shall be expended only for the construction, reconstruction, or

605 ILCS 5/7-203

(605 ILCS 5/7-203) (from Ch. 121, par. 7-203)

Sec. 7-203.

The corporate authorities of the municipality shall from time
to time pass ordinances or resolutions stating specifically the purpose or
purposes for which motor fuel tax funds shall be used and such ordinances
or resolutions shall be subject to the approval of the Department.

In case motor fuel tax funds are to be used for construction, the
ordinance or resolution shall specify the location, type or types, length
and width of the proposed construction and the portion of the construction
for which these funds are to be used, which portion, subject to the
approval of the Department, may be part or all as the municipality may
elect. Such construction shall be either with or without continuous grade
separation, and of such type and not to exceed such width as is required,
in the judgment of the municipality and the Department, to care for traffic
and parking needs. When the ordinance or resolution has been approved by
the Department, the municipality may cause surveys, plans, specifications
and estimates of such construction to be made and submitted to the
Department for approval.

Whenever the corporate authorities or a municipality determine that any
construction consisting of paving, repaving, altering, opening, widening or
otherwise improving any such streets or State highways shall be performed
and that a portion of the cost thereof shall be raised by the assessment of
property specially benefited, the construction shall be performed pursuant
to Division 2 of Article 9 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as now or
hereafter amended; provided that, as between 2 State highway projects or
between 2 municipal street projects or between any other 2 projects of the
same designation, so far as practicable, priority in the allocation of
motor fuel tax funds received from the State shall be given the project for
which a portion of the cost is to be raised by assessment of property
specially benefited.

The municipality may advertise for bids and let contracts for all
construction to the lowest responsible bidder; or, with the approval of the
Department, may do the work itself through its officers, agents and
employees. No contract shall be let without the approval of the Department,
nor shall bids be advertised for until the surveys, plans, specifications
and estimates have been approved by the Department. All work shall be
performed in accordance with the approved ordinances or resolutions, plans,
specifications, and contracts, as the case may be, and the Department shall
inspect the work to such degree as may be necessary to insure compliance
with this provision.
