5 Section 15-10 as follows:
6 (60 ILCS 1/15-10)
7 Sec. 15-10. Disconnection of territory from township;
8 annexation to adjacent township. Until the effective date of
9 this amendatory Act of 1997, whenever a township is organized
10 under this Article and any of the territory of the city not
11 more than one-half square mile in extent and containing not
12 more than 50 inhabitants is disconnected from the city, the
13 county board may, by resolution, upon receiving a certified
14 copy of the resolution or ordinance of the city disconnecting

1 be disconnected from the otherwise coterminous township and
2 connected to the adjacent township, and the transfer of the
3 territory shall not affect the city's status as a city with a
4 coterminous township. If disconnection is pursuant to court
5 order, the petitioning party in the cause shall, within 30
6 days of the entry of an order permitting disconnection, serve
7 a copy of the order upon the coterminous township, the
8 adjacent township, and the county clerk by certified mail,
9 return receipt requested, and shall file proof of the service
10 with the circuit clerk. Upon objection by either the
11 coterminous township or the adjacent township within 180 days
12 after the enactment of the ordinance or after service of the
13 court order, the county board may, after receiving a
14 certified copy of the court order or ordinance and after a
15 public hearing on the matter following notice given as
16 provided in Section 15-5, pass an ordinance annulling the
17 automatic disconnection of territory from the coterminous
18 township. The action by the county board shall not affect
19 the disconnection of territory from the city, but shall cause
20 the territory to remain in the coterminous township. The
21 annulling by the county board of the automatic disconnection
22 of territory from the coterminous township shall not affect
23 the city's status as a city with a coterminous township.
