Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(a) A regional office of education serving 2 or more counties, except those serving a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or more, formed pursuant to
Article 3A of the School Code shall be included within and be subject to this
Article, effective as of the effective date of consolidation.  For the purpose

counties shall pay its proportional cost of the office's
municipality contributions.  This cost shall be included in the budget prepared
under and apportioned in the manner provided by Section 3A-7 of the School
Code.  Each county may include the cost for its share of the municipality
contributions required for the regional office of education in
its appropriation and tax levy under Section 7-171 of this Article.

(b) At the request of the county, the Board may designate any
participating regional office of education
to be a separate reporting entity distinct from the county.
