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.

    (55 ILCS 5/5-44030)
    Sec. 5-44030. Trustee-in-dissolution; powers and duties.
    (a) The trustee-in-dissolution shall have the following powers and duties:
        (1) to execute all of the powers and duties of the
    
previous board;
        (2) to levy and rebate taxes, subject to the approval
    
of the county board, for the purpose of paying the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the unit that are outstanding on the date of the dissolution and the necessary expenses of closing up the affairs of the district if these funds are not available from the unit of local government's general fund;
        (3) to present, within 30 days of his or her
    
appointment, a plan for the consolidation and dissolution of the unit of local government to the county board for its approval. The plan shall identify what functions, if any, of the unit of local government shall be undertaken by the county upon dissolution and whether any taxes previously levied for the provision of these functions shall be maintained;
        (4) to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with
    
one or more governmental entities to utilize existing resources including, but not limited to, labor, materials, and property, as may be needed to carry out the foregoing duties;
        (5) to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with
    
the county to combine or transfer any of the powers, privileges, functions, or authority of the unit of local government to the county as may be required to facilitate the transition; and
        (6) to sell the property of the unit and, in case any
    
excess remains after all liabilities of the unit are paid, the excess shall be transferred to a special fund created and maintained by the county treasurer to be expended solely to defer the costs incurred by the county in performing the duties of the unit, subject to the requirements of Section 5-44035 of this Division. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the county from acquiring any or all real or personal property of the district.
    (b) For fire protection jurisdictions, the trustee-in-dissolution shall not have:
        (1) the powers enumerated in this Section unless the
    
dissolution of that unit of local government shall not increase the average response times nor decrease the level of services provided; and
        (2) the power to decrease the levy that is in effect
    
on or before the date of dissolution of the fire protection jurisdiction that affects the provision of fire and emergency medical services.
