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.

Sec. 110-60.

Amendment of regulations; hearing.

The regulations imposed and
the districts created under this Article may be amended from time to time by
the township board by ordinance or resolution after the ordinance or resolution
establishing the regulation has gone into effect, but no amendments shall be
made without a hearing before the board of appeals. At least 15 days notice of
the time and place of the hearing shall be published in an official paper or a
paper of general circulation in the township. If there is a written protest
against any proposed amendment, signed and acknowledged (i) by the owners of
20% of the frontage proposed to be altered, (ii) by the owners of 20% of the
frontage immediately adjoining or across an alley from the frontage proposed to
be altered, or (iii) by the owners of 20% of the frontage directly opposite the
frontage proposed to be altered, the amendment shall not be passed except
by the favorable vote of three-fourths of all the members of the township
board.
