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.

    If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition are in the affirmative, the bonds may be issued.
    The provisions of Public Act 88-360 incorporated into this Section by this amendatory Act of 1994 do not affect the obligations of a township or the rights of bondholders with respect to bonds issued under this Article or its predecessor Act before August 16, 1993.
    Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, any township may, by ordinance or resolution, purchase, erect, equip, remodel, or renovate a community building without referendum approval, if the purchasing, erecting, equipping, remodeling, or renovating of the community building is paid or provided for with funds that are not the proceeds of bonds authorized under this Article.
