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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-76.1-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-76.1-3)

Sec. 11-76.1-3.

After the ordinance providing for the lease or purchase
of real or personal property has been passed, it shall be published at
least twice within 30 days after its passage in one or more newspapers
published in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is published therein,
then in one or more newspapers with a general circulation within the
municipality. In municipalities with less than 500 population in which no
newspaper is published, publication may instead be made by posting a notice
in 3 prominent places within the municipality. The ordinance shall not
become effective until 30 days after its second publication.
