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 5/2-4-4

(65 ILCS 5/2-4-4) (from Ch. 24, par. 2-4-4)

Sec. 2-4-4.

The corporate authorities shall fix the time when such petition
shall be considered, and publish a notice thereof at least once, not more
than 30 nor less than 15 days before the hearing, 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 notice shall state that
a change of the name of the municipality has been requested, the time when
action on the petition will be taken, and that remonstrances, if any, will
be heard at that time.
