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.

(70 ILCS 1860/34) (from Ch. 19, par. 317)

Sec. 34.

If there is territory contiguous to the District which has no
legal voters residing therein, a petition to annex such territory, signed
by all the owners of record of such territory may be filed with the circuit
court for the county in which the major part of the District is situated. A
time and place for a hearing on the subject of the petition shall be fixed
and notice thereof shall be given in the manner provided in Section 33.
At such hearing any owner of land in the territory proposed to be annexed,
the District and any resident of the District may appear and be heard
touching on the sufficiency of the petition. If the court finds that the
petition satisfies the requirements of this Section it shall enter an order
stating that thenceforth such territory shall be an integral part of the America's Central
 Port District and subject to all of the benefits of
service and responsibilities, including the assumption of a proportionate
share of the general obligation bonded indebtedness, if any, of the
District. The circuit clerk shall transmit a certified copy of the order of
the court to the circuit clerk of any other county in which the annexed
territory is situated.
