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 3610/8.5) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 358.5)
Sec. 8.5.
In addition to any other method provided for annexation
under this Act, any territory, except property classified as farmland,
which (1) lies within the corporate limits of a municipality as defined in
this Act, (2) is contiguous to a local mass transit district organized
under this Act, and (3) is not a part of another local mass transit
district, may be annexed by the contiguous local mass transit district, by
ordinance, after a public hearing has been held thereon by the board of
trustees of the district at a location within the territory sought to be
annexed, or within 1 mile of any part of the territory sought to be annexed.
The annexing district shall cause to be published three times in a newspaper
having general circulation within the area considered for annexation, at least
30 days prior to the public hearing thereon, a notice that the local mass
transit district is considering the annexation of the territory specified. The
notice shall also state the date, time and place of the public hearing. The
annexing district shall cause to be delivered to each owner of a parcel of land
which is 5 or more acres, which land is proposed to be annexed in whole or in
part, a written notice containing the information required to be included in
the published notice. The notice shall be delivered by first class mail so that
said notice arrives 30 days in advance of the public hearing. The board of
trustees of the district shall give due consideration to all testimony. For
the purposes of this Section "property classified as farmland" shall mean
property classified as farmland for assessment purposes pursuant to the
Property Tax Code.
This Section shall not apply to any mass transit district in the State which
receives funding in whole or in part from the Regional Transportation Authority
or any of its service boards.
