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.

communities within this State with more than 500,000 inhabitants land
clearance commissions, created prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly and acting pursuant to the Blighted Areas
Redevelopment Act of 1947 (repealed) and
conservation boards, created and acting pursuant to the "Urban Community
Conservation Act," approved July 13, 1953, as amended; (b) that the
administration of these two closely related programs involving the
eradication or prevention of slum and blight areas and the redevelopment of
such areas can be accomplished more efficiently by a single instrumentality
as an agency of such urban community; (c) that in order to protect the
health, safety, morals and welfare of the public by the more efficient
administration of programs to aid in the eradication and prevention of slum
and blight areas and the redevelopment thereof it is necessary to provide
for the creation of a single instrumentality to absorb the functions of
land clearance commissions and conservation boards, and to exercise the
powers and authority granted by the Blighted Areas Redevelopment Act of
1947 (repealed) and the "Urban Community
Conservation Act," approved July 13, 1953, as amended; and (d) the
eradication and redevelopment of slum and blighted areas, the development

interest.
