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.

620 ILCS 5/49.1

(620 ILCS 5/49.1) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 22.49a)

Sec. 49.1.

Creation of hazards.

No person may create or construct any
airport hazard which obstructs a restricted landing area or residential
airport that (1) serves 20 or
more based aircraft, and (2) is located within the "metropolitan region" as
that term is defined in the Regional Transportation Authority Act.  For the
purpose of this Section, "based aircraft" are
aircraft that are regularly hangared or tied-down at the restricted landing
area or residential airport, or that use it as their primary base of operation.
As used in this Section 49.1, "restricted landing area" or "residential
airport" shall have the
meaning set forth in regulations
of the Department in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act of
1989, but shall not include amendments of the regulations adopted by the
Department thereafter.
