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.

(765 ILCS 120/6) (from Ch. 30, par. 406)

Sec. 6.

This Act shall not be construed to imply that any restriction,
easement, covenant or condition which does not have the benefit of the Act
shall, on account of any provision herein, be unenforceable.  Nothing in
this Act shall diminish the powers granted in any other law to acquire by
purchase, gift, grant, eminent domain or otherwise and to use land for public purposes. A conservation right shall not be extinguished by adverse possession, a claim of abandonment, or merger, and may be extinguished only by such procedure as may be set forth in the conservation right or by a release of the conservation right in accordance with the terms of the conservation right. No prescriptive easement shall be established that adversely impacts the conservation values protected by the conservation right.
