Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.


735 ILCS 30/25-5-104.5

    (735 ILCS 30/25-5-104.5)
    Sec. 25-5-104.5. Continuation and validation of quick-take powers; Menard County; Athens Blacktop.
    (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following:
        (1) When Section 25-5-105 was added to this Act by
    
Public Act 103-3, it contained a provision that called for Section 25-5-105 to be repealed May 31, 2023, which was 2 years after the effective date of Public Act 103-3.
        (2) As a result of the enactment of Public Act
    
103-605, the repeal date of Section 25-5-105 was extended to May 31, 2025.
        (3) Senate Bill 2456 of the 104th General Assembly
    
included a provision that further extended the repeal date of Section 25-5-105 from May 31, 2025 to May 31, 2026, but Senate Bill 2456 did not become law until June 16, 2025.
        (4) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules
    
on the repeal of statutes, but Section 1 of that Act also states that these rules will not be observed when the result would be "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute".
        (5) The actions of the General Assembly in passing
    
Senate Bill 2456 clearly manifested the intention of the General Assembly to extend the date for the repeal of Section 25-5-105.
        (6) Any construction of Section 25-5-105 that results
    
in the repeal of Section 25-5-105 on May 31, 2025 would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly.
    (b) It is hereby declared to be the intent of the General Assembly that Section 25-5-105 should not be subject to repeal on May 31, 2025 and that the repeal date of Section 25-5-105 should be further extended to July 1, 2027.
    (c) Section 25-5-105 of this Act, therefore, shall not be subject to repeal on May 31, 2025 and, instead, shall be deemed to have been in continuous effect since its original effective date and shall remain in effect until it is otherwise lawfully repealed.
    (d) All actions taken in reliance on or pursuant to Section 25-5-105 by any officer or agency of State government or any other person or entity are validated.
    (e) To ensure the continuing effectiveness of Section 25-5-105, Section 25-5-105 is set forth in full and re-enacted by this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly. This re-enactment is intended as a continuation of Section 25-5-105. It is not intended to supersede any amendment to Section 25-5-105 that is enacted by the General Assembly.
    (f) In this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly, the base text of the reenacted Section is set forth as amended by Public Act 104-10. Striking and underscoring is used only to show additional changes being made to the base text.
    (g) This amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly applies to all claims, civil actions, and proceedings pending on or filed on, before, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act.
