55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

Official plans of counties of less than 500,000
population. In any county with a population not in excess of 500,000
located in the area served by the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area
Planning Commission any planning commission created under the provisions of
this Division may prepare and recommend to the county board of such county a
comprehensive plan of public improvements looking to the present and future
development of the region for the planning of which it was created. The
plan or plans when adopted by the county board shall be designated as the
official plan, or part thereof, of that county. Such plan or plans may be
adopted in whole or in separate geographical or functional parts, each of
which, when adopted, shall be the official plan or part thereof, of that
county. Thereafter, from time to time, the planning commission may
recommend changes in the official plan or any part thereof. To provide for
the health, safety, comfort and convenience of the inhabitants of the
county, such plans may establish reasonable standards of design for
subdivisions and for resubdivisions of unimproved land and areas subject to
redevelopment, including reasonable requirements for public streets,
alleys, ways for public service facilities, storm or flood water runoff
channels and basins, parks, playgrounds, school grounds, and other public
grounds.
