Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

(55 ILCS 5/6-25001) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-25001)
Sec. 6-25001.
Validation of tax levy ordinances.
In all cases where
the board of county commissioners of any county having a population of
1,000,000 or more inhabitants at legally convened meetings held within the
first quarter of the fiscal years 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972,
1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984,
1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991 has adopted annual appropriation
bills for such fiscal years and thereafter such appropriation bills were
published in a newspaper as provided by law, and subsequently at legally
convened meetings held in such fiscal years within the time required by
law, said board of county commissioners adopted tax levy ordinances based
on such appropriation bills for county corporate, highway, civic center
rental, public assistance, law library, rabies control, motor fuel tax,
employees' annuity and benefit fund and hospital purposes, and certified
copies of such tax levy ordinances thereafter were duly filed with the
county clerk of said county, then such appropriation bills and tax levy
ordinances, and the taxes assessed, levied, and extended thereon, are
hereby validated, notwithstanding that the several amounts and purposes for
which such appropriations were made and taxes levied for such county
corporate, highway, civic center rental, public assistance, law library,
rabies control, motor fuel tax, employees' annuity and benefit fund and
hospital purposes, were not specifically itemized in detail as required by
statute, and notwithstanding that in said appropriation bills or tax levy
ordinances stated amounts of money are appropriated and levied for named
public purposes using general language that renders the amounts for such
purposes uncertain and illegal or the purposes for which the amounts are
appropriated and levied uncertain and illegal.
Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as
validating any tax levy in excess of the statutory rate of taxation
authorized for such fiscal years or for any purposes not permitted by
the constitution.

Division 6-26.
Extension of Tax to Pay
Principal and Interest on Certain Bonds
|
55 ILCS 5/6-26001
(55 ILCS 5/6-26001) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-26001)
Sec. 6-26001.
Extension of tax authorized.
Where in any county in this State bonds of any such county
and the levy of an additional tax in excess of the statutory limit but
within the constitutional limit for payment of such bonds have been
authorized for any proper county purpose to enable the county board to
perform any of the duties imposed upon them by law by a majority of the
legal voters voting on the question of issuing such bonds and levying
such additional tax at an election held since November 1, 1947, and
subsequently resolutions have been adopted authorizing such bonds as
voted and levying direct annual taxes sufficient to pay the principal of
and interest upon said bonds and a certified copy of such resolutions
have been filed in the office of the county clerk of said county, and
due to the increase in interest rates on public borrowings in the
financial markets of the country since such election, such voted
additional tax is not sufficient to pay the principal of such bonds and
interest thereon, the county clerk of any such county is authorized
hereafter to extend for collection a tax upon all the taxable property
therein, in addition to such voted additional tax, at a rate on the one
hundred dollar valuation which, when extended, will produce an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest upon said bonds as
authorized and levied in said bond resolutions, provided such additional
tax shall not be in excess of the constitutional limit of taxation
applicable to counties.
