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.

Transfer from road and bridge fund.
Whenever the road and bridge
fund of any township in a county with a population of 50,000 or
more contains
a balance no longer needed for road and bridge purposes, occasioned by the fact
that the township no longer has any roads or bridges under its jurisdiction,
the voters of the township at an annual township meeting or at a special
township meeting called for the purpose may, by resolution by a majority vote
of the voters present and voting on the resolution, transfer the balance
to the general township fund or to any other township fund or funds.
For a period of one year after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, the voters of a township at
an annual township meeting or at a special township meeting called for the
purpose may, by resolution by a majority vote of the voters present and
voting on the resolution, distribute funds from the road and bridge fund to
any township fund used for construction or maintenance of sewage or water
treatment facilities.

Sec. 265-5.
Distribution to school districts.
(a) Whenever the electors attending an annual or special township meeting
of a township in a county with a population of more than 1,000,000 (counties of
the third class) determine that the general township fund of the township is in
excess of the amount needed for township purposes during the remainder of the
then current fiscal year, the electors may, by resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the electors attending the meeting, direct
that all or any portion of the excess funds be distributed ratably to the
various school districts maintaining grades 1 through 8 that are wholly or
partly located in the township. In any distribution to school districts, the
share of each school district wholly or partly located within the township
shall be the proportion that the assessed valuation of all property within
the school district or part of the school district in the township bears to the
total assessed valuation of all property in the township.
(b) For purposes of distribution ratably to school districts under this
Section, the township supervisor shall determine the ratable distribution on
the basis of the most recent assessment figures as supplied to him or her by
the county assessor.
