65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal 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.

A petition signed by electors equal in number to 5% of

to wit: "Shall the power to levy a tax for the purpose of providing a
fund for the maintenance or employment of a municipal band for musical
purposes and/or for the maintenance and conduct of programs in the
performing arts be continued?" The municipal clerk shall certify
this question for submission by the proper election authority at an election
in accordance with the general election law. If a majority of the votes cast on
the question are opposed to such continuation, no further levy for that

Sec. 11-45-6.

Any municipality which, immediately prior to January 1,

or maintaining of musical bands by municipalities," approved June 26,
1925, as amended, to levy an annual tax for the purpose of providing a
fund for the maintenance or employment of a municipal band for musical
purposes, may continue to levy the tax for that purpose under this
Division 45 without submitting the question of its levy to the electors
for approval, unless the electors vote to cancel the power to levy that
tax. The corporate authorities may, by ordinance or resolution, cause a
portion of the tax to be used to maintain and conduct programs in the
performing arts providing it does not exceed .05% of the value of the
taxable property within the municipality, as equalized or assessed by
the Department of Revenue.
