Illinois · Municipalities · §§ 65-5-1-1-1 to 65-5-1-1-9 · 15 sections

Overview

The act provides the general framework of law governing the incorporation, organization, and powers of municipalities within a state, applying broadly to cities, villages, and incorporated towns however they were originally chartered. It defines the basic terms and offices of municipal government, sets out the scope of the code's application to differently situated municipalities, and vests the corporate authorities of each municipality with enumerated powers they may exercise alone or jointly with other municipalities, governmental subdivisions, or districts. It also authorizes a range of specific municipal activities — among them contracting with school boards, hospitals, and commercial, industrial, and residential property owners, entering contractual assessment arrangements to finance renewable energy improvements, establishing community-based committees to coordinate economic programs, and complying with accessibility and public-notice requirements.
