SB 1526

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that an objector to proposed annexation may file a petition objecting to the annexation if the objector does not desire annexation and if the exclusion of all or a specifically described portion of the objector's land will not destroy the contiguity of the territory that is proposed to be annexed, provided that the objector may also or instead propose the annexation of other territory owned by the objector in order to maintain contiguity. Provides that the court hearing an objection to an annexation petition based on this new ground, upon finding the objection is valid, may order the petition to be amended to alter the boundaries of the territory to be annexed in accordance with those provisions. Effective immediately.
