AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Section 11-51-1 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/11-51-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-51-1)
Sec. 11-51-1. Cemetery removal. Whenever any any cemetery
is embraced within the limits of any city, village, or
incorporated town, the corporate authorities thereof, if, in
their opinion, any good cause exists why such cemetery should
be removed, may cause the remains of all persons interred
therein to be removed to some other suitable place. However,
the corporate authorities shall first obtain the assent of the
trustees or other persons having the control or ownership of
such cemetery, or a majority thereof. When such cemetery is
owned by one or more private parties, or private corporation or
chartered society, the corporate authorities of such city may
require the removal of such cemetery to be done at the expense
of such private parties, or private corporation or chartered
society, if such removal be based upon their application.
Nothing in this Section limits the powers of the City of
Chicago to acquire property or otherwise exercise its powers
under Section 15 of the O'Hare Modernization Act.
