1 | AN ACT concerning civil law.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Eminent Domain Act is amended by changing | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | Section 10-5-5 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (735 ILCS 30/10-5-5) (was 735 ILCS 5/7-101)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 10-5-5. Compensation; jury. | |||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) Private property shall not not be taken
or damaged for | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | public use without just compensation and, in all cases in which
| |||||||||||||||||||
10 | compensation is not made by the condemning authority, | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | compensation shall be ascertained by a jury, as provided in | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | this Act.
When
compensation is so made by the condemning | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | authority, any party,
upon application, may have a trial by | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | jury to
ascertain the just compensation to be paid. A demand on | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | the part of the
condemning authority for a trial by jury shall | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | be filed
with the complaint for condemnation of the condemning | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | authority. When the condemning authority is plaintiff, a | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | defendant desirous of a trial by
jury must file a demand for a | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | trial by jury on or before the return date of the
summons | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | served on him or her or on or before the date fixed in the | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | publication in case of defendants
served by publication. If no | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | party in the condemnation action
demands a trial by jury, as | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | provided for by this Section, then the trial
shall be before |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the court without a jury. | ||||||
2 | (b) The right to just compensation, as
provided in this | ||||||
3 | Act, applies to the owner or owners of any lawfully erected
| ||||||
4 | off-premises outdoor advertising sign that is compelled to be | ||||||
5 | altered or
removed under this Act or any other statute, or | ||||||
6 | under any ordinance or
regulation of any municipality or other | ||||||
7 | unit of local government, and also
applies to the owner or | ||||||
8 | owners of the property on which that sign is erected.
The right | ||||||
9 | to just compensation, as provided in this Act, applies to
| ||||||
10 | property subject to a conservation right under the Real | ||||||
11 | Property Conservation
Rights Act. The amount of compensation | ||||||
12 | for the taking of the property shall not
be diminished or | ||||||
13 | reduced
by virtue of the existence of the conservation right. | ||||||
14 | The holder of the
conservation right shall be entitled to just | ||||||
15 | compensation for the value of the
conservation right. | ||||||
