AN ACT concerning transportation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing
Section 6-602 as follows:
(605 ILCS 5/6-602) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-602)
Sec. 6-602. If a majority of all the ballots cast at such
election on such proposition are in favor of such special tax,
then the township board of trustees or highway board of
trustees, as the case may be, or the highway commissioner in a
county not under township organization of the road district
shall levy an annual tax in accordance with such vote and
certify the same to the county clerk. This certification may
occur at any time after the election. That board of trustees or
commissioner shall also cause a copy of such certificate of
levy to be filed in the office of the district clerk as
provided in Section 6-502 of this Code. The county clerk shall
cause such levy, thus certified to him to be extended on the
tax books for the current year and for each succeeding year as
other taxes are extended. The highway commissioner of the road
district may also receive donations in money, labor, materials
or other valuable things to aid in such road construction.
Such special tax levy shall remain in effect until repealed

by the legal voters of the road district, as provided in
Section 6-617 of this Code.
