Introduced·1/5/26
Introduced Text

Illinois HB4270 requires a township to abolish a road district if its roads are less than 15 miles long.

HB4270 amends the Illinois Highway Code to mandate that a township abolish a road district if its roads are less than 15 centerline miles in length. The abolition occurs upon the expiration of the term of the highway commissioner facing abolition, following a determination by the county engineer or county superintendent of highways. Upon abolition, all rights, powers, duties, assets, property, liabilities, obligations, and responsibilities of the road district transfer to the township. The township board of trustees assumes all taxing authority and duties of the highway commissioner.
