605 ILCS 105/ Bridge Construction Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

That the assent of the State of Illinois is
hereby given any corporation or association organized under the laws of
this state, and subject thereto, to construct bridges across navigable
rivers in this state, and upon the boundaries thereof, whenever authorized
by the Congress of the United States, under such conditions and
restrictions as the Congress may impose: Provided, that whenever any state
bordering on the Ohio or Mississippi river has refused or neglected, and
shall continue to refuse or neglect to grant privileges similar to those
granted by this act, or has repealed, or shall hereafter repeal, any
charter of any bridge company, organized for the purpose of building a
bridge across the Ohio river or the Mississippi river, the provisions of
this act shall not apply to the construction of any bridge not now
commenced from any such state into this state, and no bridge shall
hereafter be commenced and built into this state, or made to connect with
any railroad in this state across the Ohio river or the Mississippi river
from any state which has repealed or may hereafter repeal the charter of
any bridge company, organized to build a bridge across the Ohio or

repealed by such state.
