Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 30 ILCS 345/2

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • State: when applied to different parts of the United States, may be construed to include the District of Columbia and the several territories, and the words "United States" may be construed to include the said district and territories. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 5 ILCS 70/1.14
  • Units of local government: has the meaning established in Section 1 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 5 ILCS 70/1.28
     The General Assembly has determined that the federal government has imposed certain restrictions on the aggregate amount of private activity bonds, the interest on which is not included in federal gross income for purposes of federal income tax, which may be issued by the State, its agencies, instrumentalities and local governments, including home rule and non-home rule governments. It is necessary for the State to establish procedures in order to achieve marketability and to ensure the equitable issuance of such bonds. It is declared to be the purpose of this Act to establish the compliance provisions for the State and units of local government in the issuance of such private activity bonds.
