Illinois § 3-4

§ 3-4.

At the hearing, any resident in the proposed district or any district affected thereby may appear in support of the petition or to object thereto. At the conclusion of the hearing the State Board shall make a decision either granting or denying the petition. If the State Board denies the petition no election shall be held or further proceedings had unless its decision is reversed upon review. If the State Board approves the petition or if its denial of the petition is reversed on review, the regional superintendent of the county in which the territory described in the petition is situated or if the petition describes territory consisting of one county and all or a part of several counties, the regional superintendent of the county having the greater number of people included in the territory described in the petition, shall certify the proposition to the proper election officials, who shall submit such proposition at a regular scheduled election as provided in the general election law for the purpose of voting for or against the proposition of establishing a community college district. The decision of the State Board after the hearing shall be deemed an "administrative decision" as defined in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure and any petitioner or resident who appears at the hearing may file a complaint for a judicial review of such decision in accordance with the Administrative Review Law, and all amendments and modifications thereof and the rules adopted pursuant thereto. The commencement of any action for review shall operate as a stay of enforcement, and no referendum shall be held pending final disposition of such review. (Source: P.A. 84-551.)
