Illinois Code § 10

§ 10.

All fines, penalties, and forfeitures incurred or imposed before this act takes effect for the violation of the ordinances, by-laws, or rules of any of the park districts or corporate authorities hereby superseded by the Chicago Park District shall be enforced or collected under the authority of the Chicago Park District. All powers of taxation or assessment that may have become part of any contract of indebtedness incurred or entered into by any of the park districts or corporate authorities hereby superseded by the Chicago Park District shall be preserved only insofar as their exercise may become necessary to save and protect or enforce the rights of creditors or those holding obligations created in view or in respect of any tax, assessment, or power of taxation or assessment, and in the event of any such powers so becoming necessary shall be exercised by the corporate authorities of the Chicago Park District to the same extent as the park districts or corporate authorities contracting such indebtedness would have been bound to exercise the same.
