 (was 735 ILCS 5/7-103)Sec. 20-5-5. Quick-take.(a) This Section applies only to proceedings under this Article that are  authorized in this Article and in Article 25 of this Act.(b) In a proceeding subject to this Section,  the plaintiff, at any time after the complaint has been filed and before  judgment is entered in the proceeding, may file a written motion requesting  that, immediately or at some specified later date, the plaintiff either: (i) be  vested with the fee simple title (or such lesser estate, interest, or  easement, as may be required) to the real property, or a specified portion  of that property, which is the subject of the proceeding, and be authorized to take  possession of and use the property; or (ii) only be authorized to take  possession of and to use the property, if possession and use, without  the vesting of title, are sufficient to permit the plaintiff to proceed  with the project until the final ascertainment of compensation. No  land or interests in land now or hereafter owned, leased, controlled, or  operated and used by, or necessary for the actual operation of, any common  carrier engaged in interstate commerce, or any other public utility subject  to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission, shall be taken or  appropriated under this Section by the State of Illinois, the Illinois Toll Highway  Authority, the sanitary district, the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Airport  Authority, or the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois without  first securing the approval of the Illinois Commerce Commission.Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the motion for taking shall  state: (1) an accurate description of the property to which the motion  relates and the estate or interest sought to be acquired in that property; (2)  the formally adopted schedule or plan of operation for the execution of  the plaintiff's project; (3) the situation of the property to which the  motion relates, with respect to the schedule or plan; (4) the necessity  for taking the            property in the manner requested in the motion; and (5)  if the property (except property described in Section 3 of the Sports  Stadium Act or property described as Site B in Section 2 of the  Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act) to be taken is owned,  leased, controlled, or operated and used by, or necessary for the actual  operation of, any interstate common carrier or other public utility subject  to the jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission, a statement to the  effect that the approval of the proposed taking has been secured from the  Commission, and attaching to the motion a certified copy of the order of  the Illinois Commerce Commission granting approval.  If the schedule or plan of  operation is not set forth fully in the motion, a copy of the schedule or  plan shall be attached to the motion.     (Source: P.A. 94-1055, eff. 1-1-07.)
735 ILCS 30/20-5-10
2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 735 - CIVIL PROCEDURE|735 ILCS 30/ - Eminent Domain Act.|Article 20 - Quick-take Procedure

 (was 735 ILCS 5/7-104)Sec. 20-5-10. Preliminary finding of compensation.(a) The court shall fix a date, not less than 5 days after  the filing of a motion under Section 20-5-5, for the hearing on that motion and shall require  due notice to be given to each party to the proceeding whose interests  would be affected by the taking requested, except that any party who has  been or is being served by publication and who has not entered his or her  appearance in the proceeding need not be given notice unless the court  so requires, in its discretion and in the interests of justice.(b) At the hearing, if the court has not previously, in the same  proceeding, determined that the plaintiff has authority to exercise the  right of eminent domain, that the property sought to be taken is subject  to the exercise of that right, and that the right of eminent domain is not being  improperly exercised in the particular proceeding, then the court shall first  hear and determine those matters.  The court's order on those matters is  appealable and an appeal may be taken from that order by either party within  30 days after the entry of the order, but not thereafter, unless the  court, on good cause shown, extends the time for taking the        appeal.  However, no appeal shall stay the further proceedings   prescribed in this Act unless the appeal is taken by the plaintiff or unless an  order staying further proceedings is entered either by the  trial court or by the court to which the appeal is taken.(c) If the foregoing matters are determined in favor of the  plaintiff and further proceedings are not stayed, or if further  proceedings are stayed and the appeal results in a determination in  favor of the plaintiff, the court then shall hear the issues raised by  the plaintiff's motion for taking.  If the court finds that reasonable  necessity exists for taking the property in the manner requested in the  motion, then the court shall hear such evidence as it may consider  necessary and proper for a preliminary finding of just compensation. In its discretion, the court may appoint 3 competent and disinterested  appraisers as agents of the court to evaluate the property to which the  motion relates and to report their conclusions to the court; and their  fees shall be paid by the plaintiff.  The court shall then make a  preliminary finding of the amount constituting just compensation.(d) The court's preliminary finding of just compensation and any deposit  made or security provided pursuant to that finding shall not be evidence in the  further proceedings to ascertain finally the just compensation to be  paid and shall not be disclosed in any manner to a jury impaneled in  the proceedings. If appraisers have been appointed, as   authorized under this Article, their report shall not be evidence in those further  proceedings, but the appraisers may be called as witnesses by the  parties to the proceedings.
