Cal. Civ. Code § 2
Notice of such meeting shall be given by publication in some newspaper published in such county of less than one hundred thousand inhabitants, where such cemetery is located, at least once in each week for three successive weeks previous to such meeting; if no newspaper is published in the county where such cemetery is located, then such notice shall be published in the newspaper nearest to such cemetery
Operative Text
Notice of such meeting shall be given by publication in some newspaper published in such county of less than one hundred thousand inhabitants, where such cemetery is located, at least once in each week for three successive weeks previous to such meeting; if no newspaper is published in the county where such cemetery is located, then such notice shall be published in the newspaper nearest to such cemetery.
Section 755 § 2 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes establishes how public notice must be given before a certain meeting related to a cemetery located in a county with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. The notice must appear in a local newspaper at least once per week for three consecutive weeks before the meeting takes place. If no newspaper is published within that county, the notice must instead be published in the newspaper located nearest to the cemetery.

While Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 755 § 2 is not a typical landlord-tenant provision, property owners or managers involved in cemetery-adjacent land matters in qualifying Illinois counties should be aware that meeting notices must be published weekly for three successive weeks in a qualifying local newspaper. If the county has no locally published newspaper, operators must identify and use the nearest available newspaper for publication. Maintaining documentation of each weekly publication helps demonstrate compliance with the notice requirements under this section.

Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 755 § 2 is primarily a procedural notice rule rather than a standard tenant-protection provision, but individuals with an interest in proceedings governed by this statute should be aware that proper public notice is a prerequisite for any covered meeting. If a meeting was held without the required three-week newspaper publication, that procedural deficiency may be relevant to the validity of actions taken at that meeting. Those with concerns about whether proper notice was given can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Illinois property and cemetery law.
