Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 20-70. Cooperation in investigations.

 It is the duty of
every officer and employee under the jurisdiction of an Executive
Inspector General, including any inspector general serving in any
State agency under the jurisdiction of that Executive Inspector
General, to cooperate with the Executive Inspector General and the Attorney General in any
investigation undertaken pursuant to this Act. Failure to cooperate includes, but is not limited to, intentional omissions and knowing false statements. Failure to cooperate
with an investigation of the Executive Inspector General or the Attorney General is grounds
for disciplinary action, including dismissal. Nothing in this Section limits or
alters a person's existing rights or protections under State or federal law.
