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.

(20 ILCS 210/11.1) (from Ch. 127, par. 1711.1)

Sec. 11.1.

The Department shall establish and promote contests and
exhibitions of various classes of livestock to be known as the "Land of
Lincoln Breeders Awards for Purebred or Registered Livestock" and to be
conducted at the State Fair at Springfield. Only animals bred, born and
maintained in Illinois and owned and exhibited by Illinois residents shall
be eligible to participate in such contests and exhibitions; however, such
animals shall be permitted out of this State for a reasonable period of
time for showings, exhibitions, breeding or reproductive purposes, or medical treatment.

An annual appropriation from the Agricultural Premium Fund or the Illinois State Fair Fund shall  be made
for the "Land of Lincoln Breeders Awards for Purebred or Registered
Livestock". The percentage of the appropriation for each class or show of
livestock shall be set by the Department in premium books. These premium books shall be maintained as a public record at the Department's principal office in Springfield, Illinois, and made available for public inspection and copying during regular business hours, but shall be exempt from the rulemaking procedures of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
