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. 14.

Communications.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency
shall ascertain what means exist for rapid and efficient
communications in times of disaster.  The Illinois Emergency Management
Agency shall consider
the desirability of supplementing these communications resources or of integrating
them into a comprehensive State or State-Federal telecommunications or other
communications system or network.  In studying the character and feasibility
of any system or its several parts, the Illinois Emergency Management
Agency shall evaluate the possibility
of multipurpose use thereof for general State and political subdivision purposes.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency may promulgate
rules to establish policies and procedures relating to telecommunications
and the continuation of rapid and efficient communications in times of
disaster to the extent authorized by any provision of this Act or other
laws and regulations.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency shall
make recommendations
to the Governor as appropriate.
