Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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. 13. Notification. (a) If an undertaking will occur on property that the property owner has been notified in writing by the Department that the land is likely to contain human remains, unregistered graves, grave markers, or grave artifacts, a permit shall be obtained by the landowner from the Department. (b) If human remains, unregistered graves, grave markers, or grave artifacts that were unknown and were encountered by any person, a permit shall be obtained from the Department before any work on the undertaking may continue. (c) The Department of Natural Resources shall adopt administrative rules whereby
permits shall be issued for the avoidance, disturbance, or removal of human remains, unregistered graves, grave markers, or grave artifacts, or a combination of those activities. The Department may adopt emergency rules in accordance with Sections 5-45 and 5-45.35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The adoption of emergency rules authorized by Sections 5-45 and 5-45.35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and this paragraph is deemed to be necessary for the public interest, safety, and welfare.
(d) Each permit shall specify all terms and conditions under which the
avoidance, removal, or disturbance of human remains, grave artifacts, grave markers, or unregistered graves shall
be carried out. All costs accrued in the removal of the aforementioned
materials shall be borne by the permit applicant. Within 60 days of the completion of the undertaking, the permit holder shall submit a report, on a form provided by the Department, of the results to the Department.
