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.

25 ILCS 150/4

(25 ILCS 150/4) (from Ch. 63, par. 107)

Sec. 4.

The presiding officer of the Commission or any person designated by
him, upon majority vote of the Commission, may administer oaths or
affirmations and summon and compel the attendance before the Commission and
examine under oath any person connected either directly or indirectly with
any transaction with State agencies or any other person having information
regarding the conditions, affairs, management, administration or methods
involved in such financial transactions or fiscal matters. The Commission
may similarly require any person having in his possession any records,
books, papers, contracts or other documents pertinent to such matters or
transactions to surrender the same or to otherwise afford the Commission
access thereto.

Should any person fail to obey the summons or refuse to surrender or
afford access, without reasonable cause, to any of the above mentioned
papers, records, books, contracts or other documents, the Commission may
apply to the Circuit Court of the County in which any operation of the
fiscal matter or financial transaction took place, and such Court, if it
finds that the Commission has not exceeded its authority, may, by order
duly entered, require the attendance of witnesses and the production of
relevant books and papers required by the Commission in carrying out the
purposes of the Act. Upon refusal or neglect to obey the order of the
Court, the Court may compel obedience of such order by proceedings for
contempt.
