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.

(30 ILCS 155/4) (from Ch. 61, par. 404)

Sec. 4.

(a) There is created the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund, a
special fund in the State Treasury.  The Department of Revenue shall determine
annually the total amount contributed to such fund pursuant to this Act and
shall notify the State Comptroller and the State Treasurer of such amount to be
transferred to the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund, and upon receipt of
such notification the State Comptroller shall transfer such amount.

(b) The Department of Natural Resources shall deposit
any donations including federal reimbursements received for the purposes in the
Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund.

(c) The General Assembly may appropriate annually from the Illinois Wildlife
Preservation Fund such monies credited to such fund from the check-off
contribution system provided in this Act and from other funds received for the
purposes of this Act, to the Department of Natural Resources to be used for the
purposes of preserving, protecting,
perpetuating and enhancing non-game wildlife in this State.  Beginning with fiscal year 2006, 5% of the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund must be committed to or expended on grants by the Department of Natural Resources for the  maintenance of wildlife rehabilitation facilities that take care of threatened or endangered species. For purposes of calculating the 5%, the amount in the Fund is exclusive of any federal funds deposited in or credited to the Fund or any amount deposited in the Fund under subsection (b) of Section 805-555 of the Department of Natural Resources (Conservation) Law. The Department shall establish criteria for the grants by rules adopted in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act before January 1, 2006. However, no amount
appropriated from the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund may be used by the
Department of Natural Resources to exercise its power of
eminent domain.
