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. 30-140.

Regulation of certain occupations.

In counties with a
population of less than 3,000,000, the electors may regulate hawkers, peddlers,
pawnbrokers, itinerant merchants, and transient vendors of merchandise.  The
township board in those counties may require that any such person register his
or her name and the name of any firm he or she represents with the township
clerk and may make reasonable restrictions of the hours during which he or she
may engage in door-to-door solicitation.  The township board in those counties
also may prohibit the activities of any categories of persons as it determines
to be in the best interest of township residents.  Any regulation under this
Section shall not apply within the boundaries of a city, village, or
incorporated town.
