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. 4-8-6a.

No officer or employee elected or appointed under this Article
shall request, accept, or receive, directly or indirectly, from any person
owning, operating, or leasing within or partly within the territorial

upon terms more favorable than are granted to the public generally, or any
employment, for hire or otherwise, or any free service or transportation,

A violation of this Section is a petty offense.  A conviction shall effect
a forfeiture of the office or employment.

firemen in uniform, nor shall this Section affect any free service to municipal
