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.

225 ILCS 605/18

    (225 ILCS 605/18) (from Ch. 8, par. 318)
    Sec. 18. The licensee shall:
        (a) Maintain sanitary conditions.
        (b) Ensure proper ventilation.
        (c) Provide adequate nutrition.
        (d) Provide humane care and treatment of all animals
    
under his jurisdiction.
        (e) Take reasonable care to release for sale, trade,
    
or adoption only those animals which are free of disease, injuries, or abnormalities. A health certificate, meeting the requirements of the Department and issued by a licensed veterinarian for any such animal within 5 days before such sale, trade, or adoption, is prima facie evidence that the licensee has taken reasonable care, as required by this paragraph.
    Inspection of the premises of a licensee to determine compliance with this Act may be made only by the Department.
