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.

(225 ILCS 705/10.04) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 1004)

Sec. 10.04.

The State Mine Inspector shall make a personal investigation as  to the nature and cause of all serious accidents in mines under his
supervision.  He shall make a record of the circumstances attending the
accident, as developed at the coroner's inquest and by his own personal
investigation.  A copy of the record shall be filed with the Department
within 30 days following the conclusion of the investigation, and the
report shall thereupon become a part of the records of the Department.  To
enable the State Mine Inspector to make his investigation he has the power
to compel the attendance of witnesses, and to administer oaths or
affirmations to them.
