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.

The duty of enforcing this Act and carrying out its provisions is
vested in the Director, and the authorities designated in this Act
acting under the supervision and direction of the Director. If a Control Authority fails to carry out its duties and responsibilities under this Act or fails to follow the Department's rules, the Director shall enforce this Act or rules by sending a Notice of Noncompliance to the Control Authority. The
Director, the Dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences of the University of
Illinois and the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the
University of Illinois, shall determine what weeds are noxious for the
purposes of this Act, and shall compile and keep current a list of such
noxious weeds, which list shall be published and incorporated in the
rules and regulations of the Department. The Director shall, from time
to time, adopt and publish methods as official for control and
eradication of noxious weeds and make and publish such rules and
regulations as in his judgment are necessary to carry out the provisions
of this Act.
