(b) Legislative Declaration. There has been an increasing number of illegal acts committed
against animal research and production facilities involving
injury or loss of life to humans or animals, criminal
trespass and damage to property. These actions not only abridge the
property rights of the owner of the facility, they may also damage the
public interest by jeopardizing crucial scientific, biomedical, or
agricultural research or production. These actions can also
threaten the public safety by possibly exposing communities to serious
public health concerns and creating traffic hazards. These actions may
substantially disrupt or damage publicly funded research and
can result in the potential loss of physical and intellectual property.
Therefore, it is in the interest of the people of the State of Illinois to
protect the welfare of humans and animals as well as productive use of
public funds to require regulation to prevent unauthorized possession,
alteration, destruction, or transportation of research records, test data,
research materials, equipment, research and agricultural production animals. (c) It shall be unlawful for any person: (1) to release, steal, or otherwise intentionally | ||
| ||

this Section from seeking appropriate relief under any other provision of law
or remedy including the issuance of a permanent injunction against any
person who violates any provision of this Section. The animal facility owner
or operator may petition the court to permanently enjoin the person from
violating this Section and the court shall provide this relief. (f) The Director shall have authority to investigate any alleged
violation of this Section, along with any other law enforcement agency, and may
take any action within the Director's authority necessary for the
enforcement of this Section. State's Attorneys, State police and other law
enforcement officials shall provide any assistance required in the conduct
of an investigation and prosecution. Before the Director reports a
violation for prosecution he or she may give the owner or operator of the
animal facility and the alleged violator an opportunity to present his or
her views at an administrative hearing. The Director may adopt any rules and regulations necessary
for the enforcement of this Section.
