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.

(50 ILCS 205/10) (from Ch. 116, par. 43.110)

Sec. 10.

The head of each agency shall submit to the appropriate
Commission, in accordance with the regulations of the Commission, lists or
schedules of public records in his custody that are not needed in the
transaction of current business and that do not have sufficient
administrative, legal or fiscal value to warrant their further
preservation. The head of each agency shall also submit lists or schedules
proposing the length of time each records series warrants retention for
administrative, legal or fiscal purposes after it has been received by the
agency. The Commission shall determine what public records have no
administrative, legal, research or historical value and should be destroyed
or otherwise disposed of and shall authorize destruction or other disposal
thereof. No public record shall be destroyed or otherwise disposed of by
any Local Records Commission on its own initiative, nor contrary to law.
This Section shall not apply to court records as governed by Section 4 of
this Act.
