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.

Summoning witnesses; subpoenas.

The coroner shall
have power to summon, or cause to be summoned, and compel the attendance of
all such witnesses whose testimony may probably be requisite to the proving
of any fact or circumstance relating to the object of such his inquest, and
to administer to such witnesses the proper oath.

If the coroner is unable to secure records or documents he deems necessary
to complete the investigation required by Section 3-3013, or for the
establishing or proving of any fact or circumstance relating to the object
of his inquest, he shall appear before the circuit judge of the county for
which he is coroner and, upon good cause shown, said judge shall issue a
