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 210/5008

(225 ILCS 210/5008) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 1-5008)

Sec. 5008. Administrative Review Law.

All final
administrative decisions of the Department under this Act are
subject to judicial review pursuant to the Administrative Review Law (735 ILCS 5/3-101 et seq.), as
now or hereafter amended, and its rules.
The term "administrative decision" is defined as in Section 3-101
of the Code of Civil Procedure. Appeals from all orders and judgments
entered by the court, in reviewing a final administrative decision of the
Department, may be taken by any party to the action as in other civil
cases. Pending final decision on such review, the acts, orders and rulings
of the Department shall remain in full force and effect unless modified or
suspended by order of court pending final judicial decision. The Department
shall not be required to certify any record to the court or file any answer
in court or otherwise appear in any court in a judicial review proceeding,
unless there is filed in the court with the complaint a receipt from the
Department acknowledging payment of the costs of furnishing and certifying
the record, which costs shall be computed at the rate of 35 cents
per page.
Failure on the part of the plaintiff to file such receipt
in court shall be grounds for dismissal of the action.
