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 454/10-5)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)

Sec. 10-5. Payment of compensation.

(a) No licensee shall pay compensation directly to a licensee sponsored by
another sponsoring broker for
the performance of licensed activities.  No licensee sponsored by a broker may
pay compensation to
any licensee other than his or her sponsoring broker for the performance of
licensed activities
unless the licensee paying the compensation is a principal to the transaction.
However, a non-sponsoring broker may pay compensation directly to a licensee
sponsored by
another or a person
who is not sponsored by a broker if the payments are made pursuant to terms of
an employment
agreement that was previously in place between a licensee and the
non-sponsoring broker, and the
payments are for licensed activity performed by that person while previously
sponsored by the now
non-sponsoring broker.

(b) No licensee sponsored by a broker shall accept compensation for the
performance of
activities under this Act except from the broker by whom the licensee is
sponsored, except as
provided in this Section.

(c) (Blank).

(d) One sponsoring broker may pay compensation directly to another
sponsoring broker for the
performance of licensed activities.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a sponsoring broker may pay compensation to a person currently licensed under the Auction License Act who is in compliance with and providing services under Section 5-32 of this Act.
