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 470/10

(225 ILCS 470/10) (from Ch. 147, par. 110)

Sec. 10. Inspection.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Director may
inspect and
test all weights and measures held, offered, or exposed for sale to
ascertain if they are correct. The Director shall, within each period of 12 months or more
frequently if necessary, inspect and test all law enforcement scales used to
determine vehicle weights and
all weights and measures
commercially used (1) in determining the weight, measurement, or count of
commodities or things sold or offered or exposed for sale on the basis of
weight, measure, or count or (2) in computing the basic charge or
payment
for services rendered on the basis of weight, measure, or count to
ascertain if they are correct. However, with respect to single-service
devices (meaning those designed to be used commercially only once and then
discarded) and devices uniformly mass-produced, as by means of a mold or
die, and not susceptible to individual adjustment, such tests may be
made
on representative samples of these devices. The lots
of which such
samples are representative shall be held to be correct or incorrect upon
the basis of the results of the inspections and tests on the
samples.
