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.

    Sec. 7. Honey.

(a) For the purpose of this Section, "honey house" means any stationary or portable building or any room or place within a building that is used for the purpose of extracting, processing, or other handling of honey.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Department may not regulate honey that is in the comb or that is removed from the comb and in an unadulterated condition; both forms of honey are exempt from the provisions of this Act.

(c) If a producer is engaged in the sale of honey that is left in the comb or removed from the comb in an unadulterated condition at a local market and packs or sells less than 500 gallons of honey produced in this State per year, then the Department may not regulate or inspect the producer's honey house.
