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.

510 ILCS 30/6.3

(510 ILCS 30/6.3) (from Ch. 8, par. 139.3)

Sec. 6.3.

Female cattle of the beef breeds over 6 and under 18
months of age, for feeding and grazing purposes only, may enter the
State or may be shipped from marketing centers or auction
markets within the State without
test for brucellosis. The Department may require that such cattle be held under quarantine until they have
passed a negative brucellosis test and such test is reported to the
Department, or until a report of their disposal for slaughter is made to
the Department. They may be held in quarantine without test during their
feeding and grazing period, which period shall not exceed 12 months from
date of entry. Upon application to the Department and at the discretion
of the Department such period may be extended for an additional period
not to exceed 90 days. When required by the Department, at the expiration of the feeding and grazing
period the cattle shall be sold for immediate slaughter or tested for
brucellosis at the expense of the owner. The owner shall report such
disposition to the Department. Such cattle classified as reactors to an
official test for brucellosis shall be sold for immediate slaughter and
the owner shall report their disposal to the Department.
