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.

(520 ILCS 10/4) (from Ch. 8, par. 334)

Sec. 4.

Upon receipt of proper application and approval of the
same, the Department may issue to any qualified
person a permit which allows the
taking, possession, transport, purchase, or
disposal of specimens or products of an endangered
or threatened species of animal or federal endangered plant after the
effective date of this Act for
justified purposes, that will enhance the survival of the affected
species by zoological, botanical or educational or
for scientific purposes only. Rules for the issuance and maintenance
of permits shall be promulgated by the Department after consultation with
and written approval of the Board. The Department shall, upon
notice and hearing, revoke the permit of any holder thereof upon
finding that the person is not complying with the terms of the permit,
the person is knowingly providing incorrect or inadequate information, the activity
covered by the permit is placing the species in undue jeopardy, or for
other cause.
