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.

625 ILCS 5/3-901

(625 ILCS 5/3-901) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-901)

Sec. 3-901. Purpose of Article.

Many persons throughout the State hold themselves out to the public as
being engaged in, and have engaged in, accepting money from members of the
public for remittance to the State of Illinois, and its licensing and
taxing agencies in payment of registration plates, vehicle certificates of title, taxes, or
registration fees. Some of these persons have failed to make such
remittance with the consequent loss to the remitters. It is the public
policy of this State that its people be protected against such hazards.
