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. 1705. Employment offices; State employment service.

The Director shall create as many employment districts and establish and
maintain as many State employment offices as he or she deems necessary to
carry
out the provisions of this Act. All
such offices and agencies so created and established shall constitute the
State
employment
service within the meaning of this Act. The Department of Employment
Security and the
Director thereof may continue to be the State agency for cooperation with
the United States Employment Service under an Act of Congress entitled "An
Act to provide for the establishment of a national employment system and
for cooperation with the States in the promotion of such system, and for
other purposes," approved June 6, 1933, as amended.

The Director may cooperate with or enter into agreements with the
Railroad Retirement Board with respect to the establishment, maintenance,
and use of free employment service facilities. For the purpose
of
establishing and maintaining free public employment offices, the
Director
is authorized to enter into agreements with the Railroad Retirement Board,
or any other agency of the United States charged with the administration of
an unemployment compensation law, or with any political subdivision of this
State, and as a part of any such agreement the Director may accept moneys,
services, or quarters as a contribution, to be treated in the same manner
as funds received pursuant to Section 2103.

Pursuant to Sections 4-6.2, 5-16.2, and 6-50.2 of the general election
law of the State, the Director shall make unemployment offices available
for use as temporary places of registration.  Registration within the offices
shall be in the most public, orderly, and convenient portions thereof, and
Sections 4-3, 5-3, and 11-4 of the general election law relative to the
attendance of police
officers during the conduct of registration shall apply.  Registration under
this Section shall be made in the manner provided by Sections 4-8, 4-10,
5-7, 5-9, 6-34, 6-35, and 6-37 of the general election law.  Employees of
the Department in those offices are eligible to serve as deputy
registrars.
