Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(525 ILCS 5/5) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 9505)
Sec. 5.
Owners of land shall not be liable for injuries, mental harm or
death sustained by persons using their land, including but not limited to
cave resources, for recreational, educational or scientific purposes. By
granting permission for entry or use, the owner does not thereby:
(a) extend any assurance that the premises are safe for such purposes, or
(b) constitute to the permittee the legal status of an invitee or
licensee to whom a duty of care is owed, or
(c) assume responsibility for or incur liability for any injury to
person or property caused by an act or omission of a permittee except as
provided in this Section.
This Act shall not limit the liability which otherwise exists for (1)
willful or malicious failure to guard or warn against a dangerous
condition, use or natural structure; or (2) failure to guard or warn
against a dangerous manmade structure, fixture or activity; or (3)
for injury suffered in any case where permission to enter for the above purpose
was granted for a consideration.
Nothing in this Section creates a duty of care or ground of liability for
injury to person or property.
