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.
(5 ILCS 430/35-5)
Sec. 35-5. Appointment of Inspectors General. Nothing in this Act
precludes
the appointment by the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General,
the
Secretary of State, the Comptroller, or the Treasurer of any inspector general
required
or permitted by law. Nothing in this Act precludes the Governor, the Attorney
General,
the Secretary of State, the Comptroller, or the Treasurer from appointing an
existing
inspector general under his or her jurisdiction to serve simultaneously as an
Executive
Inspector General. This Act shall be read consistently with all existing State
statutes
that create inspectors general under the jurisdiction of an executive branch
constitutional officer.
This Act prohibits the appointment or employment by an officer, member, State employee, or State agency of any person to serve or act with respect to one or more State agencies as an Inspector General under this Act except as authorized and required by Articles 20, 25, and 30 of this Act or Section 14 of the Secretary of State Act. No officer, member, State employee, or State agency may appoint or employ an inspector general for any purpose except as authorized or required by law. (Source: P.A. 96-555, eff. 8-18-09.) |
