Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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 615/9

    (5 ILCS 615/9) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 5009)
    Sec. 9. All petroleum leases other than those provided for in Section 8 of this Act may be granted in parcels as determined by the Department, and shall be upon a royalty of not less than twelve and one-half (12 1/2 %) per centum of all petroleum produced and saved from the lands covered by such lease, or the market value of such petroleum, at the option of the Department, and all leases shall be for a primary term of ten (10) years, and shall provide for an annual rental, payable in advance, of from one ($1.00) dollar to ten ($10.00) dollars per acre, as the Department may determine, which rental shall be credited against future royalties. The form and terms of such leases shall be the same as the standard commercial petroleum lease generally in use in the territory in which the oil, gas or other petroleum products are located, with the addition thereto of such terms as in this Act and the rules and regulations of the Department are provided. Whenever the conditions contained in such standard commercial lease are in conflict with the provisions of the Act, the provisions of this Act shall control.
