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.

20 ILCS 1015/7

    (20 ILCS 1015/7) (from Ch. 48, par. 183)
    Sec. 7. No fee or compensation shall be charged or received directly or indirectly from persons applying for employment or help through said free employment offices, and any officer or employee of the Department of Employment Security who shall accept, directly or indirectly any fee or compensation from any applicant or from his or her representative shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor, except that this Section does not prohibit referral of an individual to an apprenticeship program that is approved by and registered with the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and charges an application fee of $50 or less. This Section does not prohibit the Department from attending or promoting hiring events hosted by someone other than the Department, at which an admission fee is charged, if neither the Department nor employees of the Department receive any portion of the fee in connection with the event.
