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.

(30 ILCS 5/3-4) (from Ch. 15, par. 303-4)

Sec. 3-4.

Investigations.

The Auditor General shall make such investigations as are directed by
either house of the General Assembly or by the Commission in a resolution
specifying the acts, transactions or practices to be the subject of the
investigation.

The resolution directing such an investigation may specify to whom the
Auditor General shall make his findings and recommendations after the
investigation and whether those findings and recommendations are to be made
public.

Unless the resolution directing the investigation provides otherwise,
the Auditor General shall direct and provide his findings and
recommendations to the Commission, to the Governor, to the official in
charge of each agency included in the investigation and to each person who
was named individually as a subject of investigation by the directing
resolution. No other publicity shall be given to the report and
recommendations other than is provided by this paragraph.

The Auditor General may recommend to the Commission that an
investigation be directed with regard to any matter which he believes to be
in the public interest to investigate.
