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.

(55 ILCS 5/3-8017) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-8017)

Sec. 3-8017.

Enforcement of orders.

If any provision of this
Division or any order of the Merit Commission is violated by any person,
regardless of whether that person's employment is under the jurisdiction of
the Division, the Commission may apply to the circuit court for relief by
injunction, mandamus or any other proper relief.  The State's Attorney of
the county where the violation occurred shall prosecute such action.
Whenever the State's Attorney for the county where a violation is alleged
to have occurred refuses to prosecute the action, or fails to begin to
prosecute such action within 30 days after the date the Commission brings
the matter to his attention, the Commission may retain special counsel of
its own choice to prosecute such action.
