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.

    (70 ILCS 1837/90)
    Sec. 90. Permits. It is unlawful to make any fill or deposit of rock, earth, sand, or other material, or any refuse matter of any kind or description, or build or commence the building of any wharf, pier, dolphin, boom, weir, breakwater, bulkhead, jetty, bridge, or other structure over, under, or within 40 feet of any navigable waters within the District without first submitting the plans, profiles, and specifications therefor, and any other data and information as may be required, to the District and receiving a permit therefor; and any person, corporation, company, municipality, or other agency, that does any of the things prohibited in this Section, without securing a permit, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. No permit shall be required in the case of any project for which a permit has been secured from a proper governmental agency before the creation of the District nor shall any permit be required in the case of any project to be undertaken by one or more municipalities located within the District for which a permit is required from a governmental agency other than the District before the municipality can proceed with the project. And in such event, one or more of the municipalities shall give at least 10 days' notice to the District of the application for a permit for any such project from a governmental agency other than the District so that the District may be present and represent its position relative to the application before the other governmental agency. Any structure, fill, or deposit erected or made in any of the public bodies of water within the District, in violation of the provisions of this Section, is a purpresture and may be abated as such at the expense of the person, corporation, company, municipality, or other agency responsible therefor, or if, in the discretion of the District, it is decided that the structure, fill, or deposit may remain, the District may fix such rule, regulation, requirement, restriction, or rental or require and compel any change, modification, or repair as shall be necessary to protect the interest of the District.
