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.
(225 ILCS 227/10)
Sec. 10. License; enforcement. No person may act as a pyrotechnic distributor, production company, or
lead pyrotechnic
operator, or advertise or use any title implying that the person is a pyrotechnic distributor, production company, or
lead
pyrotechnic operator, unless licensed by the Office under this Act. No pyrotechnic services or pyrotechnic display shall be conducted without a
person licensed under this Act as a lead pyrotechnic operator supervising the pyrotechnic
display or pyrotechnic service. The State Fire Marshal, in the name of the People, through the
Attorney General, the State's Attorney of any county, any resident of the
State, or any legal entity within the State may apply for injunctive relief in
any court to enjoin any person who has not been issued a license or whose
license has been suspended, revoked, or not renewed, from practicing a licensed
activity. Upon filing a verified
petition in court, the court, if satisfied by affidavit, or otherwise, that the
person is or has been practicing in violation of this Act, may enter a
temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, without bond, enjoining
the defendant from further unlicensed activity. A copy of the verified
complaint shall be served upon the defendant and the proceedings are to be
conducted as in other civil cases. The court may enter a judgment permanently
enjoining a defendant from further unlicensed activity if it is established
that the defendant has been or is practicing in violation of this Act. In case
of violation of any injunctive order or judgment entered under this Section,
the court may summarily try and punish the offender for contempt of court.
Injunctive proceedings are in addition to all penalties and other remedies in
this Act.
