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.

    Sec. 5. Findings; purpose.

(a) The General  Assembly finds: (i) due to advancements in technology, personal information associated with consumers is increasingly collected and stored on motor vehicles that function as collateral in secured loans; (ii) the loss or breach of such personal information can cause consumers financial and personal harm and loss, including, but not limited to, harm and loss associated with identity theft and loss of privacy; (iii) when motor vehicles are repossessed, it is critical that consumers be protected from such harm and loss; and (iv)
  collateral recovery  practices  affect  public health,
safety, and welfare.

(b)   The General Assembly declares that the purpose of this Act
is to: (i) regulate individuals and entities engaged in the business
of collateral recovery for the protection of the public; and (ii) ensure that repossession agencies protect motor vehicle collateral consumers from potential harm and loss associated with personal information that is collected and stored on motor vehicles.
