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.

        (1) An employee of the United States, Illinois, or a
    
political subdivision, including public school districts, while the employee is engaged in the performance of the employee's official duties within the scope of the employee's employment.

        (3) Any member of local law enforcement in the
    
performance of duties for criminal justice purposes, notwithstanding whether the local law enforcement agency charges a reasonable fee related to the cost of offering fingerprinting services.
    (b) The provisions of this Act regarding fingerprint vendors do not apply to any member of a local law enforcement agency, acting on behalf of the local law enforcement agency that is registered with the Illinois State Police to provide fingerprinting services for non-criminal justice purposes, notwithstanding whether the local law enforcement agency charges a reasonable fee related to the cost of offering fingerprinting services.
