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.

(225 ILCS 470/20) (from Ch. 147, par. 120)

Sec. 20.

The common or legislative council of each city for which a sealer
has been appointed pursuant to Section 17 of this Act shall (1) procure
at the expense of the city such standards of weight and measure and such
additional equipment, to be used for the enforcement of the provisions of
this Act in such city, as may be prescribed by the Director, (2) provide a
suitable office for the sealer, and (3) make provision for the necessary
clerical services, supplies and transportation and for defraying contingent
expenses incident to the official activities of the sealer in carrying out
the provisions of this Act. When the standards of weight and measure thus
required to be provided by a city have been examined and approved by the
Director, they shall be the official standards for such city. The sealer
shall make or cause to be made at least annual comparisons between his
field standards and appropriate standards of a higher order belonging to
his city or to the State, in order to maintain such field standards in
accurate condition.
