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 470/23

(225 ILCS 470/23) (from Ch. 147, par. 123)

Sec. 23.

Commodities in liquid form shall be sold only by liquid measure or
by weight, and, except as otherwise provided in this Act, commodities not
in liquid form shall be sold only by weight, by measure of length or area,
or by count. However, liquid commodities may be sold by weight and
commodities not in liquid form may be sold by count only if such methods
give accurate information as to the quantity of commodity sold.

The provisions of this Section do not apply (1) to commodities sold for
immediate consumption upon the premises where sold, (2) to vegetables sold
by the head or bunch, (3) to commodities in containers standardized by a
law of this State or by Federal law, (4) to commodities in package form
when there exists a general consumer usage to express the quantity in some
other manner, (5) to concrete aggregates, concrete mixtures and loose solid
materials such as earth, soil, gravel, crushed stone and the like, when
sold by cubic measure, or (6) to unprocessed vegetable and animal
fertilizer sold by cubic measure. The Director may issue such reasonable
regulations as are necessary to assure that amounts of commodity sold are
determined in accordance with good commercial practice and are so
determined and represented as to be accurate and informative to all parties
at interest.
