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 605/5

(225 ILCS 605/5) (from Ch. 8, par. 305)

Sec. 5.

Applications by individuals for original licenses shall be made to
the Department, shall be in writing on forms prescribed by
the Department and shall be accompanied by the required fee, which shall
not be returnable.  Any such application shall require such information
as in the judgment of the Department will enable the Department to pass
on the qualifications of the applicant for a license.  It shall include,
but need not be limited to information concerning age, citizenship,
present residence, location of the business licensed under this Act,
including the location of all foster homes,
description of facilities to be used, present and previous business
connections and experience, bank and professional references, whether
any license of the applicant under this Act or any federal, state,
county or local law, ordinance or regulation, relating to dealing in or
handling dogs or cats, ever was suspended or revoked and whether the
applicant ever has been convicted of a felony.  Such felony conviction
may be taken into consideration by the Department in determining
qualifications for licensing but shall not operate as a bar to
licensing.
