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.

Each non-resident applicant for an original license or renewal
license, except a foreign corporation, shall file with the Department an
irrevocable consent that actions against the applicant may be filed in any
appropriate court of any county or municipality of this State in which the
plaintiff resides or in which some part of the transaction occurred out of
which the alleged cause of action arose and that process in any action may
be served on the applicant by leaving 2 copies thereof with the Director.
Such consent shall stipulate and agree that such service of process shall
be taken and held to be valid and binding for all purposes. The Director
shall send forthwith one copy of such process to the applicant at the

foreign corporation shall receive a license under this Act until it has
