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 725/6.1

(225 ILCS 725/6.1) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 5410)

Sec. 6.1.

When the applicant has complied with all applicable
provisions of this Act and the rules of the Department, the Department
shall issue the permit. All applications for a permit submitted to the Department shall either be granted, denied, or a deficiency letter issued in writing within 20 business days after the date of receipt by the Department, unless the applicant and Department mutually agree to extend the 20-day period.  If granted, the written permit shall be issued.  If a deficiency letter is issued, the Department shall provide specific requirements for additional information or documentation needed for the application to be considered and the permit issued. Upon submission of the required information and documentation, the same process and timeframe as provided in this Section shall continue until either the permit is issued or it is determined that the permit cannot be issued because of legal or regulatory impediments. The Department shall respond in a timely manner to any application or submission of additional information and documentation after initial submission.
