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.

Sec. 15.

Registration.

(a) On and after July 1, 1992, each separately identified soil amendment
shall be registered with the Director before being distributed in this
State. Application for registration shall be submitted on forms furnished
or approved by the Department and shall be accompanied by a fee of $250 per
product. A registration shall expire on December 31 of the year it is issued.

(b) The registrant shall submit to the Director at the time of
application for registration a copy of the label and any advertising
literature for the soil amendment.  Upon approval by the Director, the
registrant shall be furnished a certified copy of the registration.

Before registering any soil amendment, the Director shall require
evidence to substantiate the claims made for the soil amendment and proof
of the value and usefulness of the soil amendment ingredient.

(c) The Director may, by rule, set the minimum amount of a soil
amendment ingredient and soil amendment ingredients that must be present
before a soil amendment product can be registered and distributed in this
State.

(d) A distributor shall not be required to register a soil amendment
product that is already registered under this Act if the label does not
differ in any respect.

(e) If an application for renewal of registration for a soil amendment
is not received within 30 days after the registration expiration date and
the soil amendment product is found to be distributed in the State, a
penalty of a $100 per product shall be assessed and added to the original
fee and shall be paid before registration will be granted.
