Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
510 ILCS 20/2c
(510 ILCS 20/2c) (from Ch. 8, par. 124c)
Sec. 2c.
Upon a finding that there exist in this State, or
in any other state, territory, district, province or country bee diseases, bee
parasites, or exotic strains of bees, the Director may impose and enforce a
quarantine restricting the transportation of bees, colonies, or items of used
bee equipment capable of carrying bee diseases, bee parasites or exotic
strains of bees into, within or throughout the State. In carrying out the
provisions of this Section or any quarantine, the Director may, at the expense
of the owner, when an infestation, infection or nuisance is located, seize or
abate bees, colonies, or items of used bee equipment.
When the Director finds that there exist in any other state,
territory, district, province or country bee diseases, bee parasites or exotic
strains of bees, with respect to which the United States Secretary of
Agriculture has not established a quarantine, and that the bee diseases, bee
parasites or exotic strains of bees coming therefrom into this State are likely
to convey such diseases, infestations or nuisances, the Director shall report
such fact to the Governor. The Governor may thereupon, by proclamation,
prohibit the transportation into this State of such bees, colonies, or items of
used bee equipment except under such regulations as may be prescribed by the
Department.
