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.

the Department as contagious or infectious under rules pertaining to this Act.

"Animals" means domestic animals, poultry, and wild animals in captivity.
"Exposed to" means for an animal to come in contact with another animal or

has been tested negative for the specific disease or there is no evidence that
the animal is contagious, except for animals exposed to Johne's disease.
Animals originating from a herd where Johne's disease has been diagnosed will
be considered no longer "exposed to" with a negative test. The negative test
must have been conducted within 30 days prior to the sale or movement.
"Swap meet" means an organized event where animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, or other animals customarily obtained as pets, are sold, traded, or exchange hands.
