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. 10.

The Department may promulgate and adopt reasonable rules and regulations
to prevent the entry into Illinois of any animals which may be contaminated or infected
with, or which may have been exposed to, any contaminant or contagious or infectious disease.
If the condition so warrants, the Director may request the Governor to issue
a proclamation whereby any animals contaminated or diseased or those exposed to disease
and any carcasses or portions of carcasses, feed, seed, bedding, equipment
or other material capable of conveying contamination or infection will be prohibited from
entering Illinois.
