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.

(510 ILCS 50/6) (from Ch. 8, par. 173)

Sec. 6.

Whenever quarantine is established in accordance with the
provisions of this Act, notice shall be given by delivery in person or by
mailing by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the owner or
occupant of any premises so quarantined. Such notice shall be written or
printed, or partly written and partly printed, with an explanation of the
contents thereof. Such quarantine shall be sufficiently proved in any court
by the production of a true copy of such notice of quarantine together with
an affidavit, sworn to by the officer or employee of the Department who
delivered or mailed such notice, containing a statement that the original
thereof was delivered or mailed in the manner herein prescribed.

Every quarantine so established shall remain in effect until removed by
order of the Department. Any person aggrieved by any quarantine may appeal
to the Department which shall thereupon sustain, modify or annul the
quarantine as it may deem proper. Quarantines will be removed when epidemiological evidence indicates that the disease or contamination threat to humans or other animals no longer exists.
