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 50/9) (from Ch. 8, par. 176)
Sec. 9. The Department may promulgate and adopt reasonable rules and regulations
to prevent the spread of any contamination or contagious or infectious disease within this
State. If the condition so warrants, the Director may request the Governor
to issue a proclamation quarantining an affected municipality or geographical
district whereby all animals of the kind diseased or contaminated would not be permitted
to be moved from one premises to another within the municipality or geographical
district,
or over any public highway, or any unfenced lot or piece of ground, or from
being brought into, or taken from the infected or contaminated municipality or geographical
district, except by a special permit, signed by the Director. Any such proclamation
shall, from
the time of its publication, bind all persons. Within one week after the
publication of any such proclamation, every person who owns, or who is in
charge of animals of the kind diseased or contaminated
within the municipality or geographical district, shall report to the
Department the number and description of such animals, their location,
and the name and address of the owner or person in charge, and during
the continuance of the quarantine to report to the Department all cases
of sickness, deaths or births among such animals.
If the condition so warrants, the Director may declare a temporary prohibition on the sale, movement, or exhibition of certain types of animals in order to prevent or reduce the spread of any contamination or disease in this State. The declaration shall be for a period not to exceed 30 days, but the declaration may be extended in increments not to exceed 30 days if the condition so warrants. (Source: P.A. 103-176, eff. 1-1-24.)
