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. 7. The Illinois Forestry Development Fund, a special fund in the State
Treasury, is hereby created. The Department of Natural Resources shall pay into the Fund all fees and fines collected
from timber buyers and landowners and operators pursuant to the "Timber
Buyers Licensing Act", and the "Forest
Products Transportation Act", all gifts, contributions, bequests, grants,
donations, transfers, appropriations and all other revenues and receipts
resulting from forestry programs, forest product sales, and operations of
facilities not otherwise directed by State law and shall, except for the additional moneys deposited under Section 805-550 of the Department of Natural Resources (Conservation) Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois, pay

Ordinary operating expenses of the Forest Resources Division of the

development and implementation of a wood industry marketing, development
and promotions program and other programs beneficial to advancing forests
and forestry in this State, as deemed appropriate by the General Assembly,
may be appropriated from this fund to the extent such appropriations
preserve the receipts to the Fund derived from Section 9a of the "Timber
Buyers Licensing Act".
