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.

625 ILCS 25/7

(625 ILCS 25/7) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 1107)

Sec. 7. Arrests - Prosecutions.

The Illinois State Police shall patrol the public
highways and make arrests for a violation of this Act. Police officers shall
make arrests for violations of this Act occurring upon the highway within
the limits of a county, city, village, or unincorporated town or park district.

The State's Attorney of the county in which the violation of this Act occurs
shall prosecute all violations except when the violation occurs within the
corporate limits of a municipality, the municipal attorney may prosecute if
written permission to do so is obtained from the State's Attorney.

The provisions of this Act shall not apply to a child passenger with a
physical disability of such a nature as to prevent appropriate
restraint in a seat, provided that the disability is duly
certified by a physician who shall state the nature of the disability, as well
as the reason the restraint is inappropriate.  No physician shall be liable,
and no cause of action may be brought for personal injuries resulting from the
exercise of good faith judgment in making certifications under this provision.
