Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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. 33-3.1. Solicitation misconduct (State government).
(a) An employee of an

term is defined in Section 9-1.4 of the Election Code, from a person engaged in
a business or activity over which the person has regulatory authority.

an
executive branch constitutional officer" means a full-time or part-time
salaried

employee of any office, board,
commission, agency, department, authority, administrative unit, or corporate
outgrowth under the jurisdiction of an executive branch constitutional officer;
and "regulatory authority" means having the responsibility to investigate,
inspect, license, or enforce regulatory measures necessary to the requirements
of any
State or federal statute or regulation relating to the business or activity.
(c) An employee of an executive branch constitutional officer, including one

branch constitutional officer who does
have regulatory authority to solicit or receive contributions in violation of
this Section.

misdemeanor. An employee of an executive branch constitutional

enforcement of this Section shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make
the employee whole.
(f) Any person who knowingly makes a false report of solicitation
misconduct (State government) to the Illinois State Police, the Attorney General, a
