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.

(725 ILCS 5/108A-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 108A-5)

Sec. 108A-5.

Orders Authorizing Use of an Eavesdropping Device.

(a) Each order authorizing or approving the use of an
eavesdropping device shall specify:

(1) the identity of the person who has consented to

the use of the device to monitor any of his conversations and a requirement that any conversation overheard or received must include this person;

(2) the identity of the other person or persons, if

known, who will participate in the conversation;

(3) the period of time in which the use of the device

is authorized, including a statement as to whether or not the use shall automatically terminate when the described conversations have been first obtained.

(b) No order entered under this section may authorize
or approve the use of any eavesdropping device for any period longer than
30 days.  An
initial or a subsequent extension, in no case for more than
30 days each, of an order may be granted but only upon
application made in accordance with Section 108A-3 and where
the court makes the findings required in Section 108A-4.
