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.

Sec. 27.

Periods of limitation.

No action shall be maintained under Section
26 of this Act to enforce any liability created by this Act unless brought
before the expiration of 3 years after the act or transaction constituting
the violation upon which it is based, the expiration of one year after the
franchisee becomes aware of facts or circumstances reasonably indicating
that he may have a claim for relief in respect to conduct governed by this
Act, or 90 days after delivery to the franchisee of a written notice
disclosing the violation, whichever shall first expire.  No cause of action
barred under existing law on the effective date of this Act shall be
revived by this Act.  Every cause of action under this Act survives the
death of any person who might have been a plaintiff or defendant.
