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.

820 ILCS 130/10

(820 ILCS 130/10) (from Ch. 48, par. 39s-10)

Sec. 10.

The Director of the Department of Labor, or his or
her authorized representative may interview workers, administer oaths, take
or cause to be taken
the depositions of witnesses, and require by subpoena the attendance and
testimony of witnesses, and the production of all books, records, and other
evidence relative to the matter under investigation or hearing. Such
subpoena shall be signed and issued by the Director or his or her authorized
representative.

Upon request by the Director of Labor or his or her deputies or agents,
records shall be copied and submitted for evidence at no cost to the
Department of Labor. Every employer upon request shall furnish to the
Director or his or her authorized representative, on demand, a sworn statement
of the accuracy of the records. Any employer who refuses to furnish a sworn
statement of the records is in violation of this Act.

In case of failure of any person to comply with any subpoena lawfully
issued under this Section or on the refusal of any witness to produce
evidence or to testify to any matter regarding which he or she may be
lawfully interrogated, it is the duty of any circuit court, upon
application of the Director or his or her authorized representative, to compel obedience by
proceedings for contempt, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of
a subpoena issued by such court or a refusal to testify therein. The Director may certify to official acts.
