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 175/55)
Sec. 55. Enforcement. It shall be the duty of the Department to enforce
the
provisions
of this Act. The Department shall have the power to conduct investigations in
connection with
the administration and enforcement of this Act and any investigator with the
Department shall be
authorized to visit and inspect, at all reasonable times, any places covered by
this Act and shall be authorized to inspect, at all reasonable times,
contracts for the employment of all day or temporary laborers entered into by
a third party client if the Department has received a
complaint indicating that the third party client may have contracted with a
day and
temporary labor service agency that is not registered under this Act.
The
Department shall conduct hearings in accordance with the Illinois
Administrative Procedure Act
upon written complaint by an investigator of the Department or any
interested
person of a violation of the Act. After the hearing, if supported by the
evidence, the
Department may (i) issue and cause to be served on any party an order to cease
and desist
from further violation of the Act, (ii) take affirmative or other action as
deemed reasonable
to eliminate the effect of the violation, (iii) deny, suspend, or revoke any
registration under
this Act, and (iv) determine the amount of any civil penalty allowed by the
Act. The Director of
Labor or his or her representative may compel, by subpoena, the attendance and
testimony of
witnesses and the production of books, payrolls, records, papers, and other
evidence in any
investigation or hearing and may administer oaths to witnesses. Nothing in
this Act applies to labor or employment of a clerical or professional nature.
