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 205/13

(820 ILCS 205/13) (from Ch. 48, par. 31.13)

Sec. 13.

Every employer, during the period of employment of a minor under 16
years of age, shall keep on file at the place of employment an employment
certificate issued for such minor. Any employer, upon termination of the
employment of such minor, shall immediately return the certificate issued
to the issuing officer. An employment certificate shall be valid only for
the employer for whom issued, and a new certificate shall not be issued for
the employment of a minor under 16 years of age except on the presentation
of a new statement of intention to employ. The failure of any employer to
produce for inspection such employment certificate for each minor in his
establishment shall be prima facie evidence that the minor is employed
without a certificate.
