Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
20 ILCS 2610/16 (20 ILCS 2610/16) (from Ch. 121, par. 307.16) Sec. 16. State policemen shall enforce the provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code and Article 9 of the Illinois Highway Code and shall patrol the public highways and rural districts to make arrests for violations of the provisions of such Acts. They are conservators of the peace and as such have all powers possessed by policemen in cities, and sheriffs, except that they may exercise such powers anywhere in this State. The State policemen shall cooperate with the police of cities, villages, and incorporated towns, and with the police officers of any county, in enforcing the laws of the State and in making arrests and recovering property. They may be equipped with standardized and tested devices for weighing motor vehicles and may stop and weigh, acting reasonably, or cause to be weighed, any motor vehicle which appears to weigh in excess of the weight permitted by law. It shall also be the duty of the Illinois State Police to determine, whenever possible, the person or persons or the causes responsible for the breaking or destruction of any improved hard-surfaced roadway and to arrest all persons criminally responsible for such breaking or destruction and bring them before the proper officer for trial. The Illinois State Police shall divide the State into zones, troops, or regions and assign each zone, troop, or region to one or more policemen. No person employed under this Act, however, shall serve or execute civil process, except for process issued under the authority of the General Assembly, or a committee or commission thereof vested with subpoena powers when the county sheriff refuses or fails to serve such process, and except for process allowed by statute or issued under the authority of the Illinois Department of Revenue.(Source: P.A. 102-538, eff. 8-20-21; 103-34, eff. 6-9-23; 103-605, eff. 7-1-24.) |
