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.

(205 ILCS 305/49) (from Ch. 17, par. 4450)

Sec. 49. Security.

In addition to generally accepted types of security,
the endorsement of a note by a surety, comaker or guarantor, or assignment
of shares or wages, in a manner consistent with the laws of this State,
shall be deemed security within the meaning of this Act.  A credit union
shall give each surety, guarantor or comaker a copy of the instrument
evidencing the indebtedness.  The adequacy of any security shall be
determined by the credit committee, credit manager or loan officer, subject
to this Act and the bylaws of the credit union. The surety, guarantor or
comaker may, but need not, be a member of the credit union making the loan.
