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.

the name of the licensee, the location for which the license is issued,

information as the Department requires.  The original license or a
certified copy of it shall be conspicuously displayed by the licensee in
the establishment.

(d) Failure to meet all of the conditions to retain a license may result

administrative hearing to dispute the denial of renewal, after which the
Director shall enter an order either renewing or refusing to renew the license.
