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.
(230 ILCS 25/1) (from Ch. 120, par. 1101)
Sec. 1. The Department of Revenue shall, upon application therefor on
forms prescribed by the Department, and upon the payment of a nonrefundable
annual fee
of $200, and
upon a determination by the
Department that the applicant meets
all of the qualifications specified in this Act, issue a bingo license for
the conducting of bingo to any of the following: any bona fide religious, charitable, labor,
fraternal, youth athletic, senior citizen, educational or veterans'
organization organized in Illinois which operates without profit to its
members, which has been in existence in Illinois continuously for a period
of 5 years immediately before making application for a license and which
has had during that entire 5 year period a bona fide membership engaged in
carrying out its objects. However, the 5 year requirement shall be
reduced to 2 years, as applied to a local organization which is affiliated
with and chartered by a national organization which meets the 5 year
requirement.
Each
license shall be
in effect for one year from its date of issuance unless extended, suspended, or revoked
by Department action before that date. The Department may provide by rule for an extension of any bingo license issued under this Act. Any extension provided shall not exceed one year. A licensee may hold only one license to conduct bingo and that license is valid for only one location. The Department may authorize by rule the filing by electronic means of any application, license, permit, return, or registration required under this Act. All taxes and fees imposed by this Act, unless otherwise specified, shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury.
