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.

Sec. 1.4. Providers' license.

The Department shall issue a providers' license permitting a person, firm, or corporation to provide premises for the conduct of bingo.  No person, firm or corporation may rent or otherwise provide premises without having first obtained a license.  Applications for providers' licenses shall be made in writing in accordance with Department rules.  The Department shall license providers of bingo at a nonrefundable annual fee of $200, or a nonrefundable triennial fee of $600.  Each providers' license is valid for one year from date of issuance, or 3 years from date of issuance for a triennial license, unless extended, suspended, or revoked by Department action before that date.  Any extension of a providers' license shall not exceed one year.  A municipality shall not be required to obtain a license to provide such premises.  A provider may receive reasonable expenses for providing premises for conducting bingo.  Reasonable expenses shall include only those expenses defined as reasonable by rules promulgated by the Department.
