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.

(505 ILCS 120/40) (from Ch. 5, par. 2801-40)

Sec. 40.

Stop sale; use or removal order.

(a) Whenever the Director has reason to believe a soil amendment is
being distributed in violation of this Act or its rules, he or she may
issue and serve a written order to stop sale, stop use, or regulate removal
upon an owner, operator, manager, or agent in charge of the soil amendment.

(b) The Director shall provide the registrant, if different from the
person served under subsection (a), with a copy of any order when corrective
action appears to be the responsibility of the registrant.

(c) If an owner, operator, manager, or agent is not available for service
of an order upon him or her, the Director shall attach the order to the soil
amendment product and notify the registrant.

(d) The Director shall remove or vacate an order by written notice when
the violated provisions of this Act or its rules have been complied with,
the conditions specified have been met, or the violation has been otherwise
disposed of by either administrative  or judicial action.

(e) When the Director has reason to believe that a soil amendment being
distributed in this State may be injurious to plants, animals, or man when
used in accordance with label directions, he or she may issue an order to
remove the soil amendment from the State and establish requirements to
effect the expeditious removal of the soil amendment without adverse
effects to man or the environment.
