Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    (810 ILCS 5/8-106) (from Ch. 26, par. 8-106)
    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-1036)
    Sec. 8-106. Control.
    (a) A purchaser has "control" of a certificated security in bearer form if the certificated security is delivered to the purchaser.
    (b) A purchaser has "control" of a certificated security in registered form if the certificated security is delivered to the purchaser, and:
        (1) the certificate is indorsed to the purchaser or
    
in blank by an effective indorsement; or
        (2) the certificate is registered in the name of the
    
purchaser, upon original issue or registration of transfer by the issuer.
    (c) A purchaser has "control" of an uncertificated security if:
        (1) the uncertificated security is delivered to the
    
purchaser; or
        (2) the issuer has agreed that it will comply with
    
instructions originated by the purchaser without further consent by the registered owner.
    (d) A purchaser has "control" of a security entitlement if:
        (1) the purchaser becomes the entitlement holder;
        (2) the securities intermediary has agreed that it
    
will comply with entitlement orders originated by the purchaser without further consent by the entitlement holder; or
        (3) another person has control of the security
    
entitlement on behalf of the purchaser or, having previously acquired control of the security entitlement, acknowledges that it has control on behalf of the purchaser.
    (e) If an interest in a security entitlement is granted by the entitlement holder to the entitlement holder's own securities intermediary, the securities intermediary has control.
    (f) A purchaser who has satisfied the requirements of subsection (c) or (d) has control even if the registered owner in the case of subsection (c) or the entitlement holder in the case of subsection (d) retains the right to make substitutions for the uncertificated security or security entitlement, to originate instructions or entitlement orders to the issuer or securities intermediary, or otherwise to deal with the uncertificated security or security entitlement.
    (g) An issuer or a securities intermediary may not enter into an agreement of the kind described in subsection (c)(2) or (d)(2) without the consent of the registered owner or entitlement holder, but an issuer or a securities intermediary is not required to enter into such an agreement even though the registered owner or entitlement holder so directs. An issuer or securities intermediary that has entered into such an agreement is not required to confirm the existence of the agreement to another party unless requested to do so by the registered owner or entitlement holder.
