(515 ILCS 5/20-60) (from Ch. 56, par. 20-60)
Sec. 20-60.
Reciprocal fishing agreements.
The Department of Natural
Resources may in its discretion enter into reciprocal
fishing agreements
with the States of Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Indiana to
permit persons licensed or legally exempt from licenses by those states to
fish in any of the waters forming a boundary between those states and the
State of Illinois and lying within the territorial jurisdiction of this
State in the same manner and to the same extent that persons holding or
legally exempt from Illinois licenses may do if the laws of Missouri, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Indiana, respectively, extend a similar privilege
to persons licensed or legally exempt under the laws of this State. Such an
agreement shall be made subject, however, to the duties, responsibilities,
and liabilities imposed on its own licensees by the terms of this Code and
the laws of this State and shall be further subject to revocation at any
time whenever revocation shall be deemed necessary in the discretion of the
Department of Natural Resources of this State.
