(625 ILCS 45/3C-2) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 313C-2)
Sec. 3C-2. Notification to law
enforcement agencies. When an abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed
watercraft comes into the temporary possession or custody of a person in
this State, not the owner of the watercraft, such person shall immediately
notify the municipal police when the watercraft is within the corporate
limits of any city, village or town having a duly authorized police
department, or the Illinois State Police, Conservation Police or the county sheriff
when the watercraft is outside the corporate limits of a city, village or
town. Upon receipt of such notification, the municipal police, State
Police, Conservation Police, or county sheriff will authorize a towing
service to remove and take possession of the abandoned, lost, stolen or
unclaimed watercraft. The towing service will safely keep the towed
watercraft and its contents, and maintain a record of the tow as set forth in
Section 3C-4 for law enforcement agencies, until the watercraft is claimed
by the owner or any other person legally entitled to possession thereof or
until it is disposed of as provided in this Article.
