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.
10 ILCS 5/9-23 (10 ILCS 5/9-23) (from Ch. 46, par. 9-23)
Sec. 9-23. Whenever the Board, pursuant to Section 9-21,
has issued an order, or has approved a written stipulation, agreed settlement
or consent order, directing a person determined by the Board to be in
violation of any provision of this Article or any regulation
adopted thereunder, to cease or correct such violation or otherwise comply
with this Article and such person fails or refuses to comply
with such order, stipulation, settlement or consent order within the
time specified by the Board, the Board, after affording notice and an
opportunity for a public hearing, may impose a civil penalty on such person
in an amount not to exceed $5,000; except that for State officers and
candidates and political
committees formed for statewide office, the civil
penalty may not exceed $10,000. For the purpose of this Section, "statewide
office" and "State officer"
means the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary
of State,
Comptroller, and Treasurer.
Civil penalties imposed on any such person by the Board shall be enforceable
in the Circuit Court. The Board shall petition the Court for an order to
enforce collection of the penalty and, if the Court finds it has jurisdiction
over the person against whom the penalty was imposed, the Court shall issue
the appropriate order. Any civil penalties collected by the Court shall
be forwarded to the State Treasurer.
In addition to or in lieu of the imposition of a civil penalty, the board
may report such violation and the failure or refusal to comply with the
order of the Board to the Attorney General and the appropriate State's
Attorney.
