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.

(20 ILCS 1205/18.5)
Sec. 18.5. Consent orders and settlement agreements.

The Secretary may enter into a consent order or settlement agreement at any time with a regulated person to resolve a matter arising under this Act or any other Act under the jurisdiction of the Division. A consent order or settlement agreement need not constitute an admission by a regulated person that this Act or a rule or order issued or adopted under this Act or any Act under the jurisdiction of the Division has been violated, nor need it constitute a finding by the Secretary that the person has violated this Act or a rule or order adopted under this Act or any Act under the jurisdiction of the Division. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as requiring a regulated person to enter a consent order or settlement agreement with the Secretary.
