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 1605/7.8a) (from Ch. 120, par. 1157.8a)

Sec. 7.8a.

The Board shall establish advertising policy to ensure that
advertising content and practices do not target with the intent to exploit specific groups
or economic classes of people, and that its content is accurate and not
misleading.  The Board shall review, at least quarterly, all past
advertising for major media campaigns to ensure that
they do not target with the intent to exploit specific groups or economic classes of
people, and that their content is accurate and not misleading. If the Board
finds that advertising conflicts with such policy, it shall have the
authority to direct the Department to cease that advertising. The Director or his or her  designee shall provide a briefing on proposed major media campaigns at any regularly scheduled meeting upon written request from any Board member. Such written request must be received by the Director at least 10 days prior to the regularly scheduled meeting.
