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.
35 ILCS 5/914
(35 ILCS 5/914) (from Ch. 120, par. 9-914)
Sec. 914. Conduct of Investigations and Hearings. For the purpose of administering and enforcing the provisions of this
Act, the Department, or any officer or employee of the Department
designated, in writing, by the Director may hold investigations and
hearings concerning any matters covered by this Act that are not otherwise delegated to the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, and may examine any
books, papers, records or memoranda bearing upon such matters, and may
require the attendance of any person, or any officer or employee of such
person, having knowledge of such matters, and may take testimony and
require proof for its information. In the conduct of any investigation or
hearing, neither the Department nor any officer or employee thereof shall
be bound by the technical rules of evidence, and no informality in any
proceeding, or in the manner of taking testimony, shall invalidate any
order, decision, rule or regulation made or approved or confirmed by the
Department. The Director, or any officer or employee of the Department
authorized by the Director shall have power to administer oaths to such
persons. The books, papers, records and memoranda of the Department, or
parts thereof, may be proved in any hearing, investigation, or legal
proceeding by a reproduced copy thereof
or by a computer print-out of Department records,
under the certificate of the Director.
If reproduced copies of the Department's books, papers, records or
memoranda are offered as proof, the Director must certify that those copies
are true and exact copies of such records on file with the Department. If
computer print-outs of records of the Department are offered as proof, the
Director must certify that those computer print-outs are true and exact
representations of records properly entered into standard electronic
computing equipment, in the regular course of the Department's business, at
or reasonably near the time of the occurrence of the facts recorded, from
trustworthy and reliable information.
Such reproduced copy shall, without further proof, be admitted
into evidence before the Department or in any legal proceeding.
