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.

becomes available, any entity that installs or operates a private business
switch service and provides telecommunications facilities or services to
businesses shall assure that the system is connected to the public switched
network in a manner that calls to 9-1-1 result in automatic number and location
identification. For buildings having their own street address and containing

the building's street address. For buildings having their own street
address and containing workspace of more than 40,000 square feet, location

location of 9-1-1 calls coming from within the building. Health care
facilities are presumed to meet the requirements of this paragraph if the
facilities are staffed with medical or nursing personnel 24 hours per day and
if an alternative means of providing information about the source of an
emergency call exists. Buildings under this exemption must provide 9-1-1
service that provides the building's street address.
