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.
(220 ILCS 50/7) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1607)
Sec. 7. Damage or dislocation. In the event of any damage to or
dislocation of any underground
utility facilities in connection with any excavation or
demolition, emergency or nonemergency, the person responsible for the
excavation or demolition operations shall immediately notify the affected
utility and the State-Wide One-Call Notice System and cease excavation in the area of the damage when the damaged facility is a threat to life or property or if otherwise required by law or, in the case of damage
or dislocation in connection with any excavation or demolition within the
boundaries of a municipality having a population of at least 1,000,000
inhabitants that operates its
own one-call notice system, notify the affected utility and the one-call
notice system that operates in that municipality. The person responsible for the excavation or demolition shall not attempt to repair, clamp, or constrict the damaged utility facility unless under the supervision or advisement of the utility facility owner or operator. At no time shall a person under this Act be required by a utility facility owner or operator to attempt to repair, clamp, or constrict a damaged utility facility. In the event of any damage to any underground utility facility that results in the escape of any flammable, toxic, or corrosive gas or liquid, the person responsible for the excavation or demolition shall call 9-1-1 and notify authorities of the damage. Owners and operators of
underground utility facilities that are damaged and the excavator involved
shall work in a cooperative and expeditious manner to repair the affected
utility.
