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.

225 ILCS 407/5-5

(225 ILCS 407/5-5)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)

Sec. 5-5.

Legislative intent.

The General Assembly finds that Illinois
does not have the
ability, without legislation, to enter into reciprocal agreements with other
states to allow residents
of Illinois to practice auctioneering in other states.  This body further finds
that, without legislation,
Illinois does not have the ability to evaluate the competency of persons
engaged in the auction
business or to regulate this business for the protection of the public.
Therefore, it is the purpose of
this Act to license and regulate auctioneers.
