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 430/4

(225 ILCS 430/4) (from Ch. 111, par. 2404)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)

Sec. 4.

Registration or license required; exceptions.

(a) It is unlawful for any person to administer detection of
deception examinations, or attempt to hold himself or herself out as an Examiner,
unless registered or licensed by the Department.  However, this shall not
prohibit the use of detection of deception equipment by a person licensed
to practice medicine in all its branches under the Medical Practice Act of
1987 when the results are to be used in research.

(b) Nothing in this Act prohibits the use of a voice stress analyzer
by
any
fully trained full time certified law enforcement officer of a law enforcement
agency in the course of its
duties as an investigative aid in a criminal investigation.
Law enforcement users of a voice stress analyzer shall
be trained in a manner approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
Standards Board. The use of a voice stress analyzer shall be conducted only
with the prior written consent of the subject of such investigation.
Surreptitious use of a voice stress analyzer is prohibited.  Use of a voice
stress analyzer is prohibited when a State or
local law enforcement officer stops a motorist for an alleged violation of the
Illinois Vehicle Code. A voice stress analyzer is prohibited for use in
pre-employment screening and for internal investigations.  For the purposes of
this subsection (b), "voice stress
analyzer" means an investigative tool that
records voice stress factors related to frequency modulations in the human
voice.
