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 447/25-15)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2029)
Sec. 25-15. Qualifications for licensure as a private
security contractor agency. (a) Upon receipt of the required fee and proof that the
applicant has a full-time Illinois licensed private security
licensee-in-charge, which is a continuing requirement for
agency licensure, the Department shall issue
a license as a private security contractor agency
to any of the following:
(1) An individual who submits an application and is a |
| licensed private security contractor under this Act.
|
|
(2) A firm that submits an application and all of the
|
| members of the firm are licensed private security contractors under this Act.
|
|
(3) A corporation or limited liability company doing
|
| business in Illinois that is authorized to engage in the business of conducting a private security contractor agency if at least one officer or executive employee is licensed as a private security contractor under this Act and all unlicensed officers and directors of the corporation or limited liability company are determined by the Department to be persons of good moral character.

(b) No private security contractor may be the licensee-in-charge for more than one
private security contractor agency. Upon written request by a
representative of the agency, within 10 days after the loss of
a licensee-in-charge of an agency
because of the death of that individual or because of the
termination of the employment of that individual, the
Department shall issue a temporary certificate of authority
allowing the continuing operation of the licensed agency. No
temporary certificate of authority shall be valid for more
than 90 days. An extension of an additional 90 days may be
granted upon written request by the representative of the
agency. Not more than 2 extensions may be granted to any
agency. No temporary permit shall be issued for loss of the
licensee-in-charge because of disciplinary action by the
Department related to the licensee-in-charge's conduct on behalf of the
agency.
(c) Upon issuance of the temporary certificate of authority as provided for in subsection (b) of this Section and at any time thereafter while the temporary certificate of authority is in effect, the Department may request in writing additional information from the agency regarding the loss of its licensee-in-charge, the selection of a new licensee-in-charge, and the management of the agency. Failure of the agency to respond or respond to the satisfaction of the
Department shall cause the Department to deny any extension
of the temporary certificate of authority. While the
temporary certificate of authority is in effect, the
Department may disapprove the selection of a new licensee-in-charge
by the agency if the person's license is not operative
or the Department has good cause to believe that the person
selected will not fully exercise the responsibilities of a
licensee-in-charge. If the Department has disapproved the
selection of a new licensee-in-charge and the temporary
certificate of authority expires or is about to expire
without the agency selecting another new licensee-in-charge,
the Department shall grant an extension of the temporary
certificate of authority for an additional 90 days, except as
otherwise prohibited in subsection (b) or this subsection (c).
