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.
225 ILCS 460/5
(225 ILCS 460/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 5105)
Sec. 5. Any charitable organization, trustee, person, professional fund
raiser or professional solicitor, which or who solicits, receives, or collects contributions in
this State, but does not maintain an office within the State or cannot be
located within the State shall be subject to service of process, as follows:
(a) By service thereof on its registered agent within the State, or if
there be no such registered agent, then upon the person who has been
designated in the registration statement as having custody of books and
records within this State; where service is effected upon the person so
designated in the registration statement a copy of the process shall, in
addition, be mailed to the registrant's last known address;
(b) When any corporate person has solicited, received, or collected contributions in this
State, but maintains no office within the State, has no registered agent
within the State, and no designated person having custody of its books and
records within the State, or when a registered agent or person having
custody of its books and records within the State cannot be found as shown
by the return of the sheriff of the county in which such registered agent
or person having custody of books and records has been represented by the
charitable organization or person as maintaining an office, service may be
made by delivering to and leaving with the Secretary of State, or with any
deputy or clerk in the corporation department of his office, three copies thereof;
(c) Following service upon the Secretary of State the provisions of law
relating to service of process on foreign corporations shall thereafter govern;
(d) Long arm service in accordance with law;
(e) The solicitation, receipt, or collection of any contribution within this State by any
charitable organization or any person shall be deemed to be their agreement
that any process against it or him which is so served in accordance with
the provisions of this Section shall be of the same legal force and effect
as if served personally within this State and that the courts of this State
shall have personal jurisdiction over such organizations, persons and trustees;
(f) Venue over persons required to be registered under this Act shall be
proper in any county where the Attorney General accepts and maintains the list
of registrations. In furtherance of judicial economy, actions filed for
violation of this Act may name multiple trustees, trusts, and organizations in
a
single or joint action where those joined have each engaged in similar conduct
in violation of this Act or where similar relief is sought against those
defendants for violation of this Act.
