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 705/7.04) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 704)

Sec. 7.04.

The Mining Board may grant a permit to operate a second motion
engine, or internal combustion engine, at any mine employing not more than
10 men, to any person recommended to the Mining Board by the State Mine
Inspector of the district. The applicant for such permit shall have filed
with the Mining Board satisfactory evidence that he is a citizen of the
United States or lawfully admitted for permanent residence, that he has had at least one year of experience in operating
a steam engine, steam boiler, or internal combustion engine and understands
the handling and care of the same. Such application shall be accompanied by
a statement from at least three persons who will testify from their
personal knowledge of the applicant that he is a man of good repute and
personal habits, and that he has, in their judgment, a knowledge of and
experience in handling boilers and engines as required in this section.
Such permit shall apply only to the mine for which it was issued, and for a
period not to exceed one year, except such permit, when it expires, may be
renewed by the Mining Board from year to year if the person holding same
requests renewal, and certifies by sworn statement that all the
circumstances and conditions are the same as when said permit was
originally issued.
