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.

230 ILCS 5/23

(230 ILCS 5/23) (from Ch. 8, par. 37-23)

Sec. 23.

(a) The Board shall promulgate as part of its rules and
regulations a set of minimum standards (including, but not limited to,
a workers' compensation plan) to be observed by race tracks.

(b) The failure of a person who has been
awarded racing
dates to observe the minimum standards to be promulgated by the Board
under subsection (a) of this Section shall result in the mandatory
suspension of the organization license of that person by the Board.  The
suspended
organization license of the person shall not be reinstated
until
the minimum standards are observed.  Those persons and
tracks
which apply for dates shall not be granted organization licenses if they
are not in observance of the minimum standards to be promulgated by the
Board under subsection (a) of this Section.

The Board may refuse to issue or may suspend the organization license
of any person who fails to file a return, or to pay
the
tax,
penalty or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment
of tax, penalty or interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of any
such tax Act are satisfied.

(c) The Board shall consider the operational needs of the Illinois State
Fair and the DuQuoin State Fair as this Section applies to the Illinois
Department of Agriculture.  In considering the operational needs of the
Illinois Department of Agriculture, the Board may waive any rule or portion
of a rule when the physical structure, improvement cost or other use of the
facilities prohibits compliance within this Act or the Board's rules.
