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.

(b) The license issued by the Department to a grain dealer
shall be posted in the principal office of the licensee in this
State. A certificate shall be posted in each location where the
licensee engages in business as a grain dealer. In the case of a
licensee operating a truck or tractor trailer unit for the purpose
of purchasing grain, the licensee shall have a certificate
carried in each truck or tractor trailer unit used in connection
with the licensee's grain dealer business.
(c) The licensee must have at all times sufficient financial
resources to pay producers on demand for grain purchased from them.
(d) A licensee that is solely a grain dealer shall on a daily basis
maintain an accurate and current daily grain transaction
report.
(e) A licensee that is both a grain dealer and a
warehouseman shall at all times maintain an accurate and current
daily position record.
(f) In the case of a change of ownership of a grain dealer, the obligations
of a grain dealer do not cease until the grain dealer has surrendered all
unused price later contracts to the
Department and the successor has executed a successor's agreement that is
acceptable to the Department, or the
successor has
otherwise provided for the grain obligations of its predecessor in a manner
that is acceptable to the Department.
(g) If a grain dealer proposes to cease doing business as a grain dealer and
there is no successor, it is the duty of the grain dealer to surrender all
unused price later contracts to the Department, together with an affidavit
accounting for all grain dealer obligations setting forth the arrangements made
with producers for final disposition of the grain dealer obligations and
indicating the procedure for payment in full of all outstanding grain
obligations.
It is the duty of the Department to give notice by publication that a grain
dealer has ceased doing business without a successor. After payment in full
of all outstanding grain obligations, it is the duty of the
grain dealer to surrender its license.
