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.

Sec. 6.

Any person required to investigate cases of suspected child
abuse or neglect may take or cause to be taken, at Department expense,
color photographs and x-rays of the child who is the subject of a report,
and color photographs of the physical environment in which the alleged
abuse or neglect has taken place.  The person seeking to take such
photographs or x-rays shall make every reasonable effort to notify the
person responsible for the child's welfare.
