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.

(410 ILCS 615/10) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 55-10)

Sec. 10. Inspection fee.

The Director shall
set, by
regulation, a per case inspection fee which shall
cover
the administrative and inspection costs of the program required by the
Act.  In no case shall the rate exceed 11¢ per each 30 dozen eggs or
fraction thereof.

The inspection fee as set shall be imposed upon eggs bearing a
designated size and grade sold or offered for sale in Illinois.  The first
handler in Illinois who packed and sold the eggs must pay the prescribed
inspection fee on those eggs. If eggs are shipped into Illinois, the
handler who invoiced the eggs to Illinois must pay the fee. When
the
handler sells the eggs,
the inspection fee shall be charged in addition to the sale price of the eggs
and shall be remitted to the seller by the purchaser.
Each sales
invoice shall indicate the amount of inspection fee for the transaction.
Eggs sold and shipped out of the State of Illinois by Illinois packers
are exempt from the inspection fee.

The inspection fee shall be paid only once on the same quantity
of
eggs so long as those eggs maintain their identity by remaining in
their
original case, carton or package.
All inspection fees shall be paid
into the "Agricultural Master Fund" to the credit of a special account
designated as the "Auxiliary Egg Inspection Fund".   All amounts credited to
the
"Auxiliary Egg Inspection Fund" shall be used for the enforcement of the
provisions of this Act.  The method and manner of collecting the inspection
fee levied, whether it be by the use of stamps, monthly reporting and
collecting from dealers or any other method shall be prescribed by the
Director of Agriculture, pursuant to rules and regulations adopted for
this purpose as authorized under the provisions of this Act.
