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. 55. Retention of records.

All records required under this Act shall be retained in physical or electronic format and on or off the recipient's premises for a period of 6 years. Donors or recipients may contract with one another or a third party to create or maintain records on each other's behalf. An identifier, such as a serial number or bar code, may be used in place of any or all information required by a record or label pursuant to this Act if it allows for such information to be readily retrievable.  Upon request by a State or federal regulatory agency, the identifier used for requested records shall be replaced with the original information. An identifier shall not be used on patient labels when dispensing or administering a drug.
