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.

420 ILCS 15/2

(420 ILCS 15/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 230.22)

Sec. 2.

No person may dispose of, store, or accept any spent nuclear
fuel which was used in any power generating facility located outside this
State, or transport into this State for disposal or storage any spent nuclear
fuel which was used in any power generating facility located outside this
State, unless the state of origin of such spent nuclear fuel has a facility,
which is not part of a power generating facility, for the disposal or storage
of spent nuclear fuel substantially like that of this State and has entered
into a reciprocity agreement with this State.  The determination as to whether
the state of origin has a disposal or storage facility for spent nuclear
fuel substantially like that of this State is to be made by the Director
of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and
all reciprocity agreements must be approved by a majority of the members
of both Houses of the General Assembly and approved and signed by the Governor.
