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. 5.11.

Units of local government; hazard signage systems.

(a) A unit of local government may adopt ordinances or regulations
requiring a hazard signage system applicable to equipment, facilities,
structures, or locations involved in the use, storage, or manufacture of
hazardous materials.  The hazard signage system (such as, but not limited
to, the National Fire Protection Association standard "NFPA 704"
system as
specified in its Standard System for the Identification of the Fire Hazards of
Materials for Emergency Response) shall be consistent with any such
signage required by federal law or regulation.

(b) An ordinance or regulation adopted by a unit of local government
under this Section requiring a hazard signage system may not take effect
sooner than 90 days after its adoption by the unit of local government.

(c) A home rule unit may not regulate hazard signage systems in a
manner inconsistent with the regulation of those systems by the State under
this Act or by the federal government.  This Section is a limitation under
subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised
by the State.
