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.
(510 ILCS 68/5-20) Sec. 5-20. Propagation of endangered or threatened species. (a) No person shall take or possess for the purpose of propagation any of the herptiles listed in the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act, the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, or administrative rules unless authorized by a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit issued by the Department. For the purpose of propagation only, a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit shall allow a resident of this State to possess, propagate, or sell legally obtained endangered and threatened herptiles.
The Department shall adopt rules relating to the acquisition, possession, and propagation of legally obtained endangered and threatened herptiles. The Department shall determine, by rule, the application, fees, duration, and other requirements necessary for the issuance or suspension or revocation of a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit. All fees collected from the issuance of a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit shall be deposited into the Illinois Wildlife Preservation Fund.
(b) Any person issued a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit by the Department who is in possession of a threatened or endangered (T/E) herptile species shall be exempt from an individual's overall possession limit under the permitting system set forth in this Act. However, the holder of a Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit is not exempt from the species limitations set forth in the administrative rules regarding the Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit. Any species occurring on the federal T/E list also requires a Department permit for possession, propagation, sale, or offer for sale unless otherwise permitted under this Act or administrative rule.
(c) (Blank).
(d) Federally licensed exhibits shall not be exempt from the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act, this Act, or administrative rule.
(e) Any changes in threatened or endangered species inventory for herptiles by current, existing Herptile Endangered and Threatened Species Propagation permit holders shall be reported to the Department in writing no later than the first business day after that change occurred. Applications for permits to possess and take herptiles shall be reviewed by the Department as provided by this Act or administrative rule.
(f) (Blank).
(g) (Blank). (h) (Blank).
