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.

(520 ILCS 10/5) (from Ch. 8, par. 335)

Sec. 5.

(a) Upon receipt of proper application and approval of
same, the Department may issue a limited
permit authorizing the possession, purchase or disposition of
animals or animal products of an
endangered or threatened species, or federal endangered plants to
any person which had in its possession prior to
the effective date of this Act such an item or which obtained such an
item legally out-of-state. Such permit shall specifically name and describe
each pertinent item possessed by the permit holder and shall be valid only
for possession, purchase or disposition of the items so named.
The Department may require proof that acquisition of such items was
made before the effective date of this Act. The Department
may also issue a limited permit authorizing the
possession, purchase or disposition of live animals or such item to
any person to whom a  holder
of a valid permit issued pursuant to this Section gives, sells, or
otherwise transfers the item named in the permit. Limited permits
issued pursuant to this Section shall be valid only as long
as the item remains in the possession of the person to whom
the permit was issued.

(b) The limited permit shall be revoked by the
Department if it finds that the holder has received it on the basis of
false information, is not complying with its terms, or for other cause.
