Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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. 3. Designation of exotic weeds. The Department shall determine the plants that are exotic weeds for the purposes of this Act and shall compile and keep current a list of such exotic weeds, which list shall be published and incorporated in the rules of the Department. The Department, by rule, shall exempt varieties of any species listed in the rule that can be demonstrated by published or current research not to be an exotic weed as defined in Section 2. The Department shall consult with the Department of Agriculture before adding or removing any plant from the exotic weed list by administrative rule. The Department may also consult with any group serving interests in agriculture, industry, conservation, ecology, or management regarding exotic weeds.
