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.

(625 ILCS 45/3C-2) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 313C-2)

Sec. 3C-2.

Notification to law
enforcement agencies.

When an abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed
watercraft comes into the temporary possession or custody of a person in
this State, not the owner of the watercraft, such person shall immediately
notify the municipal police when the watercraft is within the corporate
limits of any city, village or town having a duly authorized police
department, or the Illinois State Police, Conservation Police or the county sheriff
when the watercraft is outside the corporate limits of a city, village or
town.  Upon receipt of such notification, the municipal police, State
Police, Conservation Police, or county sheriff will authorize a towing
service to remove and take possession of the abandoned, lost, stolen or
unclaimed watercraft.  The towing service will safely keep the towed
watercraft and its contents, and maintain a record of the tow as set forth in
Section 3C-4 for law enforcement agencies, until the watercraft is claimed
by the owner or any other person legally entitled to possession thereof or
until it is disposed of as provided in this Article.
