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. 18.6. Registry fees.

The Department of Public Health shall levy a
fee for each
registrant under Sections 18.05 through 18.5.
A $15 fee shall be charged for registering with the Illinois Adoption
Registry and Medical Information Exchange.  However, this fee shall be
waived for all adopted or surrendered persons, surviving children and spouses of deceased adopted persons, adoptive parents,
legal guardians, birth parents, birth grandparents, birth aunts, birth uncles, and
birth siblings who complete a Medical Information Exchange Questionnaire at the
time of registration and authorize its release to specified registered parties,
and for adoptive parents
registering within 12 months of the finalization of the
adoption.  All persons who were registered with the Illinois Adoption Registry
prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999
and who wish to
update their registration may do so without charge.
No charge of any
kind shall be made for the withdrawal of any form provided in Section 18.2.
