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. 50-5. List of limited liability companies; exchange of information.

(a) The Secretary of State shall publish a list or lists
of limited liability companies and foreign limited liability
companies as open data, as often as the
Secretary of State may in his or her discretion provide by rule, but no less often than once per month. "Open data" means data that is expressed in a machine-readable form and that is made freely available to the public under an open license, without registration requirement, and without any other restrictions that would impede its use or reuse.

(b) Upon written request, any list published under subsection (a) shall be provided
 to each member of the General Assembly, to each State
agency or department, and to each recorder in this State.

(c) If a domestic or foreign limited liability company has
filed with the Secretary of State an annual report for the preceding
year or has been newly formed or is otherwise and in any manner
registered with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall
exchange with the Department of Healthcare and Family Services

any information concerning that limited liability
company that may be necessary for the enforcement of child
support orders entered pursuant to the Illinois Public Aid Code, the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Non-Support of Spouse
and Children Act, the Non-Support Punishment Act, the Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement
of Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family
Support Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, or the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015.

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Act to the contrary,
the Secretary of State shall not be liable
to any person for any disclosure of information to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Illinois
Department of Public Aid) under this subsection  or for any other
action taken in good faith to comply with the requirements of this
subsection.

(d) Public data sets made available pursuant to this Section are provided for information purposes only.  The Secretary of State does not warrant the completeness, accuracy, content, or fitness for any particular purpose or use of any public data set made available on the web portal, nor are such warranties to be implied or inferred with respect to the public data sets furnished under this Act.

(e)  The State is not liable for any deficiencies in the completeness, accuracy, content, or fitness for any particular purpose or use of any public data set or any third-party application utilizing such data set, unless such deficiencies are the result of willful or wanton action of the Secretary of State or its employees or agents.
