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.
(815 ILCS 333/8)
Sec. 8. Provision of information in writing;
presentation of records.
(a) If parties have agreed to conduct a transaction by electronic means and a law requires a person to provide, send, or deliver information in writing to another person, the requirement is satisfied if the information is provided, sent, or delivered, as the case may be, in an electronic record capable of retention by the recipient at the time of receipt. An electronic record is not capable of retention by the recipient if the sender or its information processing system inhibits the ability of the recipient to print or store the electronic record. (b) If a law other than this Act requires a record (i) to be posted or displayed in a certain manner, (ii) to be sent, communicated, or transmitted by a specified method, or (iii) to contain information that is formatted in a certain manner, the following rules apply: (1) The record must be posted or displayed in the |
| manner specified in the other law.
|
|
(2) Except as otherwise provided in subsection
|
| (d)(2), the record must be sent, communicated, or transmitted by the method specified in the other law.
|
|
(3) The record shall contain the information
|
| formatted in the manner specified in the other law.
|
|
(c) If a sender inhibits the ability of a recipient to store or print an electronic record, the electronic record is not enforceable against the recipient.
(d) The requirements of this Section may not be varied by agreement, but:
(1) to the extent a law other than this Act requires
|
| information to be provided, sent, or delivered in writing but permits that requirement to be varied by agreement, the requirement under subsection (a) that the information be in the form of an electronic record capable of retention may also be varied by agreement; and
|
|
(2) a requirement under a law other than this Act to
|
| send, communicate, or transmit a record by first-class mail may be varied by agreement to the extent permitted by the other law.
