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.
815 ILCS 710/1.1
(815 ILCS 710/1.1) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 751.1)
Sec. 1.1. Declaration of purpose. The Legislature finds and declares that
the distribution and sale of vehicles within this State vitally affects
the general economy of the State and the public interest, welfare, and safety and
that in order to promote the public interest, welfare, and safety, and in the exercise
of its police power, it is necessary to regulate motor vehicle manufacturers,
distributors, wholesalers and factory or distributor branches or representatives,
and to regulate dealers of motor vehicles doing business in this State in
order to prevent frauds, impositions, discrimination, and other abuses upon its citizens,
to protect and preserve the investments and properties of the citizens of
this State, to foster healthy competition, and to provide adequate and sufficient service to consumers generally. The licensing and supervision of motor vehicle dealers is necessary for the protection of consumers and the sale of motor vehicles by unlicensed dealers shall be prohibited.
The Legislature further finds that the regulation of motor vehicle manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, factory branches, distributor branches and representatives, and dealers promotes the distribution of motor vehicles to the public and provides a system for servicing vehicles and for complying with manufacturer warranties so that consumers can keep their motor vehicles properly functioning and safe. The sale and distribution of motor vehicles constitutes a continuing obligation of manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, factory branches, distributor branches and representatives, and dealers to consumers, and the public has an interest in promoting the availability of post-sale mechanical and operational services.
