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.
(820 ILCS 310/19.5) (from Ch. 48, par. 172.54-1)
Sec. 19.5.
If the Commission shall, before or after any
hearing, proceeding, or review to any court, be satisfied that the employee
is a poor person, and unable to pay the costs and expenses provided for by
this Act, the Commission shall permit such poor person to have all the
rights and remedies provided by this Act, including the issuance and
service of subpoenas; a transcript of testimony and the record of
proceedings, including photostatic copies of exhibits, at
hearings before an Arbitrator or the Commission; the right to the
filing of a written request for summons; and the right to the
issuance of summons, without the filing of a bond for costs
and without the payment of any of the costs provided for by this Act. If
an award is granted to such employee, or settlement is made, the costs and
expenses chargeable to the employee as provided for by this Act shall be
paid by the employer out of the award herein granted, or settlement, before
any of the balance of the award or settlement is paid to the employee.
