Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(515 ILCS 5/1-120) (from Ch. 56, par. 1-120)
Sec. 1-120.
Seasons; daily limits.
The seasons during which protected
aquatic life may be taken and the size limits and daily catch limits set
out in this Code are based upon a proper biological balance and shall be
regulated by administrative rule.
The Department may not provide for a longer season or a larger daily
catch limit than is provided in this Code, except as provided
by Section 1-150.
The Department shall modify existing provisions, when necessary,
including open seasons, size limits, quotas, limited entry, and methods of
taking fish from the waters of Lake Michigan under the jurisdiction of the
State of Illinois, in order that the compact between the Canadian provinces
and those States of the United States adjacent to the Great Lakes,
including the United States and Canadian Governments, may be fulfilled in
the best interests of the fisheries resources and the general public.
Employees or agents of any federal, State, or municipal government or
body, when engaged in investigative work, may by prior written approval of
the Director be exempted from this Code.
