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 5/10-100) (from Ch. 56, par. 10-100)
Sec. 10-100. Release of aquatic life. (a) It shall be unlawful to
release any aquatic life
into the wild in this State without first securing permission of the
Department to do so, except that the owner of a body of water may release
aquatic life indigenous to the State of Illinois into waters wholly upon his or her property. The Department shall have the authority to promulgate
necessary rules and regulations, under the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act, regulating the possession, transportation, and shipping of
aquatic life not indigenous to the State of Illinois. All aquatic life may be
immediately returned unharmed from where they were taken. A violation of this subsection (a) is a Class B misdemeanor.
(b) It is unlawful to possess, transport, or release any live specimen or viable gametes of any species listed as injurious by administrative rule, unless authorized by that rule. A violation of this subsection (b) is a Class A misdemeanor.
