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.
(720 ILCS 150/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2351)
Sec. 1.
It shall be unlawful for any person having the care, custody or
control of any child under the age of fourteen years, to exhibit, use or
employ, or in any manner, or under any pretense, sell, apprentice, give
away, let out, or otherwise dispose of any such child to any person in or
for the vocation or occupation, service or purpose of singing, playing on
musical instruments, rope or wire walking, dancing, begging, or peddling,
or as a gymnast, contortionist, rider or acrobat in any place whatsoever,
or for any obscene, indecent or immoral purpose, exhibition or practice
whatsoever, or for, or in any business, exhibition or vocation injurious to
the health or dangerous to the life or limb of such child, or cause,
procure or encourage any such child to engage therein. Nothing in this
section contained shall apply to or affect the employment or use of any
such child as a singer or musician in any church, school or academy (or at
