    AN ACT to amend the  Private  Detective,  Private  Alarm,
Private Security, and Locksmith Act of 1993 by adding Section
117.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private
Security, and Locksmith Act of  1993  is  amended  by  adding
Section 117 as follows:

    (225 ILCS 446/117 new)
    Sec. 117.  Advertisement; penalties.
    (a)  No licensee providing services regulated by this Act
may  knowingly advertise those services without including his
or  her  license  number  in  the   advertisement.    Nothing
contained   in   this   Section  requires  the  publisher  of
advertising for such services to verify the accuracy  of  the
license number provided by the advertiser.
    (b)  A licensee who advertises services regulated by this
Act  who knowingly (i) fails to display his or her license at
his or her place of business as required under  Section  115,
(ii)  fails  to  provide a publisher with the correct license
number, or (iii)  provides a publisher with a  false  license
number  or  a license number of a person or agency other than
the person or agency doing the advertising, or a licensee who
knowingly allows his or her license number to be displayed or
used to allow another person  or  agency  to  circumvent  any
provision   of   this   Section,  is  guilty  of  a  Class  A
misdemeanor. Each day a licensee fails to display his or  her
license  as  required  under  Section  115  and  each  day an
advertisement runs or a licensee allows his or her license to
be displayed or used in violation of this Section constitutes
a separate offense. In addition to the penalties and remedies
provided for in this Section, a  licensee  who  violates  any
provision   of   this   Section   shall  be  subject  to  the
disciplinary sanction and civil penalty  provisions  of  this
Act.

    Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
