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.
