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.
(415 ILCS 5/56.6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1056.6)

fees due under this Section.
A fee in the amount of 3 cents per pound of potentially
infectious medical waste shall be collected by the Agency from a potentially

this Section. The Agency shall not refund any fee paid to it under this
Section.
(d) The Agency shall not collect a fee under this Section from a
