Illinois § 2
Full text of Illinois Illinois Compiled Statutes § 2, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2.
The General Assembly finds and determines that: (i) rapid population growth, the ever increasing mobility of the population and improper and abusive discard habits cause the existence, proliferation and accumulation of litter upon public and private property in this State; (ii) litter is detrimental to the welfare of the people of this State; and (iii) while there has been a collective failure by government, industry and the public to develop and accomplish effective litter control, there is a need to educate the public with respect to the problem of litter and to provide for strict enforcement of litter control measures. This Act is, therefore, necessary to provide for uniform prohibition throughout the State of any and all littering on public or private property so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people of this State. (Source: P.A. 78-837.)
