The Investigations Division utilizes Special Agents to conduct inspections at ILCC-licensed entities throughout Illinois, to plan and execute underage compliance details, to conduct investigations concerning complaints against licensed entities, and to coordinate and cooperate with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The Legal Division is responsible for counseling the Commissioners and the Executive Director on interpretations of the Illinois Liquor Control Act and its Rules and Regulations.
Minor offenses are handled quickly through an administrative review process, similar to paying parking tickets.
More serious violations are reviewed by a staff attorney and a citation is prepared for formal hearing before the Commissioners.
This division makes available a variety of educational publications including, newsletters, booklets, flyers, news releases, signs and a Commission website.
