charge of the premises (1) appropriate credentials and (2) a
written notice of his or her inspection authority (which notice, in the
case of an inspection requiring or in fact supported by an administrative
inspection warrant, shall consist of that
warrant), shall have the right to enter the premises and conduct
the inspection at reasonable times.
Inspectors appointed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly by the Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation under this Section 501 are
conservators of the peace and as such have all the powers possessed by

powers anywhere in the State.
A Chief of Investigations of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's Division of Professional Regulation appointed by the Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly is a

(720 ILCS 570/502) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1502)
Sec. 502.
(a) Issuance and execution of administrative inspection warrants shall
be as follows:
(1) a judge of a circuit court upon proper
oath or affirmation showing probable cause, may issue warrants for the
purpose of conducting administrative inspections authorized by this Act or
rules hereunder, and seizures of property appropriate to the inspections.
For purposes of the issuance of administrative inspection warrants,
probable cause exists upon showing a valid public interest in the effective
enforcement of this Act or rules hereunder, sufficient to justify
administrative inspection of the controlled premises, as defined in
subsection (b), specified in the application for the warrant.
(2) an inspection warrant shall issue only upon an affidavit of any
person having knowledge of the facts alleged, sworn to before the circuit
judge and establishing the grounds for issuing the inspection warrant. If
the circuit judge is satisfied that there is probable cause to believe that
grounds for issuance of an inspection warrant exist, he shall issue an
inspection warrant identifying the controlled premises to be inspected, the
purpose of the inspection, and, if appropriate, the type of property to be
inspected or seized, if any. The inspection warrant shall:
(i) state the ground for its issuance and the name of each person whose
affidavit has been taken in support thereof;
(ii) be directed to a person authorized by Section 501 to execute it;
(iii) command the person to whom it is directed to inspect the
controlled premises identified for the purpose specified and, if
appropriate, direct the seizure of the property specified;
(iv) identify the item or types of property to be seized, if any;
(v) direct that it be served at any time of the day or night and
designate the circuit court judge to whom it shall be returned.
(3) an inspection warrant issued pursuant to this Section must be
executed and returned within 10 days of its date of issuance unless, upon a
showing of a need for additional time, the court which issued the
inspection warrant orders otherwise. If property is seized pursuant to an
inspection warrant, a copy of the inventory of such seized property shall
be given to the person from whom or from whose controlled premises the
property is taken. If no person is available, the inspection warrant and a
copy of the inventory shall be left at such controlled premises. The
inventory shall be made under oath by the person executing the warrant.
(4) an inspection warrant shall be returnable before the judge of the
circuit court who issued the inspection warrant or any judge named in the
inspection warrant or before the circuit court. The judge
before whom the return is made shall attach to the inspection warrant a
copy of the return and all papers returnable in connection therewith and
file them with the clerk of the circuit court in which the inspection
warrant was executed.
(5) no warrant shall be quashed nor evidence suppressed because of
technical irregularities not affecting the substantial rights of the person
responsible for the controlled premises.
(b) The Director may make inspections of controlled premises in
accordance with the following provisions:
(1) For purposes of this Section only, "controlled premises" means:
(i) places where persons registered or exempted from registration
requirements under this Act keep records required under this Act; and
(ii) places, including but not limited to, areas, buildings, premises,
factories, warehouses, establishments and conveyances in which persons
registered or exempted from registration requirements under this Act are
permitted to possess, manufacture, distribute, dispense, administer, or
otherwise dispose of any controlled substance.
(2) When authorized by an inspection warrant issued pursuant to this
Act, any agent designated by the Director or any peace officer, upon
presenting the inspection warrant to the person designated in the
inspection warrant or any other person on the controlled premises, may
enter controlled premises for the purpose of conducting the inspection.
(3) When authorized by an inspection warrant any agent designated by the
Director may execute the inspection warrant in accordance with its terms.
(4) This section does not prevent the inspection without a warrant of
books and records pursuant to an administrative subpoena issued in
accordance with "The Civil Administrative Code of Illinois," nor does it
prevent entries and administrative inspections, including seizures of
property, without a warrant:
(i) if the person in charge of the controlled premises consents; or
(ii) in situations presenting imminent danger to health or safety; or
(iii) in situations involving inspection of conveyances if there is
reasonable cause to believe that the mobility of the conveyance makes it
impracticable to obtain a warrant; or
(iv) in any other exceptional or emergency circumstance where time or
opportunity to apply for a warrant is lacking.
(5) An inspection warrant authorized by this Section shall not extend to
financial data, sales data, other than shipment data, or pricing data
unless the person in charge of the controlled premises consents in writing,
provided, however, that records required to be kept under this Act are not
included in such financial data, sales data or pricing data.

|
|
(b) Property subject to forfeiture under this Act may be seized by the
Director or any peace officer upon process or seizure warrant issued by
any court having jurisdiction over the property. Seizure by the Director
or any peace officer without process may be made:
(1) if the seizure is incident to inspection under an
| | administrative inspection warrant;

|
(5) in accordance with the Code of Criminal Procedure
| |
(c) In the event of seizure pursuant to subsection (b), notice shall be given forthwith to all known interest holders that forfeiture

(d) Property taken or detained under this Section shall not be subject
to replevin, but is deemed to be in the custody of the Director subject
only to the order and judgments of the circuit court having jurisdiction over
the forfeiture proceedings and the decisions of the State's Attorney

|
(6) provide for another agency or custodian,
| | including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to take custody of the property upon the terms and conditions set by the Director.
|
|
(e) If the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation suspends or revokes
a registration, all controlled substances owned or possessed by the
registrant at the time of suspension or the effective date of the
revocation order may be placed under seal by the Director. No disposition may be made of
substances under seal until the time for taking an appeal has elapsed or
until all appeals have been concluded unless a court, upon application
therefor, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit of the
proceeds of the sale with the court. Upon a suspension or revocation order becoming final,
all substances may be forfeited to the Illinois State Police.
(f) When property is forfeited under this Act the Director shall
sell all such property unless such property is required by law to be
destroyed or is harmful to the public, and shall distribute the proceeds of

prosecutor who was responsible for the investigation, arrest or arrests and
prosecution which lead to the forfeiture, the Director may return any item
of forfeited property to the seizing agency or prosecutor for official use
in the enforcement of laws relating to cannabis or controlled substances,
if the agency or prosecutor can demonstrate that the item requested would
be useful to the agency or prosecutor in their enforcement efforts. When any forfeited conveyance, including an aircraft, vehicle, or vessel, is returned to the seizing agency or prosecutor, the conveyance may be used immediately in the enforcement of the criminal laws of this State. Upon disposal, all proceeds from the sale of the conveyance must be used for drug enforcement purposes. When

Director and distributed in accordance with subsection (g).
(g) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other property forfeited and
seized under this Act shall be distributed as follows:
(1)(i) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan
| | enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or state law enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or participated in the investigation resulting in the forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable relationship to the degree of direct participation of the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of the property forfeited and the total law enforcement effort with respect to the violation of the law upon which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to the agency or agencies shall be used for the enforcement of laws governing cannabis and controlled substances or for security cameras used for the prevention or detection of violence, except that amounts distributed to the Secretary of State shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Evidence Fund to be used as provided in Section 2-115 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
|
|
(ii) Any local, municipal, or county law enforcement
| | agency entitled to receive a monetary distribution of forfeiture proceeds may share those forfeiture proceeds pursuant to the terms of an intergovernmental agreement with a municipality that has a population in excess of 20,000 if:

| (I) the receiving agency has entered into an
| | intergovernmental agreement with the municipality to provide police services;
|
| (II) the intergovernmental agreement for police
| | services provides for consideration in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per year;
|
| (III) the seizure took place within the
| | geographical limits of the municipality; and
|
| (IV) the funds are used only for the enforcement
| | of laws governing cannabis and controlled substances or for security cameras used for the prevention or detection of violence or the establishment of a municipal police force, including the training of officers, construction of a police station, the purchase of law enforcement equipment, or vehicles.
|
|
(2)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of
| | the State's Attorney of the county in which the prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was instituted, deposited in a special fund in the county treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney for use in the enforcement of laws governing cannabis and controlled substances, or at the discretion of the State's Attorney, in addition to other authorized purposes, to make grants to local substance abuse treatment facilities and half-way houses. In counties over 3,000,000 population, 25% will be distributed to the Office of the State's Attorney for use in the enforcement of laws governing cannabis and controlled substances, or at the discretion of the State's Attorney, in addition to other authorized purposes, to make grants to local substance abuse treatment facilities and half-way houses. If the prosecution is undertaken solely by the Attorney General, the portion provided hereunder shall be distributed to the Attorney General for use in the enforcement of laws governing cannabis and controlled substances.
|
|
(ii) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of the
| | State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund of that office to be used for additional expenses incurred in the investigation, prosecution and appeal of cases arising under laws governing cannabis and controlled substances. The Office of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor shall not receive distribution from cases brought in counties with over 3,000,000 population.
|
|
(3) 10% shall be retained by the Department of State
| | Police for expenses related to the administration and sale of seized and forfeited property.
|
|
(h) Species of plants from which controlled substances in Schedules I
and II may be derived which have been planted or cultivated in violation of
this Act, or of which the owners or cultivators are unknown, or which are
wild growths, may be seized and summarily forfeited to the State. The
failure, upon demand by the Director or any peace officer, of the person in
occupancy or in control of land or premises upon which the species of
plants are growing or being stored, to produce registration, or proof that
he or she is the holder thereof, constitutes authority for the seizure and
forfeiture of the plants.

the Department of Human Services under this Act are
final and
conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any person aggrieved by the
decision may obtain review of the decision pursuant to the provisions of

shall remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order of court.
However, no stay of any decision of the administrative agency shall issue
unless the person aggrieved by the decision establishes by a preponderance
of the evidence that good cause exists therefor. In determining good cause,
the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a substantial
likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that granting the stay will not
have an injurious effect on the general public. Good cause shall not be
established solely on the basis of hardships resulting from an inability
to engage in the registered activity pending a final judicial decision.

(b) The sheriff or seizing law enforcement agency must file a motion requesting destruction of bulk evidence before the trial judge in the courtroom where the criminal charge is pending. The sheriff or seizing law enforcement agency must give notice of the motion requesting destruction of bulk evidence to the prosecutor of the criminal charge and the defense attorney of record. The trial judge will conduct an evidentiary hearing in which all parties will be given the opportunity to present evidence and arguments relating to whether the evidence should be destroyed, whether such destruction will prejudice the prosecution of the criminal case, and whether the destruction of the evidence will prejudice the defense of the criminal charge. The court's determination whether to grant the motion for destruction of bulk evidence must be based upon the totality of all of the circumstances of the case presented at the evidentiary hearing, the effect such destruction would have upon the defendant's constitutional rights, and the prosecutor's ability to proceed with the prosecution of the criminal charge.
(c) The court may, before trial, transfer excess quantities of any substance containing any of the controlled substances enumerated in subsection (a) with respect to a prosecution for any offense enumerated in subsection (a) to the sheriff of the county, or may, in its discretion, transfer such evidence to the Illinois State Police, for destruction after notice is given to the defendant's attorney of record or to the defendant if the defendant is proceeding pro se.
(d) After a judgment of conviction is entered and the charged quantity is no longer needed for evidentiary purposes with respect to a prosecution for any offense enumerated in subsection (a), the court may transfer any substance containing any of the controlled substances enumerated in subsection (a) to the sheriff of the county, or may, in its discretion, transfer such evidence to the Illinois State Police, for destruction after notice is given to the defendant's attorney of record or to the defendant if the defendant is proceeding pro se. No evidence shall be disposed of until 30 days after the judgment is entered, and if a notice of appeal is filed, no evidence shall be disposed of until the mandate has been received by the circuit court from the Appellate Court.
