(240 ILCS 10/5) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 123)
Sec. 5. Inspections. Upon the filing of an application, the Commission shall cause an
inspection to be made of each warehouse described in the application.
Additional inspections of any warehouse may be made from time to time as
the Commission deems necessary, in order to effectuate the purposes of this
Act.
Such inspection or inspections may include not only the building or
premises used for storage purposes but the arrangement of the goods stored,
nature of goods stored, safety of the building, accessibility to goods
stored, precaution against fire hazards; whether fire extinguishers, fire
apparatus, or hose are in good condition; whether all lots for which
warehouse receipts have been issued are in storage; and any other things
necessary to determine whether the warehouse is being operated in
compliance with this Act. Commission staff shall have the right to enter the
property of any warehouseman at any reasonable time, for the purpose of
making an inspection or performing any duties in connection with this Act.
If the inspection of any warehouse discloses a hazardous condition or
conditions or any other violation of this Act or the  Commission's  rules, the operator shall, upon written notice from the Commission,
take proper and immediate steps to correct the condition or conditions.
Failure to comply with the notice shall be grounds for rejecting an
application or for revoking a license.
(Source: P.A. 96-515, eff. 1-1-10.)
(240 ILCS 10/6) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 124)
Sec. 6. Bond or legal liability insurance policy. Prior to the issuance of a license, the personal property warehouseman
shall file with the Commission
 a surety bond, or legal liability insurance policy on a
form prescribed by the Commission, signed by the warehouseman as principal
and by a responsible company authorized to execute surety bonds within the
State of Illinois. The bond
shall contain provisions for faithful performance by the applicant of
his duties as a warehouseman in accordance with this Act, the rules and
regulations thereof, and the "Uniform Commercial Code", as now or
hereafter amended. Such bond shall also contain provisions for the
payment of any loss or damage sustained by any depositor of property
stored.
The bond or insurance policy shall be in the amount set by the Commission by rule.
Such bond or insurance policy is to be made payable to the People of the State of
Illinois, for the use and benefit of all persons aggrieved by the
failure of the operator to comply with this Act, and shall not be
cancelled during the period for which any license is issued, except upon
at least 90 days' notice, in writing, to the Commission.
If bond other than a surety bond is filed, it must be secured by real
estate having a value of not less than double the amount of such bond
over and above all exemptions and liens thereon. Such bond shall be
recorded and be a lien on the real estate for the amount thereof, and
the recording fees paid by the applicant or operator.
Any operator may, in lieu of a bond, file with the Commission a
certified copy of a legal liability insurance policy or a certificate
of deposit.  The principal
amount of the legal liability insurance policy and the certificate of deposit
shall be the same as that required for a surety bond under this Act.  Any
certificate of deposit filed with the Commission, in lieu of a surety bond,
shall be payable to the Commission as Trustee and the interest
thereon shall be made payable to the purchaser thereof.
The legal liability insurance policy shall contain a loss payable endorsement
making such policy payable to the People of the State of Illinois, with
the Commission as Trustee.  The legal liability insurance
policy shall not
be cancelled during the period for which any license is issued, except
upon at least 90 days' notice in writing to the Commission. When in the
discretion of the Commission, the legal liability insurance policy or the assets
of a warehouseman appear to be insufficient, when compared to his
storage obligations or to meet the bond requirements of the United
States, or any agency or corporation controlled by the United States
when they have a contract for storage with the warehouseman, or for any
other reason it may appear necessary to the Commission, the Commission 
may require such additional bond or legal liability insurance policy as may be
reasonable in the circumstances.
The Commission as trustee of the bond or policy shall have
the authorities granted him in Section 205-410 of the
Department
of Agriculture Law (20 ILCS 205/205-410) and the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
Failure to keep such bond or insurance policy in effect is cause for
the revocation of any license.

applicant to keep and perpetuate the license, or such other amounts as the Commission may set by rule. The special governmental

shall be made on the negotiable warehouse receipt of any partial deliveries
of goods covered by such receipt.  Delivery of goods covered by a negotiable
warehouse receipt without surrender of such negotiable warehouse receipt
shall be prohibited.

Section 7-202 of the "Uniform Commercial Code", approved
July 31, 1961, as amended.
The property of each depositor shall be specifically designated under a
lot, product code, batch, or other control unit agreed upon by the warehouseman
and depositor.  Said designation shall also
appear on the receipt for the purpose
of identification, and a separate account and record shall be kept for each
customer's property.
No operator shall issue any receipt unless the same shall state on the

the benefit of the depositor against fire or any other casualty.

vans, trucks or other vehicles used by the operator to transport personal
property to and from such warehouses.

complying with this Act; or advertising as being an insured warehouse
unless the insurance is for the benefit of the depositor against fire or
other casualties; or to use any stationery, cards, signs or other
advertisements of a false, fraudulent, deceptive or misleading nature; or
use the word storage, in any way, in connection with the business unless
engaged in the storage business and licensed as a warehouse operator under

A personal property warehouseman has authority to use the services of
warehouse representatives or warehouse brokers in Illinois provided the
names and addresses of such warehouse representatives or warehouse brokers

The Commission 
may, upon its own motion and shall upon the verified complaint in writing

II violation, investigate the actions of any person or persons operating
a personal property warehouse.  The Commission shall issue a formal notice
to the warehouse operator that he is required to take proper and immediate
steps to correct the practices or conditions, and that failure to do so
could be cause for revocation of license and other legal penalties as provided
in this Act.  The warehouse operator shall, if he believes that the complaint
is improper, unjust, or unfounded, request a hearing which
shall be set up in conformance with established practice for Commission administrative
hearings.  If the warehouse operator fails to correct the alleged practices
or conditions, or fails to request a hearing within a stipulated time, his
license shall be revoked, and the Commission may impose civil penalties in the amount provided under the Illinois Commercial Transportation Law.  The Commission may also seek appropriate judicial
action.  In the case of practices or conditions that constitute serious

operating a personal property warehouse.  The Commission shall issue a formal
notice to the warehouse operator that he is required
to take proper and immediate steps to correct the practices or conditions,
and that failure to do so will be cause for revocation of license and additional
legal penalties as provided in this Act.  The warehouse operator shall,
if he believes that the alleged violation is unfounded, request a hearing
which shall be set up in conformance with established practice for administrative
hearings. If the warehouse operator fails to correct the alleged practices or conditions, or fails to request a hearing within a stipulated time, the operator's license shall be revoked, and the Commission may impose civil penalties in the amount provided under the Illinois Commercial Transportation Law.  The Commission may also seek appropriate judicial action.
In connection with any investigation or hearing conducted by the Commission
