Illinois Noxious Weed Law

Illinois · Agriculture · §§ 505-100-1 to 505-100-9 · 22 sections

Overview

This act governs the control and eradication of noxious weeds, placing an affirmative duty on landowners and occupiers to suppress and destroy such weeds on land they own or control, using methods approved by the state agriculture director. Enforcement rests with the director, working through local control authorities that operate under departmental rules and may employ certified weed control superintendents; those authorities issue general and individual notices directing landowners to act, and may perform the work themselves and charge the cost to the responsible party. The act provides for protest of such charges to the director, judicial review of final administrative decisions, penalties for violations, and authority for the state to participate in cooperative weed control programs and match federal funds.
