A BILL FOR
HB1090 LRB096 06208 KTG 16290 b
AN ACT concerning business.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Automatic Telephone Dialers Act is amended
by changing Section 15 as follows:
(815 ILCS 305/15) (from Ch. 134, par. 115)
Sec. 15. Method of operation.
(a) No person shall operate an autodialer in this State to
place a telephone call during the hours between 9 p.m. and 9
a.m.
(b) All autodialers operated within the State of Illinois
shall disconnect within 30 seconds after termination of the
call by the subscriber or the autodialer. Where disconnection
in 30 seconds is technically not feasible, the autodialer shall
utilize a live operator who shall:
(1) state his name, the name, address and telephone
number of the business or organization being represented
and the purpose of the call; and
(2) inquire at the beginning of the call whether the
person called consents to hear the prerecorded message.
(c) An autodialer shall not be used to dial numbers
determined by successively increasing or decreasing integers.
(d) An autodialer may not be operated in a manner that

HB1090 - 2 - LRB096 06208 KTG 16290 b
impedes the function of any caller ID when the telephone
solicitor's service or equipment is capable of allowing the
display of the solicitor's telephone number.
(e) Each telephone call made by an autodialer shall, at the
beginning of the prerecorded message, state clearly the
identity of the business, individual, or other entity that is
responsible for initiating the call.
