AN ACT concerning business.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 5. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business
Practices Act is amended by changing Section 2X as follows:
(815 ILCS 505/2X) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 262X)
Sec. 2X. It is an unlawful practice for any person to
promote or advertise any business, product or interest in
property by means of distributing documents designed to
simulate checks or other negotiable instruments unless such
instrument has printed upon both its front and and back, the
following statement: "This is not a Check". However, it is not
an unlawful practice under this Section for a person to
distribute for commercial purposes a sample or specimen of a
check or other instrument which is used to solicit orders for
the sale of that instrument and which is clearly marked as a
non-negotiable sample or specimen.
