Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impose any additional duty of care
on an owner of land who either directly or indirectly invites or permits
without charge, as defined in the Recreational Use of Land and Water Areas
Act, any person to use such property for recreational purposes. Except that
the provisions in this Act for applications for permits and licenses, the
provisions for fees for permits and licenses, and the provision for fine
and imprisonment shall not apply to the State of Illinois, to Departments
thereof, or to units of local government. The State of Illinois and
Departments thereof and units of local government shall furnish to the
Department such information as may be requested by the Department as would
otherwise be required for permits and licenses. The terms "campground" and
"recreational area" shall not be construed to include buildings, tents, or
other structures maintained by an individual or company on their own
premises and used exclusively to house their own farm labor, or any military
establishment of the United States or this State wherein a recreational
vehicle or vehicles may be located or harbored, on any park or State or
county fairgrounds for a period during, immediately prior to and
immediately subsequent to the holding of a fair or in association with
events or activities being sponsored on any State or county fairgrounds,
or the area or premises on any farm upon which are
harbored recreational vehicles occupied by persons employed upon such farm
for not to exceed 90 days in any calendar year in the production, harvesting
or processing of agricultural or horticultural products produced on such farm.
