(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 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.
