the notification is relayed to the Illinois Cbunties by the State. 21s provides j
the State of Illinois with a reasonable period of ansesmaent Wich can be alacet instantaneous or several minutes. Se "15 cinute notification clock" begins when the Cbunties rcccive the notifiention. S us whcn Iown waits for l
Illinois, the Iowa Counties are using part of their 15-einutes.
W e Illinois Counties "clocx" has not yet started.
