Information maintained by the LegislativeReference Bureau

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as PublicActs soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to theGuide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changesmade to the current law.
