Information maintained by the LegislativeReference Bureau Updating the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) database is an ongoing process. More recent laws may not yet be in the ILCS database, but they can be found on this website asPublicActssoon after they become law. Information on the relationship between laws and public acts can be found in theguide. Because the Legislative Database is maintained primarily for draft legislation purposes, legislative changes are sometimes entered into the Legislative Database before they come into force. If the source at the end of a section of the Articles of Incorporation contains a public law that is not yet in effect, the current version of the law may already have been removed from the database and you should refer to that public law for changes to the current version display on the right.
