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
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
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 changes
made to the current law.

If any
provision added by this amendatory Act of 1997 is held invalid, this entire
amendatory Act of 1997 shall be deemed
invalid, and the provisions of Section 1.31, "Severability", of the Statute on
Statutes are hereby expressly declared not applicable to this amendatory Act of

made
in accordance with the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1997, other than as

provisions of
proviso (i) shall not be deemed to preserve the validity of any executory
contracts or transactions, of any actions to be taken pursuant to orders
issued, or of any services to be performed, billings to be rendered, or
payments
to be made, pursuant to provisions of this amendatory Act of 1997 subsequent to
the date of
