Information maintained by the Legislative Reference 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 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.

    (305 ILCS 5/4-4.1)
    Sec. 4-4.1. Immunizations.
    (a) The Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Illinois Department of Public Aid) shall develop and implement and that Department and the Department of Human Services shall jointly continue by rule a program to ensure that children under 5 years of age living in assistance units that receive benefits under this Code are immunized. The Illinois Department of Public Aid shall report to the Governor and the General Assembly on the progress of the program on April 1, 1994 and 1995.
    (b) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require immunization of any child in contravention of the stated objections of a parent, guardian, or relative with custody of a child that the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with his or her religious tenets and practices.
