Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

410 ILCS 250/1

(410 ILCS 250/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2101)

Sec. 1.

It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State of Illinois that the
prevention of perinatal mortality and conditions leading to developmental
disabilities and other disabilities is a high priority for
attention. Efforts to reduce the incidence of perinatal risk factors by
early identification and management of the high risk woman of childbearing
age, fetus and newborn will not only decrease the predisposition to
disability but will also prove to be a cost-effective endeavor, reducing
State and private expenditures for the care and maintenance of those
persons whose disability was a result of perinatal risk factors.
