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.

Sec. 35.

Injunctive relief, damages, costs, and fees.

(a) In any action brought under this Act, and upon the verified
application of the State's Attorney or his designee, the circuit court may
at any time enter such restraining orders, injunctions, or other
prohibitions, or order such other relief as it deems proper, including but
not limited to ordering any person to divest himself of any involvement or
interest, direct or indirect, in any illegal streetgang activity and imposing
other reasonable restrictions on the future illegal activities of any
defendant.

(b) A final judgement in favor of a public authority under this Act
shall entitle it to recover compensatory damages for all damages, losses,
impairments, or other harm proximately caused, together with the costs of the
suit and reasonable attorneys' fees.  Punitive damages may be assessed
against any streetgang, against any streetgang officer or member found
guilty of actual participation in or to be legally accountable for a course
or pattern of criminal activity under this Act.
