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. 1-10. Activation of the State Guard.

(a) Whenever the Commander-in-Chief deems it necessary or advisable for the purpose of
executing the laws of the State or to  prevent an actual or threatened violation of law; when
the nation is at war and a requisition or order has been made, or is likely to be made, by the
President of the United States calling the National Guard, or parts thereof, into the National
service; or for any other emergency, he or she may issue a proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the State Guard. Persons who answer the call and who are appointed or enlisted in the State Guard shall serve in State Active Duty status.

(b) The proclamation shall state the number of volunteers needed and the period of State Active Duty during which they are called to serve. The Commander-in-Chief may terminate or extend any such proclamation at any time he or she determines appropriate and in the best interests of the State.

(c) When mobilized and deployed to support civil authorities, the State Guard may be directed by civil authorities as to work to be done or the result to be attained, but not as to the method to be employed. At all times, State Guard units and members shall remain under the command and control of the Commander-in-Chief, the Adjutant General, and such subordinate commanders as the Adjutant General may appoint.
