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.

(30 ILCS 167/5)

Sec. 5.

Findings; purpose.

The General Assembly finds that violations of
the Tobacco
Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act threaten the integrity of the tobacco Master
Settlement
Agreement, the fiscal soundness of the State, and the public health. The
General Assembly finds
that enacting procedural enhancements will help prevent violations and aid the
enforcement of the
Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Escrow Act and thereby safeguard the Master
Settlement
Agreement, the fiscal soundness of the State, and the public health. The
provisions of this Act are
not intended to and shall not be interpreted to amend the Tobacco Product
Manufacturers' Escrow
Act.
