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.

Sec. 1.
Whenever it is required by law that any legal notice or publication
shall be published in a newspaper in this State, it shall be held to mean a
newspaper

contains at least 100 square inches of printed matter per page; and
(b) which is printed through the use of one of the conventional and
generally recognized printing processes such as letterpress, lithography or
gravure; and
(c) which annually averages at least 25% news content per issue; or
which annually averages at least 1,000 column inches of news content per
issue, the term "news content" meaning for the purposes of this Act any
printed matter other than advertising; and
(d) which publishes miscellaneous reading matter, legal or other
announcements and notices, and news and information concerning current
happenings and passing events of a political, social, religious,
commercial, financial or legal nature, and advertisements or bulletins; and
(e) which has been continuously published at regular intervals of at
least once each week with a minimum of 50 issues per year, for at least one
year prior to the first publication of the notice; or which is a successor
to a newspaper as herein defined with no interruption of publication of
more than 30 days; or which is a merged or consolidated newspaper formed by
the merger or consolidation of two or more newspapers, one of which has
been continuously published at regular intervals of at least once each week
with a minimum of 50 issues per year for at least one year prior to the
first publication of the notice. A newspaper shall be considered as
continuously or regularly published although its publication has been
suspended, where such suspension was caused by fire or an Act of God or by
a labor dispute or by its owner, publisher, managing editor or other
essential employee entering the active military service of the United
States, if the newspaper was continuously or regularly published for at
least one year prior to its suspension and if its publication is resumed at
any time not later than 12 months after such fire or Act of God, or if its
publication is resumed at any time within 12 months after the termination
of the labor dispute, or if its publication is resumed at any time within
12 months after the termination of the war in connection with which such
persons entered such military service; and
(f) which has the capability of placing, at no additional cost to government, notices required pursuant to this Act on a daily or weekly basis on the statewide website established and maintained as a joint venture by the majority of Illinois newspapers as a repository for such notices.
