Section 103.10  Residency Defined

Residency as defined by the Illinois Supreme Court shall govern this Act as follows:  "Residence ordinarily means that a person has his home in a particular place.  This involves the question of intent with which he is staying in that place.  If a person goes to a place with the intention of remaining for a limited time, although in point of fact he may remain for a year or more, still does not constitute him a resident.  It is his intent accompanied by his acts, and not the lapse of time, which determines whether he is a resident of the particular place.  The word "resident" is in common usage and is generally understood to mean one having more than mere physical presence."
