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.

(5 ILCS 70/9)
Sec. 9. Stated repeal date; presentation to Governor.

If a bill that changes or eliminates the stated repeal date of an Act or an Article or  Section of an Act is presented to the Governor by the General Assembly before the stated repeal date and, after the stated repeal date, either the Governor approves the bill,  the General Assembly overrides the Governor's veto of the bill, or the bill becomes law because it is not returned by the Governor
within 60 calendar days after it is presented to the Governor, then the Act, Article, or Section shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect from the stated repeal date  through the date the Governor approves the bill,  the General Assembly overrides the Governor's veto of the bill, or the bill becomes law because it is not returned by the Governor
within 60 calendar days after it is presented to the Governor.

Any action taken in reliance on the continuous effect of such an Act, Article, or Section by any person or entity is  hereby validated.
