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.

It shall be the duty of each county
board to
provide United States national flags of not less than four by eight feet
in size, to be unfurled and kept floating from a suitable flag-staff to
be placed on the top of the court house in its respective
county,
and it is hereby made the duty of the sheriff of each and every county
in the State to see that the flag so provided shall be hoisted on its
flag-staff above the court house and kept floating from eight o'clock a.m. to five o'clock p.m. on each and every legal holiday of the year,
and on such other days as the county board may direct.

The county board may provide for the display of an MIA flag at the court house in its county, either upon the same flag-staff as the United States national flag or otherwise.
