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.

(15 ILCS 305/10) (from Ch. 124, par. 10)

Sec. 10.

Whenever any bill which has passed both houses of the General
Assembly, and is not approved, or vetoed and returned by the Governor, or filed
with his objection in the office of the Secretary of State, as required by
Section 9, of Article IV, of the Constitution, it shall be the duty of the
Secretary of State to authenticate the same by a certificate thereon, to the
following effect, as the case may be:

"This bill having remained with the Governor 60

calendar days after it was presented to him, the General Assembly being in session, or the Governor having failed to return this bill to the General Assembly during its session, and having failed to file it in my office, with his objections, within such 60 calendar days, it has thereby become a law.

Dated ..............

Signature ..............., Secretary of State".
