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.

be held in an appropriate account outside of the State treasury. The
treasurer of the Not-for-Profit Corporation is custodian of all corporate funds.
The Not-for-Profit Corporation and its officers are
responsible for the approval of recording of receipts, approval of payments,
and the proper filing of required reports. The Not-for-Profit Corporation may be assisted in
