Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
20 ILCS 1805/86
(20 ILCS 1805/86) (from Ch. 129, par. 220.86)
Sec. 86.
Whenever 12 or more persons, any of them armed with clubs or
dangerous weapons, or 30 or more, armed or unarmed are unlawfully,
riotously or tumultuously assembled, it is the duty of the commanding
officer of such military force as may be present on duty, to go
among the persons so assembled, or as near them as safety will permit, and
in the name of the State command them immediately to disperse, and if they
do not obey, every person refusing to disperse shall be deemed one of such
unlawful assembly and shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor; and each
officer having notice of such unlawful assembly and refusing or neglecting
to do their duty in relation thereto, as aforesaid, shall be guilty of a
petty offense.
When persons so unlawfully assembled neglect or refuse, on command, as
aforesaid, to disperse, it shall be the duty of the above military
authorities to forthwith suppress such assembly and disperse the persons
composing it in such manner as may be most expedient.
If in the efforts made as aforesaid to suppress such assembly and to
arrest and secure the persons composing it who neglect or refuse to
disperse, though the number remaining be less than 12, any such
persons, or any persons, present as spectators or otherwise, are killed or
wounded, the military personnel, each and all of them, shall be
held guiltless of any crime and justified in law.
