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.

concealment of homicidal death.

(d) Law enforcement agencies participating in the advisory may request assistance when:

apprehended;

(2) the agency believes that the suspect may be a

serious threat to the public; and

(3) sufficient information is available to

disseminate to the public that could assist in locating the suspect.

(e) The Illinois State Police shall reserve the authority  to determine if dissemination of the information will pose a significant risk to the public or jeopardize the investigation.

(f)  The Illinois State Police may partner with media and may request a media broadcast  concerning details of the suspect in order to obtain the public's assistance in locating the suspect or vehicle used in the offense, or both.
