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.

    (35 ILCS 171/3)
    Sec. 3. Legislative finding. The General Assembly finds that a simplified sales tax and use tax system will reduce and over time eliminate the burden and cost for all vendors to collect this State's sales and use tax. The General Assembly further finds that this State should participate in multistate discussions to review or amend or both review and amend the terms of the Agreement to simplify and modernize sales tax and use tax administration in order to substantially reduce the burden of tax compliance for all sellers and for all types of commerce.
