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.

105 ILCS 20/1

(105 ILCS 20/1) (from Ch. 122, par. 771)

Sec. 1.

In each public school classroom the teacher in charge shall observe a
brief period of silence with the participation of all the pupils therein
assembled at the opening of every school day. This period shall not be
conducted as a religious exercise but shall be an opportunity for silent
prayer or for silent reflection on the anticipated activities of the day.
