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.

Overseers of military veterans assistance are hereby prohibited

and consent of the commander and assistance committee of the post or camp
of a military veterans organization having jurisdiction as provided in
Sections 2 and 3 of this Act. Military veterans with families and the

and assistance committee of such post or camp of a military veterans
organization, within the jurisdiction of which the case may occur, be sent
to any mental health facility and cared for as provided for indigent
persons who are mentally ill.
