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.

The Department is authorized to implement an additional fee for the screening upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly in order to accumulate the resources for start-up and other costs associated with the implementation of the screening and thereafter to support the costs associated with screening. If the Department has not implemented statewide screening for spinal muscular atrophy under this Section within 36 months after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, then the Department shall cease collecting any additional fees related to the screening. The Department may adopt emergency rules in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to implement this Section.
