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.

Disclosure without consent under the Sexually Violent Persons
Commitment Act.

Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act.  Disclosure may be made to the
Attorney General, the State's Attorney participating in the case, the

Any records and any information obtained from those records under this
Section may be used only in sexually violent persons commitment
