Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(20 ILCS 3955/13) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 713)
Sec. 13.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit an eligible
person from being represented by privately
retained counsel or from
waiving his right to an attorney in proceedings under the "Mental Health
and Developmental Disabilities Code", approved by the Eightieth General
Assembly, as now or hereafter amended, or as otherwise provided by law.
If a Legal Advocacy Service attorney has been appointed by a court and
the eligible person secures his own counsel, the court
shall discharge the Legal Advocacy Service attorney.
