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.
(430 ILCS 70/2) (from Ch. 38, par. 85-2)
Sec. 2.
Declaration of purpose.
It is declared to be the public policy
of this State: That the maintenance of good order on highways, as defined
in Section 2-202 of the "Illinois Highway Code", is a paramount responsibility
of democratic government;
That the public health, welfare and safety of the community require that
the movement of vehicular traffic on such roadways be lawfully conducted
with a minimum of disruption;
That the practice of unhindered or unrestrained picketing or demonstrating
on such roadways has caused disruption of police, fire and emergency services,
and injury to persons regardless of participation in the march, assembly
or demonstration;
That the practice of multiple demonstrations on the same day in different
locations in municipalities and unincorporated areas of counties has unreasonably
deprived the citizens of the police, fire and emergency services; and
That the provisions herein enacted are necessary for the protection of
the health, welfare and safety of the public.
