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.
(705 ILCS 90/1-5)
Sec. 1-5. Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to improve the safety and security of Illinois judicial
officers to ensure they are able to administer justice fairly without fear of personal
reprisal from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the course of carrying out
their public function.
This Act is not intended to restrain a judicial officer from independently making
public his or her own personal information. Additionally, no government agency, person,
business, or association has any obligation under this Act to protect the privacy of a judicial officer's personal information until the judicial officer makes a written request that his or her personal information not be publicly posted.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impair free access to decisions and opinions
expressed by judicial officers in the course of carrying out their public functions.
