Illinois Compiled Statutes

The Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) are the codified statutes of a general and permanent nature of Illinois. The compilation organizes the general Acts of Illinois into 67 chapters arranged within 9 major topic areas. The ILCS took effect in 1993, replacing the previous numbering scheme generally known as the Illinois Revised Statutes (Ill. Rev. Stat.), the latest of which had been adopted in 1874 but appended by private publishers since.
