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.

recognition of
service areas and local boards or local
service systems responsible for the development or coordination of more

recognition
as a local board or local service system for a service area may apply to
the Department for such recognition.  The Department may refuse to renew
or may withdraw recognition of a service area, local board or local service

establishment
of local service systems and may provide for community youth services in
any area of the State where no recognized local board or local services
system exists.
