Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    (305 ILCS 25/27) (from Ch. 23, par. 1210)
    Sec. 27.

If the parent, guardian, or other person is unable to furnish such transportation or proper and necessary clothing, and is not eligible for or receiving public assistance, then the circuit court for the county in which the child resides or may be found, on application of any citizen of the county, shall make an order directing that the child be taken to such school as the court, in consultation with the parent, guardian or other person deems for the best interest of the child, and for the furnishing of transportation for that purpose including a custodian, preferably the parent or guardian, and also for the furnishing of suitable clothing, if necessary, which expense shall be advanced by the sheriff and allowed by the county board. Such order shall also include an allowance for the return of the child at suitable intervals.
