720 ILCS 5/ Criminal Code of 2012.

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.

TERRORISM

Sec. 29D-5.

Legislative findings.

The devastating consequences of the
barbaric attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11,
2001 underscore the compelling need for legislation that is specifically
designed to combat the evils of terrorism.
 Terrorism is inconsistent with civilized society and cannot be
tolerated.

A comprehensive State law is urgently needed to complement federal
laws in the fight against terrorism and to better protect all citizens against
terrorist acts. Accordingly, the legislature finds that our laws must be
strengthened to ensure that terrorists, as well as those who solicit or provide
financial and other support to terrorists, are prosecuted and punished in State
courts with appropriate severity. The legislature further finds that due to the
grave nature and global reach of terrorism that a comprehensive law
encompassing State criminal statutes and strong civil remedies is needed.

An investigation may not be initiated or continued for activities
protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, including
expressions of support or the provision of financial support for the nonviolent
political, religious, philosophical, or ideological goals or beliefs of any
person or group.
