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.

Sec. 15-9.

Value.

As used in this Part C, the "value" of property consisting of any
commercial instrument or any written instrument representing or embodying
rights concerning anything of value, labor, or services or otherwise of
value to the owner shall be:

(a) The "market value" of such instrument if such instrument is
negotiable and has a market value; and

(b) The "actual value" of such instrument if such instrument is not
negotiable or is otherwise without a market value. For the purpose of
establishing such "actual value", the interest of any owner or owners
entitled to part or all of the property represented by such instrument, by
reason of such instrument, may be shown, even if another "owner" may be
named in the complaint, information or indictment.
