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.

RESIDENTIAL PICKETING

720 ILCS 5/21.1-1

(720 ILCS 5/21.1-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 21.1-1)

Sec. 21.1-1.

Legislative finding and declaration.

The Legislature finds and declares that men in a free society have the
right to quiet enjoyment of their homes; that the stability of community
and family life cannot be maintained unless the right to privacy and a
sense of security and peace in the home are respected and encouraged; that
residential picketing, however just the cause inspiring it, disrupts home,
family and communal life; that residential picketing is inappropriate in
our society, where the jealously guarded rights of free speech and assembly
have always been associated with respect for the rights of others. For
these reasons the Legislature finds and declares this Article to be
necessary.

peacefully picketing his own residence or dwelling and does not prohibit

(720 ILCS 5/Art. 21.2 heading) ARTICLE 21.2. INTERFERENCE WITH A PUBLIC

INSTITUTION OF EDUCATION

(Source: P.A. 96-807, eff. 1-1-10.)

720 ILCS 5/21.2-1

(720 ILCS 5/21.2-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 21.2-1)

Sec. 21.2-1.

The General Assembly, in recognition of unlawful campus and school disorders across
the nation which are disruptive of the educational process, dangerous to
the health and safety of persons, damaging to public and private property,
and which divert the use of institutional facilities from the primary
function of education, establishes by this Act criminal penalties for
conduct declared in this Article to be unlawful. However, this Article does
not modify or supersede any other law relating to damage to persons or
property, nor does it prevent a public institution of education from
establishing restrictions upon the availability or use of any building or
other facility owned, operated or controlled by the institution to preserve
their dedication to education, nor from establishing standards of
scholastic and behavioral conduct reasonably relevant to the missions,
processes and functions of the institution, nor from invoking appropriate
discipline or expulsion for violations of such standards.
