SECTION 103.10 RESIDENCY DEFINED
Section 103.10 Residency
Defined
Residency as defined by the
Illinois Supreme Court shall govern this Act as follows: "Residence
ordinarily means that a person has his home in a particular place. This
involves the question of intent with which he is staying in that place. If a person
goes to a place with the intention of remaining for a limited time, although in
point of fact he may remain for a year or more, still does not constitute him a
resident. It is his intent accompanied by his acts, and not the lapse of time,
which determines whether he is a resident of the particular place. The word
"resident" is in common usage and is generally understood to mean one
having more than mere physical presence."
