(5 ILCS 70/1.34) (from Ch. 1, par. 1035)
    Sec. 1.34. This Section applies to citations in one Act to another Act or to the general law on a subject, whether or not the citation also contains a modifying phrase such as "as amended", "as now or hereafter amended", "in effect from time to time", or a similar phrase. A citation to another Act or to the general law on a subject refers to that other Act or general law in effect from time to time. Initially, the citation refers to that other Act or general law in effect at the time the new or amendatory Act containing the citation becomes law. At any time thereafter, the citation refers to that other Act or general law as amended or otherwise modified up to that time.
