Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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. 212. Official gubernatorial portraits.

(a)        The portraits of the Governors of Illinois, painted or otherwise created as visual images, displayed in the State Capitol shall be the official State portraits of the Governors of Illinois.

(b)       No portrait or other image of any person who has served as Governor of Illinois and who has been removed from that office by impeachment and conviction shall be financed or paid for by the State or any State entity or with State funds.  Notwithstanding this prohibition, a portrait or image of such a person may be displayed or otherwise placed in the State Capitol, and the State may maintain such official State portrait of that person among the official State portraits of the Governors of Illinois.
