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.

20 ILCS 3501/835-5

(20 ILCS 3501/835-5)
Sec. 835-5. Legislative findings.

The General Assembly hereby finds and declares the following: (i) that there is an inadequate supply of funds available in this State at rates sufficiently low to enable veterans to own and operate small businesses
successfully in this State; (ii) such an inadequate supply of funds makes the
transition of veterans from service in the armed forces of the United States to civilian life more difficult and results in increased unemployment of veterans and its attendant problems; (iii) that there have been recurrent shortages of funds available to small businesses owned and operated by veterans in this State from private market sources at reasonable interest rates; and (iv) that the ordinary operations of
private enterprise have not in the past corrected these conditions.
