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.

25 ILCS 60/7

(25 ILCS 60/7) (from Ch. 63, par. 42.67)

Sec. 7.

Whenever any committee of either house reports any bill with amendments
of such a nature as will affect the number of judges in the State as stated
in the judicial note relating to the measure at the time of its referral to
the committee, there shall be included with the report of the committee a
statement of the effect of the change proposed by the amendment reported as
desired by a majority of the committee. In like manner, whenever any
measure is amended on the floor of either house in such manner as to affect
the number of judges in the State as stated in the judicial note relating
to the measure prior to such amendment, a majority of such house may
propose that no action shall be taken upon the amendment until the sponsor
of the amendment shows to the members a statement of the judicial effect of
his proposed amendment.
