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.

705 ILCS 105/12.1

(705 ILCS 105/12.1)
Sec. 12.1. Electronic notice.

The circuit clerk may provide notice to a party by hard copy or by electronic notice, pursuant to a uniform and standard policy adopted by the circuit clerk.  A recipient may elect to receive notices by hard copy or electronically via the electronic address he or she has registered with the circuit clerk.  The clerk must provide notice in the format chosen by the recipient.  When providing notice electronically, the circuit clerk shall maintain a copy of the electronic content and a delivery receipt as part of the records of his or her office.  Administrative communications of either the clerk or the court are not subject to the electronic notice requirements.   If all policies and statutes are complied with, electronic notices shall have the same effect as hard copy notices.
