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. 29D-29.9. Material support for terrorism.

(a) A person commits the offense of soliciting or providing material support for terrorism
if he or she knowingly raises, solicits, collects, or provides material support or
resources knowing that the material support or resources will be used, in
whole or in part, to plan, prepare, carry out, facilitate, or avoid apprehension for
committing terrorism as defined in Section 29D-14.9 (720 ILCS 5/29D-14.9) or causing a catastrophe as
defined in Section 29D-15.1 (720 ILCS 5/29D-15.1) of
this Code, or who knows and intends that the material support or resources so
raised,
solicited, collected, or provided will be used in the commission of a terrorist act as
defined in Section 29D-10(1) of this Code by an organization designated under
8
U.S.C. 1189, as amended. It is not an element of the offense that the defendant
actually knows that an organization has been designated under 8 U.S.C. 1189, as
amended.

(b) Sentence. Soliciting or providing material support for terrorism is a Class
X felony for which the sentence shall be a term of imprisonment of no less than
9 years and no more than 40 years.
