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.

720 ILCS 600/6

(720 ILCS 600/6) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 2106)

Sec. 6.

This Act is intended to be used solely for the suppression
of the commercial traffic in and possession of items that,
within the context of the sale
or offering for sale, or possession, are clearly and beyond a reasonable
doubt intended
for the illegal and unlawful use of controlled substances.
To this end all reasonable and common-sense inferences shall be drawn in
favor of the legitimacy of any transaction or item.
