Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.

        (4) increasing the inventory and affordability of
    
housing choices for people earning between 80% and 140% of the area median income, termed the missing middle, also helps preserve affordable housing, prevents homelessness, and encourages investment in more inclusive, mixed-income communities throughout the State; and
        (5) studying the inventory and affordability gaps
    
that affect the missing middle is also crucial to ensuring workforce and retirement housing in the State.
