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.



805 ILCS 10/6

    (805 ILCS 10/6) (from Ch. 32, par. 415-6)
    Sec. 6. One or more individuals each of whom is licensed to perform the same professional service or related professional services in this State may organize a professional corporation by filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State on forms furnished by the Secretary. Such articles of incorporation shall meet the requirements of the "Business Corporation Act of 1983" and in addition thereto state the specific profession or related professions to be practiced by the professional corporation.
    A professional corporation may be organized under this Act only for the purpose of rendering one specific type of professional service and services ancillary thereto; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a professional corporation from organizing under this Act where that corporation is organized for the purpose of rendering related professional services and services ancillary thereto; and provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit an attorney licensed to practice law in Illinois from signing and acting as initial incorporator on behalf of such corporation.
