730 ILCS 5/ Unified Code of Corrections.

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. 8-2-2.

Continuation of prior law.

The provisions of this Code insofar as they are the same or
substantially the same as those of any prior statute, shall be construed as
a continuation of such prior statute and not as a new enactment.

If in any other statute reference is made to an Act of the General
Assembly, or a Section of such an Act, which is continued in this Code such
reference shall be held to refer to the Act or Section thereof so continued
in this Code.

Existing indebtedness.

Any bond or other evidence of indebtedness issued under the provisions
of any Act repealed by this Code which is outstanding and unpaid on the
effective date of this Code shall be amortized and retired by taxation or
revenue in the manner provided by the Act under which such indebtedness was
incurred, notwithstanding the repeal of such Act.

However, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to
prevent the refunding of any such indebtedness under the provisions of this
Code or as may be otherwise provided by law.
