Law of Illinois

The Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) form the general statutory law.

Pursuant to the state constitution, the Illinois General Assembly has enacted legislation.

[2][3] The Illinois Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) makes additions, deletions, and changes to ILCS.

[8] The General Assembly's Joint Committee on Administrative Rules also publishes online versions.

[9] The Flinn Report is a weekly newsletter published by the Joint Committee meant to inform and educate Illinois citizens about current rulemaking activity.

[10][11][12] There are also unofficial sources such as West's Illinois Decisions (an Illinois-specific version of the North Eastern Reporter) with opinions since 1886.

[14] Illinois counties, townships, cities, and villages may promulgate local ordinances.

[19][20] Shepard's Illinois Citations includes judicial interpretations of local ordinances.

[22] However, recognition of the tort was statutorily abrogated at the beginning of 2016, pursuant to the Alienation of Affections Abolition Act.
