• Compiled & Revised Statues for Illinois – “Every so often, the laws passed by the Illinois Territorial and State legislatures were collected and published at various times through Illinois history. These collections have been published as volumes of compiled or revised statutes. Compiled statutes are a collection of the existing State laws that have been arranged to make them easier to consult and use. Revised statutes are collections of laws that have been collected, arranged, updated and then approved or re-enacted by the General Assembly. The following volumes of compiled and revised statutes are available online for the State of Illinois.” [thanks, Michael!]
