SB0165 Summary

• Amends Section 1-2 of the School Code (105 ILCS 5/1-2) concerning construction and interpretation of the Code.
• Makes a technical change by modifying the opening language of the construction provision from "The" to "The" (clarifies grammatical article usage).
• Preserves the existing legal principle that provisions of the School Code matching prior statutes are construed as continuations, not new enactments.
• Maintains the rule that references to prior Acts or sections in other statutes are held to refer to those provisions as continued in the current School Code.
• Introduced February 9, 2021, by Senator Scott M. Bennett during the 102nd General Assembly.
