(Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2027) Sec. 33G-10. Continuation and validation of Illinois Street Gang and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Law. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following: (1) When Article 33G was added to this Code by Public Act 97-686, it contained a Section 33G-9, which specified that Article 33G was repealed 5 years after June 11, 2012, the effective date of Public Act 97-686. (2) As a result of several subsequent enactments, including Public Act 103-4, the repeal date of Article 33G was extended to June 1, 2025. (3) Senate Bill 2456 of the 104th General Assembly included a provision that further extended the repeal date of Article 33G from June 1, 2025 to June 1, 2027, but Senate Bill 2456 did not become law until June 16, 2025. (4) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules on the repeal of statutes, but Section 1 of that Act also states that these rules will not be observed when the result would be "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute". (5) The actions of the General Assembly in passing Senate Bill 2456 clearly manifested the intention of the General Assembly to extend the date for the repeal of Article 33G of this Code. (6) Any construction of Section 33G-9 that results in the repeal of Article 33G of this Code on June 1, 2025 would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General Assembly. (b) It is hereby declared to be the intent of the General Assembly that Article 33G of this Code should not be subject to repeal on June 1, 2025 and that the repeal date of Article 33G of this Code should be further extended to July 1, 2027. (c) Article 33G, therefore, shall not be subject to repeal on June 1, 2025 and, instead, shall be deemed to have been in continuous effect since its original effective date and shall remain in effect until it is otherwise lawfully repealed. (d) All actions taken in reliance on or pursuant to Article 33G by any officer or agency of State government or any other person or entity are validated. (e) To ensure the continuing effectiveness of Article 33G of this Code, Article 33G is set forth in full and re-enacted by this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly. This re-enactment is intended as a continuation of Article 33G. It is not intended to supersede any amendment to Article 33G that is enacted by the General Assembly. (f) In this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly, the base text of the reenacted Section is set forth as amended by Public Act 104-10. Striking and underscoring is used only to show additional changes being made to the base text. (g) This amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly applies to all claims, civil actions, and proceedings pending on or filed on, before, or after the effective date of this amendatory Act.
