CRIMINAL LAW-TECH
HB 1491 is a procedural bill that makes a technical correction to the citation format of Illinois' "Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963." It amends Section 100-1 to update the short title wording from "This Act shall be known and may be cited as..." to the correct phrasing "This Act shall be known and may be cited as..." (fixing a redundant "and"). This change solely affects how the law is formally referenced in legal documents and has no impact on criminal procedure or the public. The bill does not alter any substantive laws or create new obligations.
