CIVIL LAW-TECH
SB 16 is a procedural bill that makes a technical correction to the short title of Illinois' Code of Civil Procedure. It updates Section 1-101 to change how the law is officially cited (e.g., "Code of Civil Procedure" instead of the current phrasing), without altering any substantive legal rules or procedures. This bill directly affects how the statute is referenced in legal documents but does not change civil court processes, rights, or obligations for Illinois residents. The change is purely administrative and has no impact on court operations or public policy.
