CRIMINAL LAW-TECH
HB 1487 is a technical correction to the short title of Illinois' Criminal Code of 2012. It modifies Section 1-1 of the code to fix redundant wording in its official citation ("the the Criminal Code" → "the Criminal Code"). The bill does not change any criminal laws, penalties, or procedures - only how the code is formally referenced in legal documents. It directly affects official court records, legal filings, and state publications that cite the Criminal Code. This is a procedural update with no substantive policy impact.
