`il_compiled_statute`

Pack: illinois-code · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/il_compiled_statute for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the Illinois Compiled Statutes — Illinois state law — by citation. “720 ILCS 5/9-1” is first degree murder; “625 ILCS 5/11-501” is DUI. Pass the full citation as citation (“225 ILCS 155/30”) or split it into chapter/act/section. Returns the statutory text with a data_as_of timestamp. Keyless. Use for “what does 720 ILCS 5/9-1 say” or to check an Illinois statute a case relies on.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`citation`	string	yes	The full citation in one string, e.g. “225 ILCS 155/30”. Alternative to chapter/act/section — either works.
`chapter`	string	no	ILCS chapter, e.g. “720” (criminal offenses), “625” (vehicles), “750” (families). Omit if passing `citation`.
`act`	string	no	Act number within the chapter — the part after ILCS and before the slash, e.g. “5”. Omit if passing `citation`.
`section`	string	no	Section as cited, e.g. “9-1” or “11-501”. Omit if passing `citation`.
