5 ILCS 440/ Time Standardization Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

and at two o'clock ante meridian of the first Sunday in November of each
year the standard time in this State shall, by the retarding of one

United States standard central time: Provided, however, that nothing in
this Act shall be so construed as to be in contravention of any federal
law or authorized order of the Interstate Commerce Commission with
respect to the time zones of the United States. And in all laws,

to the time of
performance of any act of any officer or department of this State, or of
any county, township, city or town, municipal corporation, agency or

subject to the jurisdiction of the State, and in all the public schools
and in all institutions of the State, or of any county, township, city
or town, municipal corporation, agency or instrumentality of the State
or school district or school authority, and in all contracts or choses
in action made or to be performed in the State, it shall be understood
and intended that the time shall be the time prescribed in this Section.

If the date on which time is to be advanced one hour, the date on which time is to be retarded one hour, or both, as set forth under Section 260a of the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. 260a), as now or hereafter amended, renumbered, or succeeded, differs from either or both of those dates as set forth under this Section, then the dates set forth under the federal law shall control and shall apply in Illinois, notwithstanding the dates set forth in this Section.
