Which specific state statutes correspond to the 23 states ICNL lists and what are their exact statutory texts?

1. What the request actually asks and why it matters

The user is asking for two things: identification of the exact statute citations ICNL associates with 23 named states, and the verbatim statutory texts those citations contain; that requires both ICNL’s mapping (which statutes ICNL lists for each state) and the primary‑source statute texts found in state codes or official legislative repositories (ICNL’s resource page provides statutory links but the provided reporting doesn’t include the 23‑state mapping or the full texts themselves) ^[1].

2. What the available reporting shows about ICNL’s inventory

ICNL’s U.S. state racketeering resources page presents a list of state racketeering and related laws and asserts it provides links to the relevant statutes; ICNL also notes that 38 states have racketeering laws in addition to the federal RICO statute, which implies ICNL’s list is extensive and linked rather than reproducing full texts on that page ^[1]. ICNL’s broader report on state domestic terrorism statutes similarly catalogs statutory frameworks across states but in the provided excerpt does not reproduce full texts for a delimited 23‑state set ^[4].

3. Concrete limitation in the reporting: exact statutory texts are not present

The documents and webpages supplied in the search results do not contain a compiled set of the verbatim statutory texts for a 23‑state subset; ICNL’s page claims to link to statutes but the captured snippets do not include those statute texts or a named list of 23 states, so producing exact statutory language from these sources is not possible here ^[1]. Without those linked pages or direct copies of state code sections in the provided material, any verbatim “exact statutory texts” would require fetching the primary source from each state code publisher.

4. How to obtain the exact statutory texts—and an Illinois example

To answer the request definitively, the correct method is to use ICNL’s page to identify the statute citation for each state, then retrieve the full statutory text from the official state code or legislature site (ICNL’s page supplies links to statutes where available) ^[1]. For Illinois, the official Illinois General Assembly site hosts the Illinois Compiled Statutes and chapter tables of contents—these are the authoritative texts to quote verbatim rather than secondary sites ^{[2] [3]}. Secondary repositories such as Justia, FindLaw, and annotated commercial codes can assist with search and context but the official legislature site is the primary source ^{[5] [6] [7]}.

5. Metadata, agendas and verification: why source provenance matters

ICNL is a legal‑policy NGO that curates and links state statutory material—its list is a research tool rather than the legal text itself, so citation chaining to state legislative or official code sites is essential to avoid transcription errors or selection bias ^{[1] [4]}. Legislators’ and commercial platforms’ reproductions can diverge in formatting or timeliness, so researchers should cross‑check changes and effective dates on the official state legislative site (the Illinois site warns that some recent public acts may not yet be fully edited into the compiled statutes) ^[2].

6. Practical next step summary and final assessment

ICNL’s resource is the correct starting point to identify which statute corresponds to each state entry, and the official state code or legislature website (e.g., Illinois General Assembly for Illinois) is the authoritative place to copy the exact statutory text ^{[1] [2] [3]}; however, based solely on the provided reporting, it is not possible here to produce the verbatim statutory texts for the 23 states because those texts or the specific 23‑state mapping were not included among the supplied sources ^{[1] [4]}.
