276 Ill. App. 276 Ill. App. Thus, the question before us is one of statutory construction. A decision by one district of the appellate court is not binding upon other districts. 176 Ill. App.
Statutory construction is an issue of law and our review is therefore de novo.
The primary rule of statutory construction, to which all other rules are subordinate, is to ascertain and give effect to the true intent and meaning of the legislature. A court's inquiry into legislative intent begins with the language of the statute taken as a whole and considering all relevant parts. In construing a statute, a court should not, under the guise of statutory construction, add requirements or impose limitations that are inconsistent with the plain meaning of the enactment. In construing a statute, a court must consider every part of the statute, including its title. We may not presume a surplusage in construing a statute, and we must, if possible, give each word, clause, or sentence some reasonable meaning.
