Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(20 ILCS 1705/16.1) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-16.1)

Sec. 16.1.

At the discretion of the Secretary, to provide
recipients under
Department jurisdiction with monetary remuneration or other incentives on a
graduated scale for work performed as part of their training for useful
employment. Such recipient-workers are exempt from the Personnel Code.

Such remuneration or incentives must be paid solely from funds received
by gift or grant from private sources or the federal government or the
Mental Health Fund or from funds received from the sale of articles from
habilitation workshops. No general revenue funds appropriated to the Department
may be used to pay such remuneration or incentives.

The category of Institutional Helpers may still be paid out of General
Revenue funds.
