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.

(710 ILCS 20/4) (from Ch. 37, par. 854)

Sec. 4.

(a) Subject to the supervisory authority of the Supreme Court, the
Chief Judge of each judicial circuit in which a
dispute resolution fund has been established shall annually make grant
disbursements from the fund to dispute resolution centers within the
judicial circuit which meet the
criteria in Section 4 of this Act.

(b) Disbursements by the Chief Judge shall be made to qualified dispute
resolution centers within a judicial circuit based on each center's
proportionate share of the total number of cases resolved by all qualified
centers in that circuit during the year prior to application.

(c) In no event shall the disbursement to any dispute resolution center
in one year exceed $300,000.  Any amounts collected under Section 3 but not
disbursed in a particular year shall:

(1) in single-county judicial circuits, be paid to

the county treasurer for the administration of justice in the judicial circuit; and

(2) in judicial circuits of more than one county, be

paid to the county treasurers of each county of the judicial circuit for the administration of justice in the judicial circuit, in amounts in proportion to the amounts of the disbursements made by each of the county treasurers to the fund during the year.

(d) A dispute resolution center may accept funds from other public
entities or private sources.
