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.
(735 ILCS 5/11-303) (from Ch. 110, par. 11-303)
Sec. 11-303.
Action by private citizen.
Such action, when prosecuted by
a citizen and taxpayer of the State,
shall be commenced by petition for leave to file an action to restrain and
enjoin the defendant or defendants from disbursing the public funds of
the State. Such petition shall have attached thereto a copy of the
complaint, leave to file which is petitioned for. Upon the filing of
such petition, it shall be presented to the court, and the court
shall enter an order stating the date of the presentation of the petition and
fixing a day, which shall not be less than 5 nor more than 10 days
thereafter, when such petition for leave to file the action will be heard.
The court shall also order the petitioner to give notice in writing to
each defendant named therein and to the Attorney General, specifying in
such notice the fact of the presentation of such petition and the date and time
when the same will be heard. Such notice shall be served upon the
defendants and upon the Attorney General, as the case may be, at least 5
days before the hearing of such petition.
Upon such hearing, if the court is satisfied that there is
reasonable ground for the filing of such action, the court may grant the
petition and order the complaint to be filed and process to issue. The
court may, in its discretion, grant leave to file the complaint as to
certain items, parts or portions of any appropriation Act sought to be
enjoined and mentioned in such complaint, and may deny leave as to the
rest.
