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.

(765 ILCS 1026/15-608)

Sec. 15-608. Administrator's options as to custody.

(a) The administrator may decline to take custody of property reported under Section 15-401 if the administrator determines that:

(1) the property has a value less than the estimated

expenses of notice and sale of the property; or

(2) taking custody of the property would be unlawful.

(b) A holder may pay or deliver property to the administrator before the property is presumed abandoned under this Act if the holder:

(1) provides the apparent owner of the property any

notice required by Section 15-501 and provides the administrator evidence of the holder's compliance with this paragraph;

(2) includes with the payment or delivery a report

regarding the property conforming to Section 15-402; and

(3) first obtains the administrator's consent in a

record to accept payment or delivery.

(c) A holder's request for the administrator's consent under subsection (b)(3) must be in a record.  If the administrator fails to respond to the request not later than 30 days after receipt of the request, the administrator is deemed to consent to the payment or delivery of the property and the payment or delivery is considered to have been made in good faith.

(d) On payment or delivery of property under subsection (b), the property is presumed abandoned.
