Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    Sec. 4-213. Medium and time of settlement by bank.
    (a) With respect to settlement by a bank, the medium and time of settlement may be prescribed by Federal Reserve regulations or circulars, clearing-house rules, and the like, or agreement. In the absence of such prescription:
        (1) the medium of settlement is cash or credit to an
    
account in a Federal Reserve Bank of or specified by the person to receive settlement; and
        (2) the time of settlement is:
            (i) with respect to tender of settlement by cash,
        
a cashier's check, or teller's check, when the cash or check is sent or delivered;
            (ii) with respect to tender of settlement by
        
credit in an account in a Federal Reserve Bank, when the credit is made;
            (iii) with respect to tender of settlement by a
        
credit or debit to an account in a bank, when the credit or debit is made or, in the case of tender of settlement by authority to charge an account, when the authority is sent or delivered; or
            (iv) with respect to tender of settlement by a
        
funds transfer, when payment is made pursuant to Section 4A-406(a) to the person receiving settlement.
    (b) If the tender of settlement is not by a medium authorized by subsection (a) or the time of settlement is not fixed by subsection (a), no settlement occurs until the tender of settlement is accepted by the person receiving settlement.
    (c) If settlement for an item is made by cashier's check or teller's check and the person receiving settlement, before its midnight deadline:
        (1) presents or forwards the check for collection,
    
settlement is final when the check is finally paid; or
        (2) fails to present or forward the check for
    
collection, settlement is final at the midnight deadline of the person receiving settlement.
    (d) If settlement for an item is made by giving authority to charge the account of the bank giving settlement in the bank receiving settlement, settlement is final when the charge is made by the bank receiving settlement if there are funds available in the account for the amount of the item.
