For purposes of this Section, "net amount" means that part of the salary or wage payment remaining after the deduction of any amounts required by law to be deducted and "debt due and owing" means (i) a specified sum of money owed to the municipality, county, the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the Chicago Park District, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, the Chicago Transit Authority, the Chicago Board of Education, or housing authority for services, work, or goods, after the period granted for payment has expired, or (ii) a specified sum of money owed to the municipality, county, the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the Chicago Park District, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, the Chicago Transit Authority, the Chicago Board of Education or housing authority pursuant to a court order or order of an administrative hearing officer after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust, judicial review. Where the legitimacy of any deduction from wages is in dispute, the amount in question may be withheld if the employer notifies the Department of Labor on the date the payment is due in writing of the amount that is being withheld and stating the reasons for which the payment is withheld. Upon such notification the Department of Labor shall conduct an investigation and render a judgment as promptly as possible, and shall complete such investigation within 30 days of receipt of the notification by the employer that wages have been withheld. The employer shall pay the wages due upon order of the Department of Labor within 15 calendar days of issuance of a judgment on the dispute. The Department shall establish rules to protect the interests of both parties in cases of disputed deductions from wages. Such rules shall include reasonable limitations on the amount of deductions beyond those required by law which may be made during any pay period by any employer. In case of a dispute over wages, the employer shall pay, without condition and within the time set by this Act, all wages or parts thereof, conceded by him to be due, leaving to the employee all remedies to which he may otherwise be entitled as to any balance claimed. The acceptance by an employee of a disputed paycheck shall not constitute a release as to the balance of his claim and any release or restrictive endorsement required by an employer as a condition to payment shall be a violation of this Act and shall be void.

Legislative findings. (a) The General Assembly finds that in this State the following conditions exist: (1) There exists an inadequate supply of funds at interest rates sufficiently low to enable persons engaged in agriculture in this State to pursue agricultural or agribusiness operations at present levels. (2) The inability to pursue agricultural operations lessens the supply of agricultural commodities available to fulfill the needs of the citizens of this State. (3) The inability to continue operations decreases available employment in the agricultural sector of the State and results in unemployment and its attendant problems. (4) These conditions prevent the acquisition of an adequate capital stock of farm equipment and machinery, much of which is manufactured in this State, therefore impairing the productivity of agricultural land and causing unemployment or lack of appropriate increase in employment in that manufacturing. (5) These conditions are conducive to consolidation of acreage of agricultural land with fewer individuals living and farming on the traditional family farm. (6) These conditions result in a loss in population, unemployment, and movement of persons from rural to urban areas accompanied by added costs to communities for creation of new public facilities and services. (7) There have been recurrent shortages of funds from private market sources at reasonable rates of interest. (8) The ordinary operations of private enterprise have not in the past corrected these conditions. (9) There is a need for value-added products and processing in this State. (10) A stable supply of adequate funds for agricultural financing is required to encourage family farmers and agribusiness in an orderly and sustained manner and to reduce the problems described in this Section. (b) The General Assembly determines and declares that there exist conditions in the State that require the Department to issue grants on
41 [March 23, 2001] behalf of the State for the acquisition and development of agricultural facilities and value-added products and processing. Section 15. Infrastructure Development Advisory Board for Agriculture; grant requirements. (a) The Infrastructure Development Advisory Board for Agriculture is created in the Department of Agriculture.
