(15 ILCS 405/10.14) (from Ch. 15, par. 210.14)
Sec. 10.14.
If a warrant drawn upon the State Treasury or any other fund held by
the treasurer is returned uncashed or redeposited by the comptroller or
if a warrant has been cashed but the amount for which it was drawn, or any
portion thereof, is
returned to the State treasury or to a separate fund held by the State
Treasurer by reason of an erroneous payment or an overpayment, and the
appropriation to which the warrant was charged has not lapsed, the amount
so returned shall be credited to such appropriation and shall be available for
expenditure, but if the appropriation to which the warrant was charged
has lapsed or if the warrant was not charged to an appropriation, the amount
so returned shall be credited to the fund on which the warrant was drawn and
credited to the expenditure authorization to which the warrant was
charged and shall be available for expenditure unless such credit or
availability is otherwise prohibited by law.
When a warrant becomes void and is cancelled under Section 10.07, any
money which has been set aside by the comptroller and the State
Treasurer for the payment of such warrant shall escheat to the State of
Illinois, and shall be paid into the Warrant Escheat Fund. Upon proper proof
that any or all of the monies represented by the void warrant constituted
an overpayment to which the payee was not entitled, a State agency may have
those monies credited to the appropriation to which the void warrant was
charged and the monies shall be available for expenditure, but if that appropriation
has lapsed or if the warrant was not charged to an appropriation the monies
shall be credited to the fund on which the warrant was drawn and credited
to the expenditure authorization to which the warrant was charged and shall
be available for expenditure unless such credit or availability is otherwise
prohibited by law.
