(105 ILCS 105/9c) (from Ch. 122, par. 1409c)
Sec. 9c.
(a) Public school districts that have received corrective
action reimbursement or grants pursuant to this Act shall cooperate fully
with the Attorney General in litigation to recover costs of corrective
action. The Attorney General may, in his discretion, take exclusive charge
of such litigation. Any amounts recovered, less costs of litigation, shall
be divided pro rata between the grantee public school district and the
Asbestos Abatement Fund, based upon the percentage of costs of corrective
action borne by the State and the school district, respectively.
(b) Any nonpublic school which has received a grant or reimbursement
pursuant to this Act, and which subsequently recovers costs of corrective
action through litigation, shall reimburse the State from such recovery.
The percentage of the recovery reimbursed to the State shall equal the
percentage of costs of corrective action initially borne by the State. All
reimbursements paid to the State under this subsection shall be deposited
in the Asbestos Abatement Fund.
