(305 ILCS 5/12-10.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 12-10.1)

Sec. 12-10.1. Local Initiative Fund - Uses. There is hereby created the Local Initiative Fund in the State Treasury. The Local Initiative Fund is created for the purpose of receiving and disbursing monies in accordance with the provisions of the Social Services Block Grant of the federal Social Security Act and related rules and regulations, as now or hereafter amended, governing the use of such monies.

Expenditures from the Local Initiative Fund shall be made for services contained in the Projected Expenditure Report required of the State under the Social Services Block Grant of the federal Social Security Act. The Local Initiative Fund shall be administered by the Illinois Department, which shall expend monies appropriated from such fund by the Illinois General Assembly for the purchase and provision of social services. The Illinois Department shall execute a written contract for the purchase of social services from persons qualified to provide such services. Such contract shall be filed with the Illinois Department and the State Comptroller.

There shall be paid into the Local Initiative Fund the following monies:

1. Federal funds paid to the State as reimbursement for expenditures from the Local Initiative Fund made according to the provisions of the federal Social Services Block Grant.

2. Payments by the Illinois Department for the purpose of reimbursing the Local Initiative Fund for expenditures for services not approved for federal reimbursement under the Social Security Block Grant of the federal Social Security Act either by the Illinois Department or by the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Such payments shall be made by the Illinois Department in the amount that the Director of the Illinois Department has determined was not caused by the failure of a provider of services to comply with the provisions of a service contract or the provisions of the Social Services Block Grant of the federal Social Security Act and related rules and regulations as now or hereafter amended. Any such expenditures for services not approved for federal reimbursement which are subsequently paid into the Social Services Block Grant Fund shall be transferred into the General Revenue Fund.
