Sec. 5-702.
Payment of motor fuel tax money to any county for the purposes stated in
Sections 5-701.1 through 5-701.11 shall be made by the Department of
Transportation as soon as may be after the allotment is made.
However, if any county, after having been given reasonable notice by the
Department, fails to expend motor fuel tax funds in a manner satisfactory
to the Department or fails to have construction contracts approved by the
Department or fails to maintain in a manner satisfactory to the Department
highways heretofore or hereafter constructed with motor fuel tax funds, no
further payment of motor fuel tax funds shall be made to such county for
construction or maintenance purposes until it corrects its unsatisfactory
use of motor fuel tax funds or secures approval of its construction
contracts by the Department or maintains such highways or provides for such
maintenance in a manner satisfactory to the Department.
Records of all expenditures of motor fuel tax money made by the county
shall be kept in accordance with the system of auditing and accounting
prescribed by the Department under Section 4-101.9 of this Code.
