(605 ILCS 10/18) (from Ch. 121, par. 100-18)
Sec. 18.
The sums of money appropriated by the General Assembly for the
payment of ordinary and contingent expenses of the Authority or the payment
of compensation of the members of the Authority expended as a part of the
cost of a toll highway financed by revenue bonds issued and sold by the
Authority under this Act shall be repaid to the State Treasury out of the
proceeds of the sale of such bonds, for deposit in the fund from which such
sums were appropriated. Any such sums remaining unpaid because expended for
preliminary investigation of toll highway routes not constructed shall be
repaid by the Authority out of the proceeds of the sale of any of such
bonds issued to finance additional toll highways or extensions of existing
toll highways. If no such new bonds are issued, and the money appropriated
by the General Assembly has not otherwise been repaid in full, then the
Authority shall, after payment of all existing bonds and interest thereon,
continue to collect tolls for the privilege of using the toll highways
constructed pursuant to the authority of "An Act in relation to the
construction, operation, regulation and maintenance of a system of toll
highways and to create The Illinois State Toll Highway Commission, and to
define its powers and duties and to repeal an Act therein named", approved
July 13, 1953, as amended, until such time as the tolls collected are
sufficient to repay any such unpaid money. The tolls so collected shall be
paid by the Authority to the State treasury for deposit in the fund from
which such sums were appropriated.
