Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 6-222. Administrative review.

(a) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all
amendments and modifications thereof and the rules adopted
pursuant thereto shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial
review of final administrative decisions of the retirement board hereunder.
The term "administrative decision" is as defined in Section 3-101 of the
Code of Civil Procedure.

(b) If any fireman whose application for either a duty disability benefit
under Section 6-151 or for an occupational disease disability benefit under
Section 6-151.1 has been denied by the Retirement Board brings an action for
administrative review challenging the denial of disability benefits and the
fireman prevails in the action in administrative review, then the prevailing
fireman shall be entitled to recover from the Fund court costs and litigation
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, as part of the costs of the
action.
