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.

305 ILCS 5/5C-3

(305 ILCS 5/5C-3) (from Ch. 23, par. 5C-3)

Sec. 5C-3. Payment of assessment; penalty.

(a) The assessment imposed by Section 5C-2 for a State
fiscal year shall be due and payable in quarterly installments,
each equalling one-fourth of the assessment for the year, on
September 30, December 31, March 31, and May 31 of the year.

(b) The Illinois Department is authorized to establish
delayed payment schedules for care providers for persons with a developmental disability that are unable to make installment payments when due
under this Section due to financial difficulties, as determined
by the Illinois Department.

(c) If a care provider for persons with a developmental disability fails to
pay the full amount of an installment when due (including any
extensions granted under subsection (b)), there shall, unless
waived by the Illinois Department for reasonable cause, be added
to the assessment imposed by Section 5C-2 for the State fiscal
year a penalty assessment equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the
amount of the installment not paid on or before the due date plus
5% of the portion thereof remaining unpaid on the last day of
each month thereafter or (ii) 100% of the installment amount not
paid on or before the due date.  For purposes of this subsection,
payments will be credited first to unpaid installment amounts
(rather than to penalty or interest), beginning with the most
delinquent installments.
