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.

(405 ILCS 5/3-818) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-818)

Sec. 3-818. Fees; costs.

(a) Fees for jury service, witnesses, and service and execution
of process are the same as for similar services in civil proceedings.

(b) Except as provided under subsection (c) of this Section, the court
may assess costs of the proceedings against the parties.
If the respondent is not a resident of the county in which the hearing is
held and the party against whom the court would otherwise assess costs has
insufficient funds to pay the costs, the court may enter an order upon the
State to pay the cost of the proceedings, from funds appropriated by the
General Assembly for that purpose.

(c) If the respondent is a party against whom the court would otherwise
assess costs and that respondent is determined by the court to have
insufficient funds to pay the cost of transcripts for the purpose of appeal,
the
court shall enter an order upon the State to pay the cost of one original and
one
copy of a transcript of proceedings established under this Code.  Payment of
transcript costs authorized under this subsection (c) shall be paid from funds
appropriated by the General Assembly to the Comptroller.
