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.

(415 ILCS 5/59.13)
Sec. 59.13. Carbon Sequestration Long-Term Trust Fund.

The Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Long-Term Trust Fund is hereby created as a State trust fund in the State treasury. The Fund may receive deposits of moneys made available from any source. All moneys in the Fund are to be invested and reinvested by the State Treasurer. All interest accruing from these investments shall be deposited into the Fund to be used under the provisions of this Section. Moneys in the Fund may be used by the Agency to cover costs incurred to:

(1) take any remedial or corrective action necessary

to protect human health and the environment from releases, or threatened releases, from a sequestration facility;

(2) monitor, inspect, or take other action if the

sequestration operator abandons a sequestration facility or injection site, or fails to maintain its obligations under this Act;

(3) compensate any person suffering any damages or

losses to a person or property caused by a release from a sequestration facility or carbon dioxide pipeline who is not otherwise compensated from the sequestration operator; or

(4) any other applicable costs under the Act.

Nothing in this Section relieves a sequestration operator from its obligations under this Act, from its liability under Section 59.12, or its obligations to maintain insurance and financial assurances under Sections 59.10 and 59.11.
