Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

(770 ILCS 60/21.02)
Sec. 21.02. Construction Trust Funds.
(a) Money held in trust; trustees. Any owner, contractor, subcontractor, or
supplier of any tier who requests or requires the execution and delivery of a
waiver of mechanics lien by any person who furnishes labor, services, material, fixtures, apparatus or machinery, forms or form work for the improvement of a lot or a tract of land in exchange for
payment or the promise of payment, shall hold in trust the sums received by such person as the result of the waiver of mechanics lien, as trustee for the person who furnished the
labor, services, material, fixtures, apparatus or machinery, forms or form work or the person otherwise entitled to payment in exchange for such waiver.
(b) How trust moneys held; commingling. Nothing contained in this Section
shall be construed as requiring moneys held in trust by an owner, contractor,
subcontractor, or material supplier under this Section to be placed in a
separate account. If an owner, contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier
commingles moneys held in trust under this Section with other moneys, the mere
commingling of the moneys does not constitute a violation of this Section.
(c) Violation of this Section. Any owner, contractor, subcontractor, or
material supplier
who knowingly retains or used the moneys held in trust under this Section or
any part thereof, for any purpose other than to pay those for whom the
moneys are held in trust, shall be liable to any person who successfully
enforces his or her rights under this Section for all damages sustained by that
person.
