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. 15. Posting of fee schedule and disclosures. (a) A facilitator shall display a schedule showing the current fees for refund anticipation
loans, if refund anticipation loans are offered, or refund anticipation checks, if refund anticipation checks are offered, facilitated at the office. (b) A facilitator who offers refund anticipation loans shall display on each fee schedule examples of the refund anticipation loan
interest rates for refund anticipation loans of at least 5 different amounts, such as $300, $500, $1,000, $1,500, $2,000, and $5,000. The refund anticipation loan interest rate shall be calculated as set forth in Section 5 of this Act. (c) A facilitator who offers refund anticipation loans shall also prominently display on each fee schedule: (i) a legend, centered,
in bold, capital letters, and in one-inch letters stating: "NOTICE CONCERNING REFUND
ANTICIPATION LOANS" and (ii) the following verbatim statement: "When you take out a
refund anticipation loan, you are borrowing money against your tax refund. If your tax refund is
less than expected, you will still owe the entire amount of the loan. If your refund is delayed,
you may have to pay additional costs. YOU CAN GET YOUR REFUND IN 8 TO 15 DAYS
WITHOUT PAYING ANY EXTRA FEES AND TAKING OUT A LOAN. You can have your
tax return filed electronically and your refund direct deposited into your own financial institution account
without obtaining a loan or paying fees for an extra product.". (d) The postings required by this Section shall be made in no less than 28-point type on a
document measuring no less than 16 inches by 20 inches. The postings required by this Section
shall be displayed in a prominent location at each office where the facilitator is facilitating
refund anticipation loans. (e) A facilitator may not facilitate a refund anticipation loan or refund anticipation check unless (i) the disclosures required by this Section are displayed and (ii) the fee actually charged for the
refund anticipation loan or refund anticipation check is the same as the fee displayed on the
schedule.
