Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

In
each county in this State having a population of 500,000 or more
inhabitants a fund to be known as a working cash fund may be created, set

Sec. 6-27002.
Bond issue.
For the purpose of
creating such fund, any such county by
resolution of its county board may incur an indebtedness and issue bonds
therefor in an amount or amounts not exceeding in the aggregate $9,000,000
in addition to bonds in the amount of $11,000,000 heretofore authorized and
issued for that purpose. Such bonds shall bear interest at a rate of not
more than the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as
amended at the time of the making of the contract, and
shall mature within 20 years from the date
thereof. The county board may provide that the resolution or resolutions
authorizing the issue of such bonds shall be operative, effective and
valid, without the submission thereof to the voters of such county for
approval in accordance with the requirements of Section 5-1008. The
county board of such county shall, before or at the
time of issuing such bonds, provide for the collection of a direct annual
tax upon all the taxable property of such county sufficient to pay and
discharge the principal thereof at maturity and to pay the interest thereon
as it falls due.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section or its predecessor either before, on, or after the effective date
of Public Act 86-4, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Division or "An Act
to provide for the creation, setting aside, maintenance and administration
of a working cash fund in counties having a population of five hundred
thousand or more inhabitants", filed June 28, 1930, that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section or its predecessor are not a limitation on the
supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that
instruments issued under this Section or its predecessor within the
supplementary authority granted by the
Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of this Division
or "An Act to provide for the creation, setting aside, maintenance and
administration of a working cash fund in counties having a population of
five hundred thousand or more inhabitants", filed June 28, 1930, that
may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts.

Sec. 6-27003.
Annual tax.
The county board of any such county shall
have the power to levy annually a tax to provide moneys for such working
cash fund at a rate not to exceed .02% of value, as equalized or assessed
by the Department of Revenue. The aggregate amount in such
working cash fund shall never exceed $20,000,000. The collection of any
such tax shall not be anticipated by the issuance of any warrants drawn
against the same. Such tax shall be levied and collected, except as
herein otherwise provided, in like manner with the general taxes of such
county. It shall be known as the working cash fund tax, and shall be in
addition to the maximum of all other taxes and tax rates which such
county is now, or may hereafter be, authorized by law to levy upon the
aggregate valuation of all taxable property within such county. The tax
may be levied by separate resolution on or before the 3rd Tuesday in
September in each year, for the purpose herein authorized, without any
appropriation thereof being made in the resolution termed the annual
appropriations bill, or otherwise.

(55 ILCS 5/6-27004) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-27004)
Sec. 6-27004.
Purposes for which fund may be used;
reimbursement. All moneys received from the issuance of
bonds as herein authorized, or from any tax levied pursuant to the
authority granted by this Division, shall be set apart in said
working cash fund by the county treasurer and shall be used only for the
purposes and in the manner hereinafter provided. Such fund, and the moneys
therein, shall not be regarded as current assets available for
appropriation and shall not be appropriated by the county board in the
resolution termed the annual appropriations bill. The county board may
appropriate moneys to the working cash fund up to the maximum amount
allowable in the fund, and the working cash fund may receive such
appropriations and any other contributions. In order to provide moneys with
which to meet ordinary and necessary disbursements for salaries and other
corporate purposes, such fund and the moneys therein may be transferred, in
whole or in part, to the general corporate fund of the county and so
disbursed therefrom (a) in anticipation of the collection of any taxes
lawfully levied for general corporate purposes, (b) in anticipation of the
receipt of moneys to be derived from fees and commissions to be earned by
the county clerk and the county collector for extending and collecting
taxes levied, or (c) in the anticipation of such taxes, as by law now or
hereafter enacted or amended, imposed by the General Assembly of the State
of Illinois to replace revenue lost by units of local government and school
districts as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property
taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the
State of Illinois. Moneys transferred to the general corporate fund in
anticipation of the collection of taxes shall be deemed to have been
transferred in anticipation of the collection of that part of the taxes so
levied which is in excess of the amount or amounts thereof required to pay
(a) any tax anticipation warrants and the interest thereon, theretofore or
thereafter issued under the provisions of Section two (2) and three (3) of
"An Act to provide for the manner of issuing warrants upon the treasurer of
the State or of any county, township, city, village or other municipal
corporation and jurors' certificates", approved June 27, 1913, as amended, (b)
the aggregate amount of receipts from taxes imposed to replace revenue lost
by units of local government and school districts as a result of the
abolition of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX,
Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, which the corporate
authorities estimate will be set aside for the payment of the proportionate
amount of debt service and pension or retirement obligations, as required by
Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State Revenue Sharing with local
government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and (c) any notes
and the interest thereon, theretofore or thereafter issued under the
provisions of Division 6-2, and such taxes levied for general corporate
purposes when collected shall be applied, first, to the payment of any such
warrant and the interest thereon, the amount estimated to be required to
satisfy debt service and pension or retirement obligations as set forth in
Section 12 of "An Act in relation to State revenue sharing with local
government entities", approved July 31, 1969, as amended, and to the
payment of any such notes and the interest thereon, and then to the
reimbursement of said working cash fund as hereinafter provided. Upon the
receipt by said county treasurer of any taxes, or other moneys, in
anticipation of the collection or receipt whereof moneys of such working
cash fund have been so transferred for disbursement, such fund shall
immediately be reimbursed therefrom until the full amount so transferred
has been re-transferred to such fund. Unless the taxes and other moneys so
received and applied to the reimbursement of the working cash fund, prior
to the close of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the last
tax penalty date fall due shall be sufficient to effect a complete
reimbursement of such fund for any moneys transferred therefrom in
anticipation of the collection or receipt of such taxes, or other moneys,
such working cash fund shall be reimbursed for the amount of the deficiency
therein from any other revenues accruing to said general corporate fund,
and it shall be the duty of the county board to make provision for the
immediate reimbursement of the amount of any such deficiency in its next
resolution termed the annual appropriations bill.

State of Illinois which the county board estimates will be received by
the county for any year, (g) the aggregate amount of receipts from taxes
imposed to replace revenue lost by units of local government and school
districts as a result of the abolition of ad valorem personal property
taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c) of the Constitution of the
State of Illinois, which the corporate authorities estimate will be set
aside for the payment of the proportionate amount of debt service and
pension or retirement obligations, as required by Section 12 of "An Act in
relation to State Revenue Sharing with local government entities", approved
July 31, 1969, as amended, and (h) the aggregate amount of moneys
theretofore transferred from the working cash fund to the general corporate
fund in anticipation of the collection of such taxes or of the receipt of
such other moneys to be derived from fees or commissions or of the receipt
of such taxes, as by law now or hereafter enacted or amended, imposed by
the General Assembly of the State of Illinois to replace revenue lost by
units of local government and school districts as a result of the abolition
of ad valorem personal property taxes, pursuant to Article IX, Section 5(c)
of the Constitution of the State of Illinois. The amount which any such
resolution shall direct the county treasurer so to transfer, in
anticipation of the collection of taxes levied for any year, together with
the aggregate amount of such anticipation tax warrants and notes
theretofore drawn against such taxes and the amount of the interest
accrued, and the aggregate amount of such transfers theretofore made in
anticipation of the collection of such taxes, shall not exceed ninety (90)
per centum of the actual or estimated amount of such taxes extended or to

amount estimated to be required to satisfy debt service and pension or
retirement obligations, as set forth in Section 12 of "An Act in relation
to State revenue sharing with local government entities", approved July
31, 1969, as amended, shall not exceed the total amount which it is so
estimated will be received from such sources. To the extent that at any
time moneys are available in the working cash fund they shall be
transferred to the general corporate fund and disbursed for the payment of
salaries and other corporate expenses so as to avoid, whenever possible,
the issuance of anticipation tax warrants or notes.
