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.

|
|

| | fiscal year is not approved by the Authority by the commencement of the fiscal year to which such Financial Plan or Budget relates, and the Authority has theretofore given written warning notice to the corporate authorities of the city, on the 15th day prior to the commencement of that fiscal year, that the Financial Plan or Budget for such fiscal year has not yet been approved by the Authority; or
|
|
(3) The financially distressed city materially
| | violates the provisions of this Division, and the Authority -- at least 15 days prior to initiating any action to intercept any payments pursuant to this Section -- has given the corporate authorities of the city written notice of the material violation and of the Authority's intention to intercept payments pursuant to this Section upon the expiration of that 15 day notice period unless the city satisfies the Authority within that 15 day period that the material violation cited by the Authority has been corrected; provided that the Authority shall not be required to give any notice to the city or its corporate authorities prior to initiating action to intercept payments pursuant to this Section if such payments are to be intercepted because of the city's failure to pay when due all amounts then due and owing and required to be paid by the city on Obligations issued by the Illinois Finance Authority in connection with the provision of financial aid to the city pursuant to this Division and applicable provisions of the Illinois Finance Authority Act.

The intercept shall be made pursuant to written notice given by the
Authority to the State Comptroller and State Treasurer, setting forth the
amount of the intercept, which may be an aggregate amount not exceeding the

to the Authority, from such funds as from time to time are legally

Authority sooner notifies the State Comptroller and State Treasurer in
writing that no further payments that the city is entitled to receive shall
be intercepted under the provisions of this Section.
