Public Act 096-0274 |
||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning civil law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Registered Titles (Torrens) Act is amended | ||||
by changing Section 102.1 as follows:
| ||||
(765 ILCS 35/102.1)
| ||||
Sec. 102.1. Excess funds.
| ||||
(a) The county board may determine that monies in excess of | ||||
the funds
necessary to satisfy judgments obtained or claims | ||||
allowed against the indemnity
fund
exist in the indemnity fund. | ||||
In determining whether an excess of
monies exists, the county | ||||
shall seek such input and gather such information as
is | ||||
necessary to assist the county in making the determination. The | ||||
input and
information shall include an actuarial study, or such | ||||
other studies, input, or
data the county deems appropriate, | ||||
whether undertaken at the direction of the
county or by third | ||||
parties in connection with the bidding for or offering of
| ||||
insurance to cover the county's obligations under this
Act. If | ||||
the county incurs any expense in gathering the information,
| ||||
including the actuarial study, the costs shall be paid from the
| ||||
indemnity fund.
| ||||
(b) The county may purchase private insurance to meet the | ||||
county's
obligations under this Act. If the county does
|
purchase such insurance, the cost of the insurance shall be | ||
paid out of the
indemnity fund.
| ||
(c) If the county determines that an excess of monies | ||
exists in the
indemnity fund, the county may transfer the | ||
excess monies to a lead poisoning
prevention fund, and may | ||
expend the monies in accordance with the provisions
of Section | ||
102.2 of this Act.
The county may also transfer and expend | ||
excess indemnity fund monies for the
benefit of
owners of real | ||
property in the county as the county deems appropriate, | ||
provided
that at least 50% of the aggregate of monies that have | ||
been deemed to be excess
monies have been transferred to the | ||
lead poisoning prevention fund. The county
may not expend any | ||
excess indemnity fund monies for any purpose other than lead
| ||
poisoning prevention until it has first designed, implemented, | ||
and started
making loan or grant payments under the lead | ||
poisoning prevention program
as provided in Section 102.2.
| ||
(d) Upon the statutory expiration of all potential | ||
indemnity fund
claims, any monies remaining in the indemnity | ||
fund shall be deemed to be excess
monies and shall be expended | ||
in accordance with the provisions of this
Section.
| ||
(e) This amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly does | ||
not preempt, rescind, modify, or revise any local, State, or | ||
federal laws or rules governing lead paint mitigation or | ||
abatement or lead poisoning prevention. | ||
(Source: P.A. 90-778, eff. 8-14-98.)
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon |
becoming law.
