(55 ILCS 5/4-2006) (from Ch. 34, par. 4-2006)

Sec. 4-2006. Report of fees.

(a) It is hereby made the duty of all State's attorneys to report to the circuit court at such times as the court shall determine by rule, the payment and collection of all fees, fines, forfeitures and penalties and to satisfy the court by voucher or otherwise, that all fees, fines, forfeitures and penalties by them collected, except as otherwise specifically provided by law, have been duly paid over to the county treasurer, as required by Section 4-2005, and the State's attorney shall have no further interest in conviction fees, fines, forfeitures and penalties or moneys collected by virtue of such office. The court shall note the filing of the report and fix a day certain not less than 30 days thereafter, when objections in writing may be filed to such report by any one or more taxpayers of the county, and when objections are filed to such report a hearing may be had upon such report and objections at such time and in such manner as the court may direct and after such hearing the court may approve or disapprove of such report as justice may require, and make all proper orders in reference thereto, and if no objections have been filed, the court shall inspect such report and require the State's attorney to produce evidence in proof of his having paid over as required by law all fines and forfeitures collected by him; and if it appears to the court that any State's attorney has failed or refused to turn over the fines and forfeitures collected by him as required by law the court shall at once suspend him and appoint a State's attorney pro tempore to perform the duties of the office until such State's attorney shall have complied with the provisions of this Division or the orders of the court in regard thereto. The court, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section shall have the power to examine books and papers and to issue subpoenas to compel the appearance of persons and the production of books and records: Provided, however, no order entered under this Section shall be a bar to any proper proceedings against such State's attorney and his bondsman to require him to account for moneys collected and not paid over by him as required by law.

(b) Waiver of report of fees. The filing of the report of fees as provided by subsection (a) of this Section may be waived by written administrative order of the chief judge of the circuit upon written request and affidavit of the State's attorney of a county within the circuit that all fines, fees, forfeitures, and restitution are collected by the clerk of the circuit court and that none of those funds pass through the office of the State's attorney.
