(705 ILCS 405/6-10) (from Ch. 37, par. 806-10)
Sec. 6-10. State reimbursement of funds.
(a) Before the 15th day of each
month, the clerk of the court shall itemize all payments received by the clerk
under Section 6-9 during the preceding month and shall pay such amounts
to the county treasurer. Before the 20th day of each month, the county
treasurer shall file with the Department of Children and Family Services
an itemized statement of the amount of money for the care and shelter of
a minor placed in shelter care under Sections 2-7, 3-9, 4-6 or 5-410 or placed
under Sections 2-27, 3-28, 4-25 or 5-740 before July 1, 1980 and after June
30, 1981, paid by the county during the last preceding month pursuant to court
order entered under Section 6-8, certified by the court, and an itemized
account of all payments received by the clerk of the court under Section
6-9 during the preceding month and paid over to the county treasurer,
certified by the county treasurer. The Department of Children and Family
Services shall examine and audit the monthly statement and account, and
upon finding them correct, shall voucher for payment to the county a sum
equal to the amount so paid out by the county less the amount received
by the clerk of the court under Section 6-9 and paid to the county treasurer
but not more than an amount equal to the current average daily rate paid by
the Department of Children and Family Services for similar services pursuant
to Section 5a of Children and Family Services Act, approved June 4, 1963, as
amended. Reimbursement to the
counties under this Section for care and support of minors in licensed
child caring institutions must be made by the Department of Children and
Family Services only for care in those institutions which have filed
with the Department a certificate affirming that they admit minors on
the basis of need without regard to race or ethnic origin.
(b) The county treasurer may file with the Department of Children and
Family Services an itemized statement of the amount of money paid by the county
during the last preceding month pursuant to court order entered under Section
6-8, certified by the court, and an itemized account of all payments received
by the clerk of the court under Section 6-9 during the preceding month and paid
over to the county treasurer, certified by the county treasurer. The
Department of Children and Family Services shall examine and audit the monthly
statement and account, and upon finding them correct, shall voucher for payment
to the county a sum equal to the amount so paid out by the county less the
amount received by the clerk of the court under Section 6-9 and paid to the
county treasurer. Subject to appropriations for that purpose, the State shall
reimburse the county for the care and shelter of a minor placed in detention as
a result of any new provisions that are created by the Juvenile Justice Reform
Provisions of 1998 (Public Act 90-590).
