(30 ILCS 390/11) (from Ch. 122, par. 1211)
Sec. 11.
If the State fails to pay the principal of or interest on any of the
Bonds as the same become due, a civil action to compel payment may be
instituted in the Supreme Court of Illinois as a court of original
jurisdiction by the holder or holders of the Bonds on which such default of
payment exists. Delivery of a summons and a copy of the complaint to the
Attorney General shall constitute sufficient service to give the Supreme
Court of Illinois jurisdiction of the subject matter of such a suit and
jurisdiction over the State and its officers named as defendants for the
purpose of compelling such payment. Any case, controversy or cause of
action concerning the validity of this Act relates to the revenue of the
State of Illinois.
If the Supreme Court of Illinois denies the holder or holders
of bonds leave to file an original action in the Supreme Court, the bond
holder or holders may bring the action in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County.
