Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(15 ILCS 205/4a) (from Ch. 14, par. 4a)

Sec. 4a.

Attorneys and investigators appointed by the attorney
general, and on his payroll, when authorized by the attorney general or
his designee, may expend such sums as the attorney general or his designee
deems necessary for the purchase of items for evidence, the advancement of
fees in cases before United States courts or other State courts, and in the
payment of witness or subpoena fees.

Funds for making expenditures authorized in this Section shall be
advanced from funds appropriated or made available by law for the support
or use of the office of attorney general or vouchers therefor signed by the
attorney general or his designee. Sums so advanced may be paid to the
attorney or investigator authorized to receive the advancement, or may be
made payable to the ultimate recipient. Any expenditures under this Section
shall be audited by the auditor general as part of any mandated audit
conducted in compliance with Section 3-2 of the Illinois State Auditing Act.
