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.

(20 ILCS 1825/4) (from Ch. 129, par. 404)

Sec. 4.

Notwithstanding Section 3, no compensation is payable under this Act
unless a claim therefor is filed, within the time specified by that
Section with the Court of Claims on an application prescribed and
furnished by the Attorney General and setting forth:

(a) the name, address and rank or grade in which the guardsman was serving
at the time of this death;

(b) the names and addresses of person or persons designated by the
guardsman to receive the compensation and, if more than one,
the percentage or share to be paid to each such person, or if there has
been no such designation, the name and address of the personal
representative of the estate of the guardsman;

(c) a full, factual account of the circumstances resulting in or the
course of events causing the death of the guardsman; and

(d) such other information as the Court of Claims reasonably requires.

When a claim is filed, the Attorney General shall make an investigation
for substantiation of matters set forth in such an application.
