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.

Sec. 29-15. Payment of assessment.

When the Attorney  General has certified
to the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity that the amount, in the
nature of a special assessment by which specified abutting State property has
been benefited by a specified local improvement, has been determined in
compliance with this Article, the Director shall, to the extent that
appropriations are available for that purpose, voucher the amount of that
assessment, or $25,000, whichever is less, for payment to the appropriate unit
of local government.  When the amount appropriated in any fiscal year for those
purposes is insufficient to pay a special assessment totalling $25,000 or less
in full, the balance of that special assessment shall be vouchered for payment
from the appropriation for those purposes for the next succeeding fiscal year.

If the amount of the assessment exceeds $25,000, the Director of the
Department or the other State officer having jurisdiction over the property
affected shall include in the Department's budget for the next succeeding
fiscal year a request for the appropriation of the amount by which the
assessment exceeds $25,000, plus interest, if any, which shall be vouchered for
payment from that appropriation.
