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.

(55 ILCS 5/3-11006) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-11006)

Sec. 3-11006.

Investment of county moneys; release of private
funds in custody of county treasurer.

(a) All county moneys shall be invested in
one or more of the following: (1) interest-bearing savings accounts,
interest-bearing certificates of deposit or interest-bearing time deposits
constituting direct obligations of any bank as shall have been selected and
designated under the terms of this Division and as shall have
complied with the requirements thereof; (2) shares or other forms of
securities legally issuable by savings and loan associations incorporated
under the laws of this State or any other state or under the laws of the
United States, provided such shares or securities are insured by the
Federal Savings and Loan  Insurance Corporation; (3) bonds, notes,
certificates of indebtedness, treasury bills or other securities now or
hereafter issued, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
United States of America as to principal and interest; (4) short term
discount obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association; and (5) dividend-bearing share accounts, share certificate accounts, or class of share accounts of a credit union chartered under the laws of this State or the laws of the United States, provided the accounts of that credit union are insured by applicable law and the credit union's principal office is located within the State of Illinois. The
expressed judgment of the county treasurer as to the time when any county
moneys will be required for expenditure or be redeemable is final and
conclusive. Privately owned funds held in the custody of a county treasurer
must be released to the appropriate party at the earliest reasonable time,
but in no case exceeding 31 days, after the private party becomes entitled
to the receipt of them.

(b) In addition to any other investments or deposits authorized under this Code, all counties are authorized to invest county moneys in accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act.
