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.
(105 ILCS 5/8-16) (from Ch. 122, par. 8-16)
Sec. 8-16. School orders; Teacher's wages. The school treasurer shall pay out funds of the school district only
upon an order of the school board signed by the president and
clerk or secretary or by a majority of the board, except payment of the
obligations for Social Security taxes as required by the Social Security
Enabling Act and payment of recurring bills, such as utility bills, may be made upon a certification by the clerk or secretary
of the board of the amount of the obligation only. When an order issued
for the wages of a teacher is presented to the treasurer and is not paid
for want of funds, the treasurer shall endorse it over his signature,
"not paid for want of funds" with the date of presentation, and shall
make and keep a record of the endorsement. The order shall thereafter
bear interest at the rate, not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by the
Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the
contract, established by the school board of the district, until the
treasurer shall notify the clerk or secretary in writing that
he has funds to pay the order. Whenever the treasurer obtains sufficient
funds to pay any such order he shall set them aside for such purpose and
shall not use them to pay any other order until the order previously
presented and not paid is paid or otherwise discharged. The treasurer shall
make and keep a record of the notices and hold the funds necessary to pay
such order until it is presented. The order shall draw no interest after
notice is given to the clerk or secretary.
Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the establishment of a
voucher system of expenditures as provided in Section 10-23.5 of this
Act.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after June 6, 1989, it is and always has been
the intention of the General Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are
and always have been supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in
accordance with the Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this
Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts,
(ii) that the provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the
supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that
instruments issued under this Section within the supplementary authority
granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision
of this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
