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.
(110 ILCS 66/30) Sec. 30. Past-due debt policy. (a) Beginning with the 2023-2024 academic year, each institution of higher education
shall adopt a policy that outlines the process by which a current or former student may
obtain a transcript or diploma that has been withheld from the student because the student owes a debt. At a minimum, the policy must
include: (1) a reasonable process for the verification of |
| conditions a current or former student may demonstrate to receive an exemption pursuant to Section 15 of this Act; and
|
|
(2) identification of the point at which a student
|
| may be subject to a transcript, diploma, or registration hold, including the time frames and amounts for which the holds are to be used and the lowest amount of debt at which the institution will assign debt to a third-party collection agency.

subsection (a) of this Section and the procedures for filing a complaint with
the Attorney General's student loan ombudsperson and an administrator of the institution of
higher education on the institution of higher education's website and shall provide the policy and the
procedures to students as part of the information the institution of higher education shares relating to the
cost of attendance that includes any additional fees, financial aid,
scholarships, or other information.
(c) The institution of higher education does not need to institute a new policy under this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly if the institution's current policy meets the minimum requirements of this Section.
