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.
(730 ILCS 125/21) (from Ch. 75, par. 121) (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-745) Sec. 21. Whenever a prisoner is committed to the jail of one county
for a criminal offense committed or charged to have been committed in another,
or is transferred to another county for safekeeping or trial, the county
in which the crime was committed, or charged to have been committed, shall
pay the expenses of the keeping of such prisoner. In civil suits, the plaintiff
or defendant shall pay the expenses, in the same manner as if the imprisonment
had taken place in the same county where the suit was commenced. The County Board of the county in which the crime was committed, may require
convicted prisoners transferred from such county to reimburse the county
for the expenses incurred by their incarceration to the extent of their
ability to pay for such expenses. The State's Attorney of the county which
incurred the expenses, if authorized by the County Board, may institute
civil actions in the circuit court of such county to recover from such convicted
confined persons the expenses incurred by their confinement. Such expenses
recovered shall be paid into the county treasury.(Source: P.A. 83-1073.) (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 103-745) Sec. 21.
