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.

740 ILCS 45/16

(740 ILCS 45/16) (from Ch. 70, par. 86)

Sec. 16.

The Court of Claims, on its own motion or upon the written request
of any applicant, may modify an award of compensation made under this Act
or reconsider a denial of compensation.  No hearing need be held, however,
unless the written request states facts which were not known to the applicant or by the
exercise of reasonable diligence could not have been ascertained by him or her
at the time of the entry of the order or determination sought to be modified and which would
have directly affected whether or not compensation
should be awarded and, if so, the amount of that compensation.
