Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

        (1) No refund shall be made unless a petition for
    
refund has been filed in accordance with Section 5-45 of this Act within 3 years after the amount to be refunded was paid.
        (2) If the refund claimed is based upon an instrument
    
filed with the Secretary of State which contained a misstatement of fact, typographical error, error of transcription, or other error or defect, no refund of any fee shall be made unless a statement of correction has been filed in accordance with Section 5-47 of this Act.
    (b) The petition for refund shall be executed in accordance with Section 5-45 of this Act and shall set forth the following:
        (1) The name of the limited liability company and the

which the petitioner relies.
        (4) Any other information required by rule.
    (c) If the Secretary of State determines that the amount paid is incorrect, he or she shall refund to the limited liability company any amount paid in excess of the proper amount; provided, however, that no refund shall be made for an amount less than $200, and any refund in excess of that amount shall be reduced by $200; and provided further, that such refund shall be made without payment of interest.
