30 ILCS 240/ Public Funds in Failed Banks Act.

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.

No action shall be brought nor shall any action lie against
the treasurer or custodian of any public funds which have been, or
hereafter may be, lawfully deposited in any bank which has closed or
failed, or hereafter may close or fail, for the failure to pay over such
funds, or any part thereof within a period of two years after such bank
has failed or closed nor shall such treasurer or custodian be liable to
pay over such funds, to the proper authorities during such period unless
he has received payment of all, or a part of such funds, from the
officials of such closed or failed bank or from the receiver therefor or
from the sale or disposition of any securities pledged for the repayment
of such funds, nor shall such treasurer or custodian be liable during
such period for any greater sum than the amount or amounts he has
received as such treasurer or custodian in the liquidation of such bank
or the sale or disposition of such securities; provided that the
provisions of this Act shall not apply to any such treasurer or
custodian of public funds unless each of the sureties upon the bond of
such treasurer or custodian shall consent thereto in writing. Such
consent shall be and shall be construed and held to be the agreement of
such surety that the provisions of this Act shall not operate as a
release from or affect the condition of such bond but that such bond
shall continue in full force and effect.
