(50 ILCS 740/10) (from Ch. 85, par. 540)
Sec. 10. Training expenses; reimbursement. The Office shall reimburse the local
governmental agencies or individuals participating in the training
program in an amount equaling one-half of the total sum paid by
them during
the period established by the Office for tuition
at training schools, salary of
trainees while in school, necessary travel expenses, and room and board
for each trainee from funds appropriated for this purpose. Funds appropriated under this Section shall be used for reimbursement for costs incurred from January 1 through December 31 of the prior calendar year. In addition to reimbursement provided herein by the
Office to the local governmental agencies for participation by trainees,
the Office in each year shall reimburse the local governmental agencies
participating in the training program for fire protection
personnel in the same manner as trainees for each training program.
No more than 50% of the reimbursements distributed to local governmental
agencies in any fiscal year shall be distributed to local governmental
agencies of more than 500,000 persons. If at the time of the annual
reimbursement to local governmental agencies participating in the
training program there is an insufficient appropriation to make
reimbursement in full, the appropriation shall be apportioned among the
participating local governmental agencies. No local governmental agency
which shall alter or change in any manner any of the training programs
as promulgated under this Act or fail to comply with rules and
regulations promulgated under this Act shall be entitled to receive any
matching funds under this Act. Submitting false information to the
Office is a Class B misdemeanor.
