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.

Sec. 22. Transition; Auditor of Public Accounts to comptroller.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, the comptroller
shall succeed to all rights, powers, duties and liabilities of the Auditor
of Public Accounts in effect on January 7, 1973. Warrants outstanding on
the effective date of this Act shall be governed by the law in effect on
January 7, 1973, except for such provisions of this Act as may be made
applicable to such warrants by regulation adopted by the comptroller with
the approval of the State Treasurer. All books, records, equipment,
property, and personnel held by, in the custody of or employed by the
Auditor of Public Accounts on that date shall be transferred to the
comptroller on the effective date of this Act. This transfer of personnel
from the office of Auditor of Public Accounts to the office of the
comptroller shall in no way affect the status of such personnel under the
Personnel Code or the State Employees Retirement System or as respects
any employment benefits to which they were entitled on the day immediately
preceding the transfer.

(b) In order to achieve a smooth and orderly transition from the system
of accounts and reports maintained or provided by or for the Auditor of
Public Accounts to the new uniform accounting system and the expanded
reporting and accountability for public funds required by this Act, and the
warrant and payroll procedures required by this Act which may be different
from those provided by the law in effect on January 7, 1973, the
comptroller may, by interim regulations, provide for the gradual changeover
to the new systems, forms and procedures. The complete implementation of
the new uniform accounting system and of the forms and procedures for
reporting and documentation by all State agencies and the handling of
warrants and payroll, as provided by this Act, must be finalized and in
effect no later than July 1, 1974.

(c) The Warrant Escheat Fund, a special fund of which the State
Treasurer is ex officio custodian, as heretofore established by law is
retained.
