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.

(55 ILCS 5/6-31004) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-31004)

Sec. 6-31004. Overdue reports.

(a) In the event the required reports for
a county are not filed with the Comptroller in accordance with Section 6-31003
within 180 days after the close of the fiscal year of the county, the
Comptroller shall notify the county board in writing that the reports are
due, and may also grant an extension of time of up to 60 days for the
filing of the reports.  In the event the required reports are not filed
within the time specified in such written notice, the Comptroller shall
cause the audit to be performed and the audit report prepared by an auditor or auditors.

(b) The Comptroller may decline to order an audit and the preparation of
an
audit report if an initial examination of the books and records of the
governmental unit indicates that the books and records of the governmental unit
are inadequate or unavailable due to the passage of time or the occurrence of a
natural disaster.

(c) The State Comptroller may grant extensions for delinquent audits or reports.  The Comptroller may charge a county a fee for a delinquent audit or report of $5 per day for the first 15 days past due, $10 per day for 16 through 30 days past due, $15 per day for 31 through 45 days past due, and $20 per day for the 46th day and every day thereafter. These amounts may be reduced at the Comptroller's discretion.  All fees collected under this subsection (c) shall be deposited into the Comptroller's Administrative Fund.
