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.
(770 ILCS 85/1) (from Ch. 82, par. 63)
Sec. 1.
When the business of any person, corporation, company or firm shall
be suspended by the action of creditors, or be placed in the custody of a
receiver or trustee, then in all such cases the debts owing to laborers or
servants which have accrued by reason of their labor or employment and all
funds due and unpaid to the trustees for the beneficiaries of any pension
or retirement plan, shall be considered and treated as preferred claims,
and such laborers, employees or trustees shall be preferred creditors, and
shall be first paid in full, and if there be not sufficient to pay them in
full the same shall be paid from the proceeds of the sale of the property
seized: Provided, that any person interested may contest any such claim or
claims, or any part thereof, by filing objections thereto, supported by
affidavit, with the officer having the custody of such property, and
thereupon the claimant shall be required to reduce his or her claim to
judgment in the circuit court before any part thereof shall be paid.
