50 ILCS 430/ Warrants and Jurors Certificates Act.

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.

50 ILCS 430/1

(50 ILCS 430/1) (from Ch. 146 1/2, par. 1)

Sec. 1.

No warrant payable on demand shall hereafter be drawn upon the
treasurer of any county, township, or other municipal corporation, or
against any fund in his possession unless at the time of the drawing there
is sufficient money in the appropriate fund in the treasury to pay the
warrant.

50 ILCS 430/2

(50 ILCS 430/2) (from Ch. 146 1/2, par. 2)

Sec. 2.

Whenever a county, township, sanitary district, or other
municipal corporation, a quasi municipal corporation, farm drainage
district, river district, drainage and levee district, or fire
protection district, does not have sufficient money in its treasury to
meet all necessary expenses and liabilities thereof, including all
expenses for building purposes, the proper authorities thereof may
provide a fund to meet these expenses and liabilities by issuing and
disposing of warrants drawn against and in anticipation of any taxes
already levied by said authorities for the payment of these expenses and
liabilities, to the extent of 85% of the total amount
of those taxes. However, in any county in which there has been created a
working cash fund pursuant to the provisions of "An Act to provide for
the creation, setting apart, maintenance and administration of a working
cash fund in counties having a population of five hundred thousand or
more inhabitants," filed June 28, 1930, as amended, or in the Chicago
Park District if there has been created a working cash fund pursuant to
the provisions of "An Act authorizing the Chicago Park District to
provide for the creation, maintenance and administration of a working
cash fund," approved July 11, 1935, as amended, no tax anticipation
warrants shall be drawn against taxes levied for general corporate
purposes for such an amount that the aggregate of (1) the amount of
those warrants, and the interest to accrue thereon, (2) the aggregate
amount of those warrants theretofore drawn against those taxes and the
interest accrued and to accrue thereon, (3) in case of counties having
more than five hundred thousand population, the aggregate amount of
notes issued in anticipation of taxes, and (4) the aggregate amount of
money theretofore transferred from the working cash fund to the general
fund of that county or park district, exceeds ninety per cent of the
actual or estimated amount of those taxes extended or to be extended by
the county clerk upon the books of the collector or collectors of State
and county taxes within that county or park district, as the case may
be. Tax anticipation warrants drawn and issued under the provisions of
this Section shall show upon their face that they are payable in the
numerical order of their issuance solely from the anticipated taxes when
these anticipated taxes are collected and not otherwise. These warrants
shall be received by any collector of taxes in payment of the taxes
against which they are issued, and the taxes against which these
warrants are drawn shall be set apart and held for their payment.

The board of town trustees shall be the proper authority for the
issuance and disposal of warrants drawn against and in anticipation of
all taxes levied by the electors of a township at a town meeting.

50 ILCS 430/3

(50 ILCS 430/3) (from Ch. 146 1/2, par. 3)

Sec. 3.

Each warrant issued under this Act may be made payable at the
time fixed in the warrant and shall bear interest, payable only out of the
taxes against which it is drawn, at a rate of interest specified in the
warrant but not exceeding 7% if issued prior to January 1, 1972, and at
the rate of not more than 8% if issued after January 1, 1972 and before
November 12, 1981, and at a rate not to exceed the rate permitted in "An Act
to authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness
and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest rate limitations set forth
therein", approved May 26, 1970, as now or hereafter amended if issued on
or after November 12, 1981, annually from the date of
issuance until paid, or until notice is given
by publication in a newspaper or otherwise, that the money for its
payment is available, and that it will be paid on presentation. All
jurors' certificates shall be issued in conformity with this Act. This
Act does not apply to school districts, cities, villages, or incorporated
towns. For the purposes of this Section, "prime commercial rate" means such
prime rate as from time to time is publicly announced by the largest
commercial banking institution located in this State, as measured by total assets.
