Sec. 29-5.
State policy.
It is the policy of this State that when any unit
of local government makes a local improvement by special assessment or special
tax which benefits abutting State property, the State should pay for the
benefit so conferred on the same basis as other property owners benefited by
that improvement, subject to the same rights as are afforded to those property
owners.

(35 ILCS 200/29-10)
Sec. 29-10. State must be party to proceedings. No amount may be claimed
from the State by or on behalf of any unit of local government for any local
improvement made by special assessment or special tax that benefits, or is
alleged to benefit, abutting property owned by the State unless the State has
been made a party to all proceedings, has been given all notices, and has been
afforded the same opportunities for hearing and for objecting to the assessment
in the same manner and under the same conditions as provided in the law
applicable to the making of the local improvement by special assessment or
special tax by that unit of local government.
For the purposes of this Article, any notices required under applicable law
must be sent by registered or certified mail to the Director of the Department
or the other State officer having jurisdiction over the State property
affected, to the Director of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity,
and to the Attorney General.

Sec. 29-15. Payment of assessment. When the Attorney General has certified
to the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity that the amount, in the
nature of a special assessment by which specified abutting State property has
been benefited by a specified local improvement, has been determined in
compliance with this Article, the Director shall, to the extent that
appropriations are available for that purpose, voucher the amount of that
assessment, or $25,000, whichever is less, for payment to the appropriate unit
of local government. When the amount appropriated in any fiscal year for those
purposes is insufficient to pay a special assessment totalling $25,000 or less
in full, the balance of that special assessment shall be vouchered for payment
from the appropriation for those purposes for the next succeeding fiscal year.
If the amount of the assessment exceeds $25,000, the Director of the
Department or the other State officer having jurisdiction over the property
affected shall include in the Department's budget for the next succeeding
fiscal year a request for the appropriation of the amount by which the
assessment exceeds $25,000, plus interest, if any, which shall be vouchered for
payment from that appropriation.
