|
| 1 | | Treasurer shall give the county treasurer a receipt
for the | 2 | | amount transmitted to the State Treasurer. Except as provided | 3 | | in subsection (a-5) of this Section, if any county treasurer | 4 | | fails

interest on the amounts | 8 | | not paid at the rate of 1% per month from the time those
| 9 | | amounts are due by the county treasurer until those amounts | 10 | | are paid. The

| 15 | | circuit court within the county wherein the county treasurer | 16 | | is resident;
and the penalty, when recovered, shall be paid | 17 | | into the State treasury.

treasurer within 10 days | 19 | | after
the failure of the county treasurer to pay to the State | 20 | | Treasurer any
amounts collected by the county treasurer within | 21 | | the time required by this Act. Failure
to bring the action | 22 | | within that time shall not prevent the bringing of the
action | 23 | | thereafter. It is the duty of the State Treasurer to
make | 24 | | necessary and proper investigation to determine what amounts | 25 | | should
be paid under this Act.

|
| 1 | | subsection (a) of this Section on a case-by-case basis if the | 2 | | State Treasurer finds that imposing penalties would be | 3 | | unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome because the delay in | 4 | | payment was due to an incident caused by the operation of an | 5 | | extraordinary force, including, but not limited to, the | 6 | | occurrence of a natural disaster, that cannot be foreseen, | 7 | | that cannot be avoided by the exercise of due care, and for | 8 | | which no person can be held liable. | 9 | | (b) (Blank).

as may be after the | 14 | | first
day of each month after
the effective date of this Act, | 15 | | and before September 1, 2012, the State Treasurer
shall | 16 | | transfer from the General Revenue Fund to
