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.

Sec. 6.

Recovery of Grant Funds.

Any grant funds which have been misspent
or are being improperly held are subject to recovery by the grantor agency
which made the grant or alternatively by the Attorney General.  The grantor
agency making the grant shall take affirmative and timely action to recover
all misspent or improperly held grant funds.  In order to effectuate the
recovery of such grant funds, the grantor agency making the grant is authorized
to use any one or a combination of the following:

(a) offset against existing grants of, or future grants to be made by,
the grantor agency making the recovery;

(b) authorize the offset from existing grants or grants to be made by
other grantor agencies;

(c) authorize the Comptroller to offset any payment from any funds
administered by the Comptroller for payment to the grantee, including, but not
limited to, distributions of appropriated funds and payment of refunds;

(d) initiate any debt collection method authorized by law to any private
person; or

(e) remove the grantee from any of the grantor agency's programs and forbid
the grantee's participation in any such future grant programs for a period
not to exceed 2 years.

The provisions of this Section are subject to Section 14.
