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.

(235 ILCS 5/3-4.1)
Sec. 3-4.1. Obtaining evidence.

The State Commission has the power to expend sums that the Executive Director deems necessary for the purchase of evidence and for the employment of persons to obtain evidence. The sums shall be advanced to employees authorized by the Executive Director to expend funds, on vouchers signed by the Executive Director.

In addition, the Executive Director is authorized to maintain one or more commercial checking accounts with any State banking corporation or corporations organized under or subject to the Illinois Banking Act for the deposit and withdrawal of moneys to be used solely for the purchase of evidence and for the employment of persons to obtain evidence. No check may be written on nor any withdrawal made from such an account except on the written signature of 2 persons designated by the Executive Director to write those checks and make those withdrawals. The balance of moneys on deposit in any such account shall not exceed $25,000 at any time, nor shall any one check written on or single withdrawal made from any such account exceed $25,000.
