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.

(c) The Attorney General may determine or the court may order that all or a portion of an award be paid jointly
to the applicant and another person or solely and directly to another
person to the extent that such other person
has provided products, services or accommodations, the costs of which are
included in the award, or to another person to the extent that such other person paid or became obligated to pay expenses incurred by the victim or applicant.
(d) If an award under subsection (c) of this Section is offset by the
Comptroller, pursuant to the Uncollected State Claims Act, the intended
individual or entity must credit the applicant's or
victim's account for the amount ordered by the Court of Claims, and the
