Illinois Compiled Statutes - Full Text

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau

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.

and administration of the Lottery, including the payment of sums due to the private manager under the management agreement with the Department and including costs of administering the Lottery sports wagering program pursuant to Section 25-70 of the Sports Wagering Act.
        (3) On the last day of each month or as soon
    
thereafter as possible, the State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer from the State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund the Department's estimate of net lottery proceeds.
        (4) If an amount in excess of the annual net
    
lottery proceeds is transferred for a fiscal year, then the Department shall offset the monthly transfers of estimated net lottery proceeds during the following fiscal year by that excess amount. If an amount less than the annual net lottery proceeds is transferred for a fiscal year, then after the related annual fiscal year audit is completed following such fiscal year, the Department shall direct the deposit of any remaining annual net lottery proceeds from such fiscal year, subject to payments under paragraphs (1) and (2), into the Common School Fund as soon thereafter as possible.
    (b) The net lottery proceeds shall be determined by deducting from total annual lottery proceeds the expenditures required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a). The total annual lottery proceeds and annual net lottery proceeds shall be determined according to generally accepted accounting principles for governmental entities and verified by an annual fiscal year audit.
