Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

|
|
(d) The population of all counties for the purpose of fixing salaries as
herein provided shall be based upon the last Federal census immediately

(e) At the request of the county governing authority, in counties where
one or more state correctional institutions, as hereinafter defined, are
located, one or more assistant state's attorneys shall, subject to appropriation, receive for their
services, provided that such services are performed in connection with the
state correctional institution, payable monthly by the Department of Revenue out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund or the General Revenue Fund to
the county in which they are appointed, the following:
(1) $22,000 for each assistant state's attorney in
| | counties with one or more State correctional institutions with a total average daily inmate population in excess of 2,000, on the basis of 2 assistant state's attorneys when the total average daily inmate population exceeds 2,000 but is less than 4,000; and 3 assistant state's attorneys when such population exceeds 4,000; with reimbursement to be based on actual services rendered.
|
|
(2) $15,000 per year for one assistant state's

|
|
(3) A maximum of $12,000 per year for one assistant
| | state's attorney in counties having less than 750 inmates, with reimbursement to be based on actual services rendered.
|
|
Upon application of the county governing authority
| | and certification of the State's Attorney, the Director of Corrections may, in his discretion and subject to appropriation, increase the amount of salary reimbursement to a county in the event special circumstances require the county to incur extraordinary salary expenditures as a result of services performed in connection with State correctional institutions in that county.
|
|
In determining whether or not to increase the amount of salary
reimbursement, the Director shall consider, among other matters:
(1) the nature of the services rendered;
(2) the results or dispositions obtained;
(3) whether or not the county was required to employ
| | additional attorney personnel as a direct result of the services actually rendered in connection with a particular service to a State correctional institution.
|
|
(f) In counties where a State senior institution of higher education is
located, the assistant state's attorneys specified by this Section shall, subject to appropriation,
receive for their services, payable monthly by the Department of Revenue out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund or the General Revenue Fund to
the county in which appointed, the following:
(1) $14,000 per year each for employment on a full
| | time basis for 2 assistant state's attorneys in counties having a State university or State universities with combined full time enrollment of more than 15,000 students.
|
|
(2) $7,200 per year for one assistant state's
| | attorney with no limitation on other practice in counties having a State university or State universities with combined full time enrollment of 10,000 to 15,000 students.
|
|
(3) $4,000 per year for one assistant state's
| | attorney with no limitation on other practice in counties having a State university or State universities with combined full time enrollment of less than 10,000 students.
|
|
Such salaries shall be paid to the state's attorney and the assistant
state's attorney in equal monthly installments by such county out of the
county treasury provided that, subject to appropriation, the Department of Revenue shall reimburse each
county monthly, out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund or the General Revenue Fund, the amount of such salary. This
Section shall not prevent the payment of such additional compensation to
the state's attorney or assistant state's attorney of any county, out of
the treasury of that county as may be provided by law.
(g) For purposes of this Section, "State mental health institution" means
any institution under the jurisdiction of the Department of Human Services
that is listed in Section 4 of the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act.
For purposes of this Section, "State correctional institution" means
any facility of the Department of Corrections including adult facilities,
juvenile facilities, pre-release centers, community correction centers, and
work camps.
For purposes of this Section, "State university" means the University
of Illinois, Southern Illinois University,
Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State
University, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University,
Northern Illinois University, Western Illinois University, and any public
community college
which has established a program of interinstitutional cooperation with one
of the foregoing institutions whereby a student, after earning an associate
degree from the community college, pursues a course of study at the
community college campus leading to a baccalaureate degree from the
foregoing institution (also known as a "2 Plus 2" degree program).
(h) A number of assistant state's attorneys shall be appointed in each
county that chooses to participate, as provided in this subsection,
for the prosecution of alcohol-related traffic offenses. Each county shall
receive monthly a subsidy for payment of the salaries and
benefits of these
assistant state's attorneys from State funds appropriated to the Department of Revenue out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund or the General Revenue Fund for
that purpose. The amounts of subsidies provided by this subsection shall be
adjusted for inflation each July 1 using the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.
When a county chooses to participate in the subsidy program described in this
subsection (h), the number of assistant state's attorneys who are prosecuting
alcohol-related traffic offenses must increase according to the subsidy
provided in this subsection. These appointed assistant state's attorneys shall
be in addition to any other assistant state's attorneys assigned to those cases
on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, and
may not replace those assistant state's attorneys. In counties where the
state's attorney is the sole prosecutor, this subsidy shall be used to provide
an assistant state's attorney to prosecute alcohol-related traffic offenses
along with the state's attorney. In counties where the state's attorney is the
sole prosecutor, and in counties where a judge presides over cases involving a
variety of misdemeanors, including alcohol-related traffic matters, assistant
state's attorneys appointed and subsidized by this subsection (h) may also
prosecute the different misdemeanor cases at the direction of the state's
attorney.
Assistant state's attorneys shall be appointed under this subsection in the
following number and counties shall receive the following annual subsidies:
(1) In counties with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants,
| |
(2) In counties with 30,000 or more but fewer than
| | 100,000 inhabitants, one at $45,000.
|
|
(3) In counties with 100,000 or more but fewer than
| | 300,000 inhabitants, 2 at $45,000 each.
|
|
(4) In counties, other than Cook County, with 300,000
| | or more inhabitants, 4 at $50,000 each.
|
|
The amounts appropriated under this Section must be segregated by
population
classification and disbursed monthly.
If in any year the amount appropriated for the purposes of this subsection
(h) is insufficient to pay all of the subsidies specified in this subsection,
the amount appropriated shall first be prorated by the population
classifications of this subsection (h) and then among the counties choosing
to
participate
within each of those classifications. If any of the appropriated moneys for
each population classification remain at the end of a fiscal year,
the remainder of the moneys may be allocated to participating counties that
were not fully funded during the course of the year. Nothing in
this subsection prohibits 2 or more State's attorneys from combining their
subsidies to appoint a joint assistant State's attorney to
prosecute alcohol-related traffic offenses in multiple counties. Nothing in
this subsection prohibits a State's attorney from appointing an
assistant State's attorney by contract or otherwise.

(a) It is hereby made the duty of all State's attorneys to report to
the circuit court at such times as the court shall determine by rule, the

satisfy the court by voucher or otherwise, that all fees, fines,
