 1        AN ACT concerning deductions from State warrants.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The  State  Comptroller  Act  is  amended  by
 5    changing Section 10.05 as follows:

 6        (15 ILCS 405/10.05) (from Ch. 15, par. 210.05)
 7        Sec.  10.05.   Deductions  from  warrants;  statement  of
 8    reason  for  deduction. Whenever any person shall be entitled
 9    to a warrant or other payment  from  the  treasury  or  other
10    funds  held  by  the State Treasurer, on any account, against
11    whom there shall be any account or  claim  in  favor  of  the
12    State,   then   due   and   payable,  the  Comptroller,  upon
13    notification thereof, shall  ascertain  the  amount  due  and
14    payable to the State, as aforesaid, and draw a warrant on the
15    treasury  or  on  other  funds  held  by the State Treasurer,
16    stating the amount for which the  party  was  entitled  to  a
17    warrant  or other payment, the amount deducted therefrom, and
18    on what account, and directing the payment  of  the  balance;
19    which  warrant or payment as so drawn shall be entered on the
20    books of the Treasurer, and such balance only shall be  paid.
21    The  Comptroller may deduct the entire amount due and payable
22    to the State or may deduct a portion of the  amount  due  and
23    payable  to  the  State in accordance with the request of the
24    notifying agency.  No request from a notifying agency for  an
25    amount  to  be  deducted  under  this  Section from a wage or
26    salary  payment,  or  from  a  contractual  payment   to   an
27    individual for personal services, shall exceed 25% of the net
28    amount  of such payment.  "Net amount" means that part of the
29    earnings of an individual remaining after  deduction  of  any
30    amounts required by law to be withheld.  For purposes of this
31    provision,  wage,  salary  or  other  payments  for  personal
 
                            -2-                LRB9214241JSpc
 1    services  shall  not  include final compensation payments for
 2    the value  of  accrued  vacation,  overtime  or  sick  leave.
 3    Whenever  the  Comptroller draws a warrant or makes a payment
 4    involving  a  deduction  ordered  under  this  Section,   the
 5    Comptroller  shall notify the payee and the State agency that
 6    submitted the voucher of the reason for the deduction and  he
 7    or  she shall retain a record of such statement in his or her
 8    records. As used in this Section, an  "account  or  claim  in
 9    favor  of  the  State"  includes  all amounts owing to "State
10    agencies" as defined in Section 7 of this Act.  However,  the
11    Comptroller  shall  not  be  required  to  accept accounts or
12    claims owing to funds not held by the State Treasurer,  where
13    such  accounts  or  claims  do  not exceed $50, nor shall the
14    Comptroller deduct from funds held  by  the  State  Treasurer
15    under  the  Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax
16    Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act  or  the  Children's
17    Health   Insurance  Program  Act.  The  Comptroller  and  the
18    Department of the Lottery shall  enter  into  an  interagency
19    agreement to establish responsibility, duties, and procedures
20    relating  to  deductions  from  lottery  prizes awarded under
21    Section 20.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law.
22    (Source: P.A. 90-37, eff. 6-27-97.)

23        Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect  upon
24    becoming law.
