For Public Safety, Public Facilities, Mental Health, Substance
Abuse, or Transportation.
(a) The county board of any county may impose a tax upon
all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than personal property titled or
registered with an agency of this State's government, at retail
in the county on the gross receipts from the sales made in the
course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively
for public safety, public facility, mental health, substance
abuse, or transportation purposes in that county, if a
proposition for the tax has been submitted to the electors of
that county and approved by a majority of those voting on the
question. If imposed, this tax shall be imposed only in
one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, the county
board may order the proposition to be submitted at any
election. If the tax is imposed for transportation purposes for
expenditures for public highways or as authorized under the
Illinois Highway Code, the county board must publish notice of
the existence of its long-range highway transportation plan as
required or described in Section 5-301 of the Illinois Highway
Code and must make the plan publicly available prior to

If a tax is imposed for public facilities purposes, then
the name of the project may be included in the proposition at
the discretion of the county board as determined in the
enabling resolution. For example, the "XXX Nursing Home" or the
"YYY Museum".
The county clerk shall certify the question to the proper
election authority, who shall submit the proposition at an
election in accordance with the general election law.
(1) The proposition for public safety purposes shall be

"To pay for public safety purposes, shall (name of
county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of
local sales taxes by (insert rate)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:
"This would mean that a consumer would pay an
additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
tangible personal property bought at retail."
The county board may also opt to establish a sunset
provision at which time the additional sales tax would
cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote
of the county board. If the county board votes to include a
sunset provision, the proposition for public safety
purposes shall be in substantially the following form:
"To pay for public safety purposes, shall (name of
county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of
local sales taxes by (insert rate) for a period not to
exceed (insert number of years)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:
"This would mean that a consumer would pay an
additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed,
the additional tax would cease being collected at the end
of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by a
vote of the county board."
For the purposes of the paragraph, "public safety
purposes" means crime prevention, detention, fire
fighting, police, medical, ambulance, or other emergency
services.
Votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
Beginning on the January 1 or July 1, whichever is
first, that occurs not less than 30 days after May 31, 2015

service occupation tax at the rate of 0.25%, as provided in
the referendum approved by the voters on April 7, 2015,
notwithstanding the omission of the additional information
that is otherwise required to be printed on the ballot
below the question pursuant to this item (1).
(2) The proposition for transportation purposes shall
be in substantially the following form:
"To pay for improvements to roads and other
transportation purposes, shall (name of county) be
authorized to impose an increase on its share of local
sales taxes by (insert rate)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:

If a majority of the electors voting on the proposition

may not submit more than one proposition authorized by this
Section to the electors at any one time.
This additional tax may not be imposed on tangible personal
property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act. The tax imposed by a county under this Section and all
civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the tax
shall be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department of
Revenue and deposited into a special fund created for that
purpose. The certificate of registration that is issued by the
Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a business that is
taxable without registering separately with the Department
under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. The
Department has full power to administer and enforce this
Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due under this
Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the
manner provided in this Section, and to determine all rights to
credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. In the administration of
and compliance with this Section, the Department and persons
who are subject to this Section shall (i) have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes of procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1,
1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-70 (in respect to
all provisions contained in those Sections other than the State
rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except provisions relating to
transaction returns and quarter monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a,
5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d,
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act
as if those provisions were set forth in this Section.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the County Public Safety, Public Facilities,
Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund.
(b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1%
rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act. The tax imposed
under this subsection and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and enforced
by the Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes
and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties
so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to
determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of
the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall
(i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a
place of business in this State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b,
2c, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other
than the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to
the State shall be to the county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the
jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as
to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, 11,
12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference
to the State shall mean the county), Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen are
authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the County Public Safety, Public Facilities,
Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Fund.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the Constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
(c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
collected under this Section to be deposited into the County
Public Safety, Public Facilities, Mental Health, Substance
Abuse, or Transportation Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund, which
shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside of the State
treasury.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation
Development and Economy Act, collected under this Section
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a
STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to the counties from which
retailers have paid taxes or penalties to the Department during
the second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to
each county, and deposited by the county into its special fund
created for the purposes of this Section, shall be the amount
(not including credit memoranda) collected under this Section
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
plus an amount the Department determines is necessary to offset
any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing
body, and not including (i) an amount equal to the amount of
refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf of the county, (ii) any amount that the
Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
were payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
paid to the county, (iii) any amounts that are transferred to
the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, and (iv) 1.5% of the remainder,
which shall be transferred into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
monthly disbursement to the counties, shall prepare and certify
to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the
Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this subsection.
Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the
disbursement certification to the counties and the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in this Section
to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with directions contained in
the certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year to
each county that received more than $500,000 in disbursements
under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
monthly distribution made to each such county under the
preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
(excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution
made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an
allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated
and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
accordance with this paragraph.
A county may direct, by ordinance, that all or a portion of
the taxes and penalties collected under the Special County
Retailers' Occupation Tax For Public Safety, Public
Facilities, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation
be deposited into the Transportation Development Partnership
Trust Fund.
(d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental
unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
in interstate or foreign commerce.
(e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
a county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business that under the Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
(e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the
county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
of the tax. If the county board lowers the tax rate or
discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
(f) Beginning April 1, 1998 and through December 31, 2013,
the results of any election authorizing a proposition to impose
a tax under this Section or effecting a change in the rate of
tax, or any ordinance lowering the rate or discontinuing the
tax, shall be certified by the county clerk and filed with the
Illinois Department of Revenue either (i) on or before the
first day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next
following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce the tax as of the first day of January next
following the filing.
Beginning January 1, 2014, the results of any election
authorizing a proposition to impose a tax under this Section or
effecting an increase in the rate of tax, along with the
ordinance adopted to impose the tax or increase the rate of the
tax, or any ordinance adopted to lower the rate or discontinue
the tax, shall be certified by the county clerk and filed with
the Illinois Department of Revenue either (i) on or before the
first day of May, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next
following the adoption and filing; or (ii) on or before the
first day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of January
next following the adoption and filing.
(g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to
a county under this Section, the Department shall increase or
decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset any
miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6
months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
(h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County
Occupation Tax For Public Safety, Public Facilities, Mental
Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Law".
(i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes,
but is not limited to, crime prevention, detention, fire
fighting, police, medical, ambulance, or other emergency
services. The county may share tax proceeds received under this
Section for public safety purposes, including proceeds
received before August 4, 2009 (the effective date of Public
Act 96-124), with any fire protection district located in the
county. For the purposes of this Section, "transportation"
includes, but is not limited to, the construction, maintenance,
operation, and improvement of public highways, any other
purpose for which a county may expend funds under the Illinois
Highway Code, and passenger rail transportation. For the
purposes of this Section, "public facilities purposes"
includes, but is not limited to, the acquisition, development,
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement,
financing, architectural planning, and installation of capital
facilities consisting of buildings, structures, and durable
equipment and for the acquisition and improvement of real
property and interest in real property required, or expected to
be required, in connection with the public facilities, for use
by the county for the furnishing of governmental services to
its citizens, including but not limited to museums and nursing
homes.
(j) The Department may promulgate rules to implement Public
Act 95-1002 only to the extent necessary to apply the existing
rules for the Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax for
Public Safety to this new purpose for public facilities.

Sec. 5-1035.1. County Motor Fuel Tax Law. The county board
of the counties of DuPage, Kane and McHenry may, by an
ordinance or resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of a
majority of the members elected or appointed to the county
board, impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the county in
the business of selling motor fuel, as now or hereafter defined
in the Motor Fuel Tax Law, at retail for the operation of motor
vehicles upon public highways or for the operation of
recreational watercraft upon waterways. Kane County may exempt
diesel fuel from the tax imposed pursuant to this Section. The
tax may be imposed, in half-cent increments, at a rate not
exceeding 4 cents per gallon of motor fuel sold at retail
within the county for the purpose of use or consumption and not
for the purpose of resale. The proceeds from the tax shall be
used by the county solely for the purpose of operating,
constructing and improving public highways and waterways, and
acquiring real property and right-of-ways for public highways
and waterways within the county imposing the tax.
A tax imposed pursuant to this Section, and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof, shall be
administered, collected and enforced by the Illinois
Department of Revenue in the same manner as the tax imposed
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as now or hereafter
amended, insofar as may be practicable; except that in the
event of a conflict with the provisions of this Section, this
Section shall control. The Department of Revenue shall have
full power: to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund shall be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the County Option Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
collected hereunder, which shall be deposited into the County
Option Motor Fuel Tax Fund, a special fund in the State
Treasury which is hereby created. On or before the 25th day of
each calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify
to the State Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of
money to named counties for which taxpayers have paid taxes or
penalties hereunder to the Department during the second
preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each county
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
hereunder from retailers within the county during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department, but not including
an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of the
county; less 2% of the balance, which sum shall be retained by
the State Treasurer to cover the costs incurred by the
Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of
this Section. The Department, at the time of each monthly
disbursement to the counties, shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the amount so retained by the State Treasurer,
which shall be transferred into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund.
A county may direct, by ordinance, that all or a portion of
the taxes and penalties collected under the County Option Motor
Fuel Tax shall be deposited into the Transportation Development
Partnership Trust Fund.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing a tax hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be effective on
the first day of the second calendar month next following the
month in which the ordinance or resolution is adopted and a
certified copy thereof is filed with the Department of Revenue,
whereupon the Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section on behalf of the county as of the
effective date of the ordinance or resolution. Upon a change in
rate of a tax levied hereunder, or upon the discontinuance of
the tax, the county board of the county shall, on or not later
than 5 days after the effective date of the ordinance or
resolution discontinuing the tax or effecting a change in rate,
transmit to the Department of Revenue a certified copy of the
ordinance or resolution effecting the change or
discontinuance.

(55 ILCS 5/3-4006.1 rep.)
Section 75. The Counties Code is amended by repealing
Section 3-4006.1.
Section 80. The Illinois Banking Act is amended by changing
Section 48 as follows:
(205 ILCS 5/48)
Sec. 48. Secretary's powers; duties. The Secretary shall
have the powers and authority, and is charged with the duties
and responsibilities designated in this Act, and a State bank
shall not be subject to any other visitorial power other than
as authorized by this Act, except those vested in the courts,
or upon prior consultation with the Secretary, a foreign bank
regulator with an appropriate supervisory interest in the
parent or affiliate of a state bank. In the performance of the
Secretary's duties:
(1) The Commissioner shall call for statements from all
State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time
during each calendar quarter.
(2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner
shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently than
18 months following the preceding examination, shall
appoint a suitable person or persons to make an examination
of the affairs of every State bank, except that for every
eligible State bank, as defined by regulation, the
Commissioner in lieu of the examination may accept on an
alternating basis the examination made by the eligible
State bank's appropriate federal banking agency pursuant
to Section 111 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991, provided the appropriate federal
banking agency has made such an examination. A person so
appointed shall not be a stockholder or officer or employee
of any bank which that person may be directed to examine,
and shall have powers to make a thorough examination into
all the affairs of the bank and in so doing to examine any
of the officers or agents or employees thereof on oath and
shall make a full and detailed report of the condition of
the bank to the Commissioner. In making the examination the
examiners shall include an examination of the affairs of
all the affiliates of the bank, as defined in subsection
(b) of Section 35.2 of this Act, or subsidiaries of the
bank as shall be necessary to disclose fully the conditions
of the subsidiaries or affiliates, the relations between
the bank and the subsidiaries or affiliates and the effect
of those relations upon the affairs of the bank, and in
connection therewith shall have power to examine any of the
officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
subsidiaries or affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the
Commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with
state regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State
bank branches from those state regulatory authorities.
These cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in
which the other state regulatory authorities may be
compensated for examinations prepared for and submitted to
the Commissioner.
(b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized
to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem
necessary or proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The
Commissioner may establish and may assess fees to be paid
to the Commissioner for examinations under this subsection
(b). The fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank,
unless the fees are borne by the state regulatory authority
that chartered the out-of-state bank, as determined by a
cooperative agreement between the Commissioner and the
state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
bank.
(2.1) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of
this Section, the Secretary shall adopt rules that ensure
consistency and due process in the examination process. The
Secretary may also establish guidelines that (i) define the
scope of the examination process and (ii) clarify
examination items to be resolved. The rules, formal
guidance, interpretive letters, or opinions furnished to
State banks by the Secretary may be relied upon by the
State banks.
(2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or
affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any
branch of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by
contract or otherwise, any bank services for itself,
whether on or off its premises:
(a) that performance shall be subject to
examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as
if services were being performed by the bank or, after
May 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on
its own premises; and
(b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
existence of a service relationship. The notification
shall be submitted with the first statement of
condition (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due
after the making of the service contract or the
performance of the service, whichever occurs first.
The Commissioner shall be notified of each subsequent
contract in the same manner.
For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
services" means services such as sorting and posting of
checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest
and other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of
checks, statements, notices, and similar items, or any
other clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or
similar functions performed for a State bank, including but
not limited to electronic data processing related to those
bank services.
(3) The expense of administering this Act, including
the expense of the examinations of State banks as provided
in this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting
from the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and
(b) of this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by
the State banks:
(a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call
Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly
installments equal to one-fourth of the sum of the
annual fixed fee of $800, plus a variable fee based on
the assets shown on the quarterly statement of
condition delivered to the Secretary in accordance
with Section 47 for the preceding quarter according to
the following schedule: 16¢ per $1,000 of the first
$5,000,000 of total assets, 15¢ per $1,000 of the next
$20,000,000 of total assets, 13¢ per $1,000 of the next
$75,000,000 of total assets, 9¢ per $1,000 of the next
$400,000,000 of total assets, 7¢ per $1,000 of the next
$500,000,000 of total assets, and 5¢ per $1,000 of all
assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, of the State bank.
The Call Report Fee shall be calculated by the
Secretary and billed to the banks for remittance at the
time of the quarterly statements of condition provided
for in Section 47. The Secretary may require payment of
the fees provided in this Section by an electronic
transfer of funds or an automatic debit of an account
of each of the State banks. In case more than one
examination of any bank is deemed by the Secretary to
be necessary in any examination frequency cycle
specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
additional examination. In lieu of the method and
amounts set forth in this paragraph (a) for the
calculation of the Call Report Fee, the Secretary may
specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
this Section may be assessed semiannually or some other
period and may provide in the rule the formula to be
used for calculating and assessing the periodic Call
Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
(a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner
may assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the
affairs of a State bank with whatever frequency he
deems appropriate, including but not limited to a daily
basis. The reasonable and necessary expenses of the
Commissioner during the period of the monitoring shall
be borne by the subject bank. The Commissioner shall
furnish the State bank a statement of time and expenses
if requested to do so within 30 days of the conclusion
of the monitoring period.
(a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable
and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
examination of the performance of electronic data
processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be
borne by the banks for which the services are provided.
An amount, based upon a fee structure prescribed by the
Commissioner, shall be paid by the banks or, after May
31, 1997, branches of out-of-state banks receiving the
electronic data processing services along with the
Call Report Fee assessed under paragraph (a) of this
subsection (3).
(a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and
necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
examination of the performance of electronic data
processing services under subsection (2.5) at or on
behalf of branches of out-of-state banks shall be borne
by the out-of-state banks, unless those expenses are
borne by the state regulatory authorities that
chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by
cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and
the state regulatory authorities that chartered the
out-of-state banks.
(b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48
is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee
equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid
by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection
(3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the
aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined
in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum
of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks
for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3),
plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that
year, plus all other amounts collected by the
Commissioner for that year under any other provision of
this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected for
that year by the Commissioner under the Corporate
Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership fees
provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary
Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The aggregate
amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at for any
fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed
upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
corporations, respectively, in the same proportion
that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of subsection
(3), respectively, for that year bears to the aggregate
for that year of the fees collected under paragraph (a)
of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of the
contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner
and shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120
days of the close of the period for which the
contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
Commissioner shall give 20 days' advance notice of the
amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment
of the fee.
(c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
for that year incident to making the examinations
provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this
Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the
expenses paid from the Corporate Fiduciary
Receivership account in the Bank and Trust Company
Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the Electronic
Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank Examiners'
Education Foundation Act, including all salaries and
other compensation paid for personal services rendered
for the State by officers or employees of the State,
including the Commissioner and the Deputy
Commissioners, communication equipment and services,
office furnishings, surety bond premiums, and travel
expenses of those officers and employees, employees,
expenditures or charges for the acquisition,
enlargement or improvement of, or for the use of, any
office space, building, or structure, or expenditures
for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat,
light, or power with respect thereto, all to the extent
that those expenditures are directly incidental to
such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of
this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's
budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and
accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
employees of the Commissioner upon termination of
their service with the Commissioner in an amount that
is more than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary
for any anticipated turnover in employees, whether due
to normal attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
resignations.
(d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",
except as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11)
of this Section. All earnings received from
investments of funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
shall be deposited in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
and may be used for the same purposes as fees deposited
in that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited
into the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i)
to offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the
Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a
credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
subsection (3). Nothing in Public Act 81-131 this
amendatory Act of 1979 shall prevent continuing the
practice of paying expenses involving salaries,
retirement, social security, and State-paid insurance
premiums of State officers by appropriations from the
General Revenue Fund. However, the General Revenue
Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments made on and
after July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of funds from
the Bank and Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the Bank and
Trust Company Fund may be transferred to the
Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under
Section 2105-300 of the Department of Professional
Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois.
Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
the contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be
transferred from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
Financial Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th
General Assembly, or as soon thereafter as practical.
Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year
through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the
State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
Fund in order to help defray the State's operating
costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions
in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended,
or any other law to the contrary, the total sum
transferred during any fiscal year through January 10,
2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues
to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and
Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
(d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
administration expenses shall be deducted from the
total fees collected by the Commissioner and the
remainder transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
Account, unless the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve
Account prior to the transfer equals or exceeds
one-fourth of the total initial appropriations from
the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the subsequent
year, in which case the remainder shall be credited to
State banks and foreign banking corporations and
applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if
no remainder is available for transfer, the balance of
the Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth
of the total initial appropriations for the subsequent
year and the amount transferred is less than 5% of the
total Call Report Fees for the year, additional amounts
needed to make the transfer equal to 5% of the total
Call Report Fees for the year shall be apportioned
amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
foreign banking corporations in the same proportion
that the Call Report Fees of each, respectively, for
the year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected
for the year. The additional amounts assessed shall be
transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For
purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of
the fees collected by the Commissioner shall exclude
the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of
the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
(e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
any public record in his keeping and shall have
authority to levy a reasonable charge for issuing
certifications of any public record in his keeping.
(f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
approval, or service.
(4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports
of any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent
insured by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to
limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
(5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
for officers or employees of every State bank or, after May
31, 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to
be included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of
an out-of-state bank subject to examination by the
Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
examination that the condition of or operation of the
investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,
or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to
the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state
bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney
General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against
the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of directors
thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the nature of
the case may require.
(6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
(a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
of administering the provisions of this Act.
(a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued
by the Commissioner if he determines that the
conditions are necessary or appropriate. These
conditions shall be imposed in writing and shall
continue in effect for the period prescribed by the
Commissioner.
(b) To issue orders against any person, if the
Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an
unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is
occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has
violated, is violating, or is about to violate any law,
rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, or
for the purpose of administering the provisions of this
Act and any rule promulgated in accordance with this
Act.
(b-1) To enter into agreements with a bank
establishing a program to correct the condition of the
bank or its practices.
(c) To appoint hearing officers to execute any of
the powers granted to the Commissioner under this
Section for the purpose of administering this Act and
any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act and
otherwise to authorize, in writing, an officer or
employee of the Office of Banks and Real Estate to
exercise his powers under this Act.
(d) To subpoena witnesses, to compel their
attendance, to administer an oath, to examine any
person under oath, and to require the production of any
relevant books, papers, accounts, and documents in the
course of and pursuant to any investigation being
conducted, or any action being taken, by the
Commissioner in respect of any matter relating to the
duties imposed upon, or the powers vested in, the
Commissioner under the provisions of this Act or any
rule promulgated in accordance with this Act.
(e) To conduct hearings.
(7) Whenever, in the opinion of the Secretary, any
director, officer, employee, or agent of a State bank or
any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank or,
after May 31, 1997, of any branch of an out-of-state bank
or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank shall
have violated any law, rule, or order relating to that bank
or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank,
shall have obstructed or impeded any examination or
investigation by the Secretary, shall have engaged in an
unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of
that bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the
bank, or shall have violated any law or engaged or
participated in any unsafe or unsound practice in
connection with any financial institution or other
business entity such that the character and fitness of the
director, officer, employee, or agent does not assure
reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the State
bank, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. If, in
the opinion of the Secretary, any former director, officer,
employee, or agent of a State bank or any subsidiary or
bank holding company of the bank, prior to the termination
of his or her service with that bank or any subsidiary or
bank holding company of the bank, violated any law, rule,
or order relating to that State bank or any subsidiary or
bank holding company of the bank, obstructed or impeded any
examination or investigation by the Secretary, engaged in
an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of
that bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the
bank, or violated any law or engaged or participated in any
unsafe or unsound practice in connection with any financial
institution or other business entity such that the
character and fitness of the director, officer, employee,
or agent would not have assured reasonable promise of safe
and sound operation of the State bank, the Secretary may
issue an order prohibiting that person from further service
with a bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of
the bank as a director, officer, employee, or agent. An
order issued pursuant to this subsection shall be served
upon the director, officer, employee, or agent. A copy of
the order shall be sent to each director of the bank
affected by registered mail. A copy of the order shall also
be served upon the bank of which he is a director, officer,
employee, or agent, whereupon he shall cease to be a
director, officer, employee, or agent of that bank. The
Secretary may institute a civil action against the
director, officer, or agent of the State bank or, after May
31, 1997, of the branch of the out-of-state bank against
whom any order provided for by this subsection (7) of this
Section 48 has been issued, and against the State bank or,
after May 31, 1997, out-of-state bank, to enforce
compliance with or to enjoin any violation of the terms of
the order. Any person who has been the subject of an order
of removal or an order of prohibition issued by the
Secretary under this subsection or Section 5-6 of the
Corporate Fiduciary Act may not thereafter serve as
director, officer, employee, or agent of any State bank or
of any branch of any out-of-state bank, or of any corporate
fiduciary, as defined in Section 1-5.05 of the Corporate
Fiduciary Act, or of any other entity that is subject to
licensure or regulation by the Division of Banking unless

For purposes of this paragraph (7), "bank holding
company" has the meaning prescribed in Section 2 of the
Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957.
(8) The Commissioner may impose civil penalties of up
to $100,000 against any person for each violation of any

(13) The Secretary may borrow funds from the General
Revenue Fund on behalf of the Bank and Trust Company Fund

there is an economic emergency affecting banking that
requires a borrowing to provide additional funds to the
Bank and Trust Company Fund. The borrowed funds shall be
paid back within 3 years and shall not exceed the total
funding appropriated to the Agency in the previous year.
(14) In addition to the fees authorized in this Act,

against any State bank that does not maintain insurance
with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All fees
collected under this subsection (14) shall be paid into the
Non-insured Institutions Receivership account in the Bank
and Trust Company Fund, as established by the Secretary.
The fees assessed under this subsection (14) shall provide

payments into the Non-insured Institutions Receivership
account. The Secretary may establish by rule a reasonable
manner of assessing fees under this subsection (14).

1. The expense of establishing and maintaining automated
record keeping systems in the offices of the clerks of the
circuit court shall be borne by the county. To defray such
expense in any county having established such an automated
system or which elects to establish such a system, the county

processes the case category for which the fee is charged is
automated or has been approved for automation by the county
