16 | | the county treasurer's
possession as of the last day of the |

|
| | HB1726 Engrossed | - 12 - | LRB102 13675 HLH 19025 b |
|
|
1 | | Treasurer shall give the county treasurer a receipt
for the |
2 | | amount transmitted to the State Treasurer. Except as provided |
3 | | in subsection (a-5) of this Section, if any county treasurer |
4 | | fails
to pay to the State Treasurer all amounts that may be due |
5 | | and payable under
this Act as required by this Section, the |
6 | | county treasurer shall pay to the
State Treasurer, as a |
7 | | penalty, a sum of money equal to the
interest on the amounts |
8 | | not paid at the rate of 1% per month from the time those
|
9 | | amounts are due by the county treasurer until those amounts |
10 | | are paid. The
sureties upon the official bond of the county |
11 | | treasurer shall be security
for the payment of the penalty. |

|
15 | | circuit court within the county wherein the county treasurer |

and the penalty, when recovered, shall be paid |
17 | | into the State treasury.
The civil action to recover the |
18 | | penalty shall be brought by the State
treasurer within 10 days |
19 | | after
the failure of the county treasurer to pay to the State |
20 | | Treasurer any
amounts collected by the county treasurer within |
21 | | the time required by this Act. Failure
to bring the action |
22 | | within that time shall not prevent the bringing of the
action |
23 | | thereafter. It is the duty of the State Treasurer to
make |
24 | | necessary and proper investigation to determine what amounts |
25 | | should
be paid under this Act.
|

|
| | HB1726 Engrossed | - 13 - | LRB102 13675 HLH 19025 b |
|
|
1 | | subsection (a) of this Section on a case-by-case basis if the |
2 | | State Treasurer finds that imposing penalties would be |
3 | | unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome because the delay in |
4 | | payment was due to an incident caused by the operation of an |
5 | | extraordinary force, including, but not limited to, the |
6 | | occurrence of a natural disaster, that cannot be foreseen, |
7 | | that cannot be avoided by the exercise of due care, and for |
8 | | which no person can be held liable. |

the effective date of this Act, |
15 | | and before September 1, 2012, the State Treasurer
shall |
16 | | transfer from the General Revenue Fund to

19 | | excess amounts from the Estate Tax Refund Fund to the General |
