Public Act 100-0124 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Personnel Code is amended by changing | ||||
Section 12a as follows:
| ||||
(20 ILCS 415/12a) (from Ch. 127, par. 63b112a)
| ||||
Sec. 12a. Certification of payrolls.
| ||||
(1) No state disbursing or auditing officer
shall make or | ||||
approve or take any part in making or approving any payment
for | ||||
personal service to any person holding a position in the State | ||||
service
subject to this Act with the exception of those exempt | ||||
under Section 4c
unless the payroll voucher or account of such | ||||
pay bears the certification
of the agency head Director , or of | ||||
his authorized agent , that there has not been a
determination | ||||
made by the agency Department that any person named in the | ||||
payroll
voucher or account of such pay was not appointed and | ||||
employed in accordance
with the provisions of this law and | ||||
rules, regulations, and orders thereunder.
| ||||
Auditing by the Department Such certification shall be | ||||
based either upon verification of the
individual items in each | ||||
payroll period or upon procedures developed for
avoiding | ||||
unnecessary repetitive verification when other evidence of
| ||||
compliance with applicable laws and rules is available. Such |
procedures may
be based either upon a continuation of payroll | ||
preparation by individual
agencies or upon the use of a central | ||
payroll preparation unit. The
Director may for proper cause | ||
withhold certification or approval from an
entire payroll or | ||
from any specific item or items thereon.
| ||
(2) On and after July 1, 1957, any citizen may maintain a | ||
suit to
restrain a disbursing officer from making any payment | ||
in contravention of
any provisions of this law, rule, or order | ||
thereunder. Any sum paid
contrary to any provision of this law | ||
or of any rule, regulation, or order
thereunder may be | ||
recovered in an action maintained by any citizen, from
any | ||
officer who made, approved, or authorized such payment or who | ||
signed a
voucher, payroll, check or warrant for such payment, | ||
or from the sureties
on the official bond of any such officer. | ||
All moneys recovered in any such
action shall be paid into the | ||
State treasury.
