23 | agency may transfer amounts among its respective | ||||||
24 | appropriations within the same treasury fund for personal | ||||||
25 | services, employee retirement contributions paid by employer, | ||||||
26 | and State contributions to retirement systems. |

| ||||||
14 | appropriation for employee retirement contributions paid by | ||||||
15 | the employer,
any transfer by that agency into an appropriation | ||||||
16 | for personal services
must be accompanied by a corresponding | ||||||
17 | transfer into the appropriation for
employee retirement | ||||||
18 | contributions paid by the employer, in an amount
sufficient to | ||||||
19 | meet the employer share of the employee contributions
required | ||||||
20 | to be remitted to the retirement system. | ||||||
21 | (a-4) Long-Term Care Rebalancing. The Governor may | ||||||
22 | designate amounts set aside for institutional services | ||||||
23 | appropriated from the General Revenue Fund or any other State | ||||||
24 | fund that receives monies for long-term care services to be | ||||||
25 | transferred to all State agencies responsible for the | ||||||
26 | administration of community-based long-term care programs, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | including, but not limited to, community-based long-term care | ||||||
2 | programs administered by the Department of Healthcare and | ||||||
3 | Family Services, the Department of Human Services, and the | ||||||
4 | Department on Aging, provided that the Director of Healthcare | ||||||
5 | and Family Services first certifies that the amounts being | ||||||
6 | transferred are necessary for the purpose of assisting persons | ||||||
7 | in or at risk of being in institutional care to transition to | ||||||
8 | community-based settings, including the financial data needed | ||||||
9 | to prove the need for the transfer of funds. The total amounts | ||||||

21 | or invoice for goods or services
furnished to the State, as | ||||||
22 | defined in Section 1, properly approved in
accordance with | ||||||
23 | rules promulgated under Section 3-3, the State official or
| ||||||
24 | agency shall pay interest to the vendor in accordance with the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | following:
| ||||||
2 | (1) Any bill, except a bill submitted under Article V | ||||||

6 | issued to the payee within 60 days of receipt
of a proper | ||||||
7 | bill or invoice.
If payment is not issued to the payee | ||||||
8 | within this 60-day
period, an
interest penalty of 1.0% of | ||||||
9 | any amount approved and unpaid shall be added
for each | ||||||
10 | month or fraction thereof after the end of this 60-day | ||||||
11 | period,
until final payment is made. Any bill, except a | ||||||
12 | bill for pharmacy
or nursing facility services or goods, | ||||||
13 | and except as provided under paragraph (1.05) of this | ||||||
14 | Section, submitted under Article V of the Illinois Public | ||||||
15 | Aid Code approved for payment under this Section must be | ||||||
16 | paid

for each month or fraction thereof after the | ||||||
21 | end of this 60-day period,
until final payment is made. Any | ||||||
22 | bill for pharmacy or nursing facility services or
goods | ||||||
23 | submitted under Article V of the Illinois Public Aid
Code, | ||||||
24 | except as provided under paragraph (1.05) of this Section, | ||||||

2 | the payee within this 60-day period, an interest
penalty of | ||||||
3 | 1.0% of any amount approved and unpaid shall be
added for | ||||||
4 | each month or fraction thereof after the end of this 60-day | ||||||
5 | period, until final payment is made.
| ||||||

7 | years, any bill approved for payment under this Section | ||||||
8 | must be paid
or the payment issued to the payee within 90 | ||||||
9 | days of receipt

If payment is | ||||||
10 | not issued to the payee within this 90-day
period, an
| ||||||
11 | interest penalty of 1.0% of any amount approved and unpaid | ||||||
12 | shall be added

until final | ||||||
15 | payment is made.
| ||||||
16 | (1.1) A State agency shall review in a timely manner | ||||||
17 | each bill or
invoice after its receipt. If the
State agency | ||||||
18 | determines that the bill or invoice contains a defect | ||||||
19 | making it
unable to process the payment request, the agency
| ||||||
20 | shall notify the vendor requesting payment as soon as | ||||||
21 | possible after
discovering the
defect pursuant to rules | ||||||
22 | promulgated under Section 3-3; provided, however, that the | ||||||
23 | notice for construction related bills or invoices must be | ||||||
24 | given not later than 30 days after the bill or invoice was | ||||||
25 | first submitted. The notice shall
identify the defect and | ||||||
26 | any additional information
necessary to correct the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defect. If one or more items on a construction related bill | ||||||
2 | or invoice are disapproved, but not the entire bill or | ||||||
3 | invoice, then the portion that is not disapproved shall be | ||||||
4 | paid.
| ||||||
5 | (2) Where a State official or agency is late in payment | ||||||
6 | of a
vendor's bill or invoice properly approved in | ||||||
7 | accordance with this Act, and
different late payment terms | ||||||
8 | are not reduced to writing as a contractual
agreement, the | ||||||
9 | State official or agency shall automatically pay interest
| ||||||
10 | penalties required by this Section amounting to $50 or more | ||||||
11 | to the appropriate
vendor. Each agency shall be responsible | ||||||
12 | for determining whether an interest
penalty
is
owed and
for | ||||||
13 | paying the interest to the vendor. Except as provided in | ||||||
14 | paragraph (4), an individual interest payment amounting to | ||||||
15 | $5 or less shall not be paid by the State.
Interest due to | ||||||
16 | a vendor that amounts to greater than $5 and less than $50 | ||||||
17 | shall not be paid but shall be accrued until all interest | ||||||
18 | due the vendor for all similar warrants exceeds $50, at | ||||||
19 | which time the accrued interest shall be payable and | ||||||
20 | interest will begin accruing again, except that interest | ||||||
21 | accrued as of the end of the fiscal year that does not | ||||||
22 | exceed $50 shall be payable at that time. In the event an
| ||||||
23 | individual has paid a vendor for services in advance, the | ||||||
24 | provisions of this
Section shall apply until payment is | ||||||
25 | made to that individual.
| ||||||
26 | (3) The provisions of Public Act 96-1501 reducing the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interest rate on pharmacy claims under Article V of the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Public Aid Code to 1.0% per month shall apply to | ||||||
3 | any pharmacy bills for services and goods under Article V | ||||||
4 | of the Illinois Public Aid Code received on or after the | ||||||
5 | date 60 days before January 25, 2011 (the effective date of | ||||||
6 | Public Act 96-1501) except as provided under paragraph | ||||||
7 | (1.05) of this Section. | ||||||
8 | (4) Interest amounting to less than $5 shall not be | ||||||
9 | paid by the State, except for claims (i) to the Department | ||||||
10 | of Healthcare and Family Services or the Department of | ||||||
11 | Human Services, (ii) pursuant to Article V of the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Public Aid Code, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance | ||||||
13 | Act, or the Children's Health Insurance Program Act, and | ||||||
14 | (iii) made (A) by pharmacies for prescriptive services or | ||||||
15 | (B) by any federally qualified health center for | ||||||
16 | prescriptive services or any other services. | ||||||
17 | Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, interest | ||||||
18 | may not be paid under this Act when: (1) a Chief Procurement | ||||||
19 | Officer has voided the underlying contract for goods or | ||||||
20 | services under Article 50 of the Illinois Procurement Code; or | ||||||
21 | (2) the Auditor General is conducting a performance or program | ||||||
22 | audit and the Comptroller has held or is holding for review a | ||||||
23 | related contract or vouchers for payment of goods or services | ||||||
24 | in the exercise of duties under Section 9 of the State | ||||||
25 | Comptroller Act. In such event, interest shall not accrue | ||||||
26 | during the pendency of the Auditor General's review. |
