1 | AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Personnel Code is amended by changing | ||||||
5 | Section 12a as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (20 ILCS 415/12a) (from Ch. 127, par. 63b112a)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 12a. Certification of payrolls.
| ||||||
8 | (1) No state disbursing or auditing officer
shall make or | ||||||
9 | approve or take any part in making or approving any payment
for | ||||||
10 | personal service to any person holding a position in the State | ||||||
11 | service
subject to this Act with the exception of those exempt | ||||||
12 | under Section 4c
unless the payroll voucher or account of such | ||||||
13 | pay bears the certification
of the agency head Director , or of | ||||||
14 | his authorized agent , that there has not been a
determination | ||||||
15 | made by the agency Department that any person named in the | ||||||
16 | payroll
voucher or account of such pay was not appointed and | ||||||
17 | employed in accordance
with the provisions of this law and | ||||||
18 | rules, regulations, and orders thereunder.
| ||||||
19 | Auditing by the Department Such certification shall be | ||||||
20 | based either upon verification of the
individual items in each | ||||||
21 | payroll period or upon procedures developed for
avoiding | ||||||
22 | unnecessary repetitive verification when other evidence of
| ||||||
23 | compliance with applicable laws and rules is available. Such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | procedures may
be based either upon a continuation of payroll | ||||||
2 | preparation by individual
agencies or upon the use of a central | ||||||
3 | payroll preparation unit. The
Director may for proper cause | ||||||
4 | withhold certification or approval from an
entire payroll or | ||||||
5 | from any specific item or items thereon.
| ||||||
6 | (2) On and after July 1, 1957, any citizen may maintain a | ||||||
7 | suit to
restrain a disbursing officer from making any payment | ||||||
8 | in contravention of
any provisions of this law, rule, or order | ||||||
9 | thereunder. Any sum paid
contrary to any provision of this law | ||||||
10 | or of any rule, regulation, or order
thereunder may be | ||||||
11 | recovered in an action maintained by any citizen, from
any | ||||||
12 | officer who made, approved, or authorized such payment or who | ||||||
13 | signed a
voucher, payroll, check or warrant for such payment, | ||||||
14 | or from the sureties
on the official bond of any such officer. | ||||||
15 | All moneys recovered in any such
action shall be paid into the | ||||||
16 | State treasury.
