Illinois Statutes Chapter 105. Schools § 5/2-3.116. Electronic transfer of funds to school districts, regional offices of education, and other providers

§ 2-3.116. Electronic transfer of funds to school districts, regional offices of education, and other providers. The State Board of Education shall, in consultation with the regional superintendents of schools and with the advice and approval of the Comptroller, adopt and implement rules establishing a system for the electronic transfer of funds to school districts, regional offices of education, and other providers entitled to payment under programs administered by the State Board of Education. Beginning July 1, 2002, all payments for school districts, regional offices of education, and other providers entitled to payment under programs administered by the State Board of Education must be disbursed by the Comptroller through electronic funds transfer, except as the State Board of Education otherwise directs. If a school district entitled to payment wishes an electronic payment to be made to the district's regional office of education on the district's behalf, the school board, with the approval of the regional office of education, must provide a resolution to the State Board of Education directing that the electronic deposit be made into the account of the regional office of education.
