Except as otherwise provided in this Section with respect to the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal, the circuit court of any county wherein a hearing is held shall have power to review all final administrative decisions of the Department in administering the provision of this Article: Provided that if the administrative proceeding which is to be reviewed judicially is a claim for refund proceeding commenced under this Article and Section 2a of “An Act in relation to the payment and disposition of moneys received by officers and employees of the State of Illinois by virtue of their office or employment”, approved June 9, 1911, as amended, 1 the circuit court having jurisdiction of the action for judicial review under this Section and under the Administrative Review Law 2 shall be the same court that entered the temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction which is provided for in Section 2a of “An Act in relation to the payment and disposition of moneys received by officers and employees of the State of Illinois by virtue of their office or employment”, and which enables such claim proceeding to be processed and disposed of as a claim for refund proceeding rather than as a claim for credit proceeding.
