Illinois Statutes Chapter 605. Roads and Bridges § 5/5-702. Distribution made to counties; records of expenditures; maintenance standards

§ 5-702. Payment of motor fuel tax money to any county for the purposes stated in Sections 5-701.1 through 5-701.11 shall be made by the Department of Transportation as soon as may be after the allotment is made.

However, if any county, after having been given reasonable notice by the Department, fails to expend motor fuel tax funds in a manner satisfactory to the Department or fails to have construction contracts approved by the Department or fails to maintain in a manner satisfactory to the Department highways heretofore or hereafter constructed with motor fuel tax funds, no further payment of motor fuel tax funds shall be made to such county for construction or maintenance purposes until it corrects its unsatisfactory use of motor fuel tax funds or secures approval of its construction contracts by the Department or maintains such highways or provides for such maintenance in a manner satisfactory to the Department.

Records of all expenditures of motor fuel tax money made by the county shall be kept in accordance with the system of auditing and accounting prescribed by the Department under Section 4-101.9 of this Code.
