Illinois HB4340 amends the Court of Claims Act to streamline procedures for uncontested claims, establish filing fees, and ensure timely payments.

HB4340 amends the Court of Claims Act to enhance the efficiency and fairness of claim processing. It mandates that state agencies confirm or reject uncontested claims within 30 days, with failure to act resulting in forfeiture of the right to contest. The bill sets specific filing fees for claims: $15 for claims between $500 and $10,000, and $35 for claims over $10,000. It also requires the court to notify vendors of defects in submitted bills or invoices within 30 days, allowing for corrections. For claims not paid within six months, an interest penalty is added.
