SB2843

COURT OF CLAIMS-PROCEDURE

Introduced·1/13/26
Introduced Text

SB2843 amends the Court of Claims Act to establish procedures for handling uncontested claims against the State of Illinois.

SB2843 amends the Court of Claims Act to streamline the process for uncontested claims against the State of Illinois. It mandates that State agencies confirm or reject claims valued at less than $2,500 within 30 days of notification by the Attorney General. If the agency fails to act within this period, it forfeits the right to contest the claim. The Comptroller must then issue payment within 30 days of the court's award. The bill also introduces interest penalties for delayed payments and "catch-up" payments for eligible claimants whose claims were not paid in the year they were filed.
