705 ILCS 510/ Medical Fees of State Inmate Escapees Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Whenever a claim is filed with the Department of Human Services or
the Department of
Corrections for payment of
medical fees or charges arising from the medical care or hospitalization of
an escapee from a State controlled charitable, penal or reformatory
institution, who was injured while being recaptured, the Department of Human
Services or the Department
of Corrections, as the case may be, shall conduct an investigation to
determine the cause and nature of the injuries sustained, whether the care
