Illinois § 20

§ 20.

To hold and direct the expenditure of all money which has been or may be received by any officer of the several State facilities under the direction and supervision of the Department, as profit on sales from commissary stores. Such money shall be expended under the direction of the Department for the special comfort, pleasure and amusement of recipients or members and employees, provided that amounts expended for comfort, pleasure and amusement of employees shall not exceed the amount of profits derived from sales made to employees by such commissaries, as determined by the Department. Money received as interest and income on funds deposited for recipients or members of such State facilities shall be expended for the special comfort, pleasure and amusement of the recipients or members of the particular facility where the money is paid or received, except that interest or income on the individual savings accounts or investments of such recipients or members shall not be so expended, but shall accrue to the individual accounts of such recipients or members. Any money belonging to recipients or members separated from facilities described under this Section, in custody of officers thereof, who are separated by death, absolute discharge or unauthorized absence, may, if unclaimed by the recipient or member or the legal representatives thereof for a period of two years, be expended at the direction of the Department for the purposes and in the manner specified above. Articles of personal property, with the exception of clothing, so left in the custody of such officers, shall, if unclaimed for the period of two years, be sold and the money disposed of in the same manner. Clothing left at the facility by recipients or members at the time of separation may be used as determined by the facility if unclaimed by the recipient or member or legal representatives thereof within 30 days after notification.
