Sec. 411.4. Reimbursement of unit of government for emergency response.
(a) As used in this Section, "emergency response" means the act of collecting evidence from or securing a site where controlled substances were manufactured, or where by-products from the manufacture of controlled substances are present, and cleaning up the site, whether these actions are performed by public entities or private contractors paid by public entities.
(b) Every person convicted of violating Section 401, 407, or 407.2 of this Act whose violation proximately caused any incident resulting in an appropriate emergency response shall be liable for the expense of an emergency response and shall be assessed a fine of $750, payable to the circuit clerk, who shall distribute the money to the law enforcement agency that made the arrest. If the person has been previously convicted of violating Section 401, 407, or 407.2 of this Act, the fine shall be $1,000, and the circuit clerk shall distribute the money to the law enforcement agency that made the arrest. In the event that more than one agency is responsible for the arrest, the amount payable to law enforcement agencies shall be shared equally. Any moneys received by a law enforcement agency under this Section shall be used for law enforcement expenses.
Any moneys collected for the Illinois State Police shall be deposited into the Traffic and Criminal Conviction Surcharge Fund.
