Sec. 95. Youth Drug Abuse Prevention Fund.
(a) Twelve and one-half percent of all amounts collected as fines pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be paid into the Youth Drug Abuse Prevention Fund created by the Controlled Substances Act in the State treasury, to be used by the Department for the funding of programs and services for drug-abuse treatment, and prevention and education services, for juveniles.
(b) Eighty-seven and one-half percent of the proceeds of all fines received under the provisions of this Act shall be transmitted to and deposited into the State treasury and distributed as follows:
(1) If such seizure was made by a combination of law
enforcement personnel representing differing units of local government, the court levying the fine shall equitably allocate 50% of the fine among these units of local government and shall allocate 37.5% to the county general corporate fund. If the seizure was made by law enforcement personnel representing a unit of local government from a municipality where the number of inhabitants exceeds 2 million in population, the court levying the fine shall allocate 87.5% of the fine to that unit of local government. If the seizure was made by a combination of law enforcement personnel representing differing units of local government and if at least one of those units represents a municipality where the number of inhabitants exceeds 2 million in population, the court shall equitably allocate 87.5% of the proceeds of the fines received among the differing units of local government.
(2) If such seizure was made by State law
enforcement personnel, then the court shall allocate 37.5% to the State treasury and 50% to the county general corporate fund.
(3) If a State law enforcement agency in combination
with any law enforcement agency or agencies of a unit or units of local government conducted the seizure, the court shall equitably allocate 37.5% of the fines to or among the law enforcement agency or agencies of the unit or units of local government that conducted the seizure and shall allocate 50% to the county general corporate fund.
(c) The proceeds of all fines allocated to the law enforcement agency or agencies of the unit or units of local government pursuant to subsection (b) shall be made available to that law enforcement agency as expendable receipts for use in the enforcement of laws regulating controlled substances and cannabis. The proceeds of fines awarded to the State treasury shall be deposited in a special fund known as the Drug Traffic Prevention Fund, except that amounts distributed to the Secretary of State shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Evidence Fund to be used as provided in Section 2-115 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Moneys from this Fund may be used by the Department of State Police for use in the enforcement of laws regulating controlled substances and cannabis; to satisfy funding provisions of the Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act; to defray costs and expenses associated with returning violators of the Cannabis Control Act and this Act only, as provided in those Acts, when punishment of the crime shall be confinement of the criminal in the penitentiary; and all other moneys shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund in the State treasury.
