Illinois Code § 6

§ 6.

Reimbursement to the Fund. The responsible party shall reimburse the Fund for money provided to emergency response agencies. (a) A voluntary contribution to the Fund or directly to an emergency response agency or private contractor does not constitute an admission of responsibility relative to this Act or to any other State or federal laws or regulations. (b) If no party to the incident provides reimbursement to the emergency responder or to the Fund, the Attorney General may, at the request of the State Fire Marshal, institute a civil action to recover costs. (c) In the event that the emergency response agency receives payment from any responsible party or the federal government, the emergency response agency shall pay into the Fund an amount equal to any reimbursement received from the Fund for that incident.
