Illinois Code § 805-30

§ 805-30.

Applications for Insured Industrial Project Loans; Procedures. Applications received by the Authority shall be forwarded to a credit review committee consisting of 3 persons experienced in industrial financing selected by the Authority for a review and report concerning the advisability of approving the proposed insurance. The review and report shall include facts about the company's history, job opportunities, stability of employment, financial condition and structure, income statements, market prospects and management, and any other facts material to the insurance request. The report shall include a reasoned opinion as to whether providing the insurance would tend to fulfill the purposes of the Authority and the insurance program. The report shall be advisory in nature only. Payment shall be made to the members of the committee selected by the Authority on a reasonable consultant basis, as the Authority may determine. The credit review committee shall be of such composition, act for such time and have such powers as shall be specified in the agreement or agreements establishing its existence and, to the extent so specified, shall act for the Authority in matters concerning the insurance program authorized by Sections 805-5 through 805-45 of this Act. The Authority shall, on the basis of the application, the report of the credit review committee, the information provided by the local or regional industrial development agency, and any other appropriate information, prepare a report concerning the creditworthiness of the proposed borrower, the loan record of the participating lender, the financial commitment of the participating lender, the manner in which the proposed industrial project will advance the economy of the State and the soundness of the proposed loan. The Fund, or any portion thereof against which a charge has been made, shall be held for the benefit of the holders of the bonds or loans insured under Section 805-20 of this Act, as provided by agreement between the Authority and such holders. The Authority shall be satisfied that the Fund is protected by adequate security on all bonds or loans insured by the Authority. (Source: P.A. 93-205, eff. 1-1-04.)
