(205 ILCS 205/10030)
Sec. 10030. Secretary's possession; power. The Secretary may take possession and control of a savings bank and its assets by posting upon the premises a notice reciting that the Secretary is assuming possession pursuant to this Act and the time when his or her possession shall be deemed to commence, which time shall not pre-date the posting of the notice. Promptly after taking possession and control of a savings bank, if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not appointed as receiver, the Secretary shall file a copy of the notice posted upon the premises in the circuit court in the county in which the savings bank is located, and thereupon the clerk of such court shall note the filing of the notice upon the records of the court, and shall enter such cause as a court action upon the dockets of such court under the name and style of "In the matter of the possession and control of the Secretary of (insert the name of such savings bank)", and thereupon the court wherein the cause is docketed shall be vested with jurisdiction to hear and determine all issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Secretary's possession and control of the savings bank as provided in this Act, and such further issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Secretary's possession and control as may be submitted to the court for its adjudication by the Secretary. When the Secretary has taken possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, then he or she shall be vested with the full powers of management and control, including without limitation the following:
As soon as practical after taking possession, the Secretary shall make his or her examination of the condition of the savings bank and an inventory of the assets. Unless the time shall be extended by order of the court, and unless the Secretary shall have otherwise settled the affairs of a savings bank pursuant to the provisions of this Act, at the termination of 30 days from the time of taking possession and control of a savings bank for the purpose of examination, reorganization or liquidation through receivership, the Secretary shall either terminate his or her possession and control by restoring the savings bank to its board of directors or appoint a receiver and order the liquidation of the savings bank as provided in this Act. All necessary and reasonable expenses of the Secretary's possession and control and of its reorganization shall be borne by the savings bank and may be paid by the Secretary from its assets. If the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is appointed by the Secretary as receiver of a savings bank, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation takes possession of the savings bank, the receivership proceedings and the powers and duties of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall be governed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and regulations promulgated under that Act rather than the provisions of this Act.

Sec. 10035. Secretary's possession; limitation of actions. Except when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has taken possession of the savings bank or is acting as receiver, if the Secretary has taken possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, there shall be a postponement until 6 months after the commencement of the possession of the date upon which any period of limitation fixed by a statute or agreement would otherwise expire on a claim or right of action of the savings bank, or upon which an appeal must be taken or a pleading or other document must be filed by the savings bank in any pending action or proceeding. No judgment, lien, levy, attachment, or other similar legal process shall be enforced upon or satisfied in whole or in part from any asset of the savings bank while it is in the possession of the Secretary, except upon the order of the court referred to in Section 10030 entered in due course pursuant to Section 10090 of this Act. The provisions of this Section shall continue to apply and shall govern notwithstanding the appointment of and the possession by a receiver pursuant to Section 10055 of this Act.

Sec. 10040. Reorganization. The Secretary, while in possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, after according a hearing to interested parties as he or she may determine and upon the order of the court, may propose a reorganization plan. The reorganization plan shall become effective only (1) when the requirements of Section 10045 are satisfied, and (2) when, after reasonable notice of such reorganization, as the case may require (A) depositors and other creditors of such savings bank representing at least 75% in amount of its total deposits and other liabilities as shown by the books of the savings bank, (B) stockholders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the books of the savings bank, or (C) both depositors and other creditors representing at least 75% in amount of the total deposits and other liabilities and stockholders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the books of the savings bank, shall have consented in writing to the plan of reorganization; provided, however, that claims of depositors or other creditors that will be satisfied in full on demand under the provisions of the plan of reorganization shall not be included among the total deposits and other liabilities of the savings bank in determining the 75% required under this Section. When such reorganization becomes effective, all books, records, and assets of the savings bank shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the plan and the affairs of the savings bank shall be conducted by its board of directors in the manner provided by the plan and under the conditions, restrictions, and limitations prescribed by the Secretary. In any reorganization approved and effective as provided in this Section, all depositors and other creditors and stockholders of the savings bank, whether or not they shall have consented to the plan of reorganization, shall be fully and in all respects subject to and bound by its provisions, and claims of all depositors and other creditors shall be treated as if they have consented to the plan of reorganization. A department, agency, or political subdivision of this State holding a claim that will not be paid in full is authorized to participate in a plan of reorganization as any other creditor and shall be subject to and bound by its provisions as any other creditor.

(205 ILCS 205/10050)
Sec. 10050. Reorganization; emergency. Whenever, in the course of reorganization, supervening conditions render the plan of reorganization unfair or its execution impractical, the Secretary may modify the plan, provided the modification is with the written consent of the depositors and other creditors representing at least 75% in amount of the total deposits and other liabilities which are impaired or lessened by the modification, or may, provided the Federal Deposit Insurance has not been appointed, appoint a receiver for liquidation as provided in this Act.

(205 ILCS 205/10055)
Sec. 10055. Appointment of receiver; court proceeding.
(a) If the Secretary determines, which determination may be made at the time of or any time subsequent to his or her taking possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, that no practical possibility exists to reorganize the savings bank after reasonable efforts have been made and that it should be liquidated through receivership, then the Secretary shall appoint a receiver and require of the receiver the bond and security as the Secretary deems proper, and the Secretary, represented by the Attorney General, shall, if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not acting as receiver, file a complaint for the dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the savings bank in the circuit court of the county where such savings bank is located.
(b) Unless the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is acting as receiver for the savings bank, the Secretary, upon taking possession and control of a savings bank and its assets, may and, if he or she has not previously done so, shall, immediately upon filing a complaint for dissolution, make an examination of the affairs of the trust department of the savings bank or appoint a corporate fiduciary or other suitable person to make the examination as the Secretary's agent. The examination shall be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to the authority granted under Section 5-2 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act, as now or hereafter amended, and the corporate fiduciary or other suitable person conducting the examination shall have and may exercise on behalf of the Secretary all of the powers and authority granted to the Secretary thereunder. The report of examination shall, to the extent reasonably possible, identify those governing instruments with specific instructions concerning the appointment of a successor fiduciary. A copy of the report shall be filed in any dissolution proceeding filed by the Secretary. The reasonable fees and necessary expenses of the examining corporate fiduciary or other suitable person, as approved by the Secretary or as recommended by the Secretary and approved by the court if a dissolution proceeding has been filed, shall be borne by the subject savings bank and shall have the same priority for payment as the reasonable and necessary expenses of the Secretary in conducting an examination.
As soon as reasonably can be done, the Secretary, if he or she deems it advisable, shall seek the advice and instruction of the court concerning the removal of the corporate fiduciary as to all of its fiduciary accounts and the appointment of a successor fiduciary, which may be the examining corporate fiduciary, to take over and administer all of the fiduciary accounts being administered by the trust department of the savings bank. The corporate fiduciary or other suitable person appointed to make the examination shall make a proper accounting, in the manner and scope as determined by the Secretary to be practical and advisable under the circumstances, on behalf of the trust department of the savings bank and no guardian ad litem need be appointed to review the accounting.

All persons who may have claims against such savings bank and the receiver to whom the persons have presented their claims may present them to the clerk of the court, and the allowance or disallowance of the claims by the court in connection with such proceedings shall be deemed an adjudication in a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Secretary may remove any receiver appointed by him or her, except the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or such receiver as shall have been appointed through nomination by the creditors. Such a receiver may be removed by the court upon a petition for his or her removal filed by the Secretary after hearing had upon such notice as the court may prescribe. Upon the death, inability to act, resignation, or removal of a receiver the Secretary may appoint his or her successor and, upon the appointment, all rights and duties of his or her predecessor shall at once devolve upon such appointee.

Sec. 10085. Expenses and fees.
(a) In addition to the fees authorized in this Act, the Secretary may assess reasonable receivership fees against any savings bank operating under this Act that does not maintain insurance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All fees collected under this subsection (a) shall be paid into the Non-insured Institutions Receivership account in the Bank and Trust Company Fund, as established by the Secretary. The fees assessed under this subsection (a) shall provide for the expenses that arise from the administration of the receivership of any such institution required to pay into the Non-insured Institutions Receivership account, whether pursuant to this Act, the Illinois Banking Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, the Foreign Banking Office Act, or any other Act that requires payments into the Non-insured Institutions Receivership account.
(b) The Secretary may establish by rule a reasonable manner of assessing fees under subsection (a).
(c) All expenses of a receivership, including reasonable receiver's and attorney's fees approved by the Secretary, shall be paid out of the assets of the savings bank. If the funds in the estate of the savings bank are insufficient to cover the expenses that arise from the administration of a receivership, the Secretary may pay such expenses from the Non-insured Institutions Receivership account. All expenses of any preliminary or other examination into the condition of any such savings bank or receivership and all expenses incident to and in connection with the possession and control of the bank and its assets for the purpose of examination, reorganization, or liquidation through receivership shall be paid out of the assets of the savings bank; if such funds are insufficient, the Secretary may pay such expenses from the Non-insured Institutions Receivership account. The payment authorized under this subsection (c) may be made by the Secretary with moneys and property of the bank in his or her possession and control and shall have priority over all claims.

Sec. 10090. Dividends; dissolution. From time to time during a receivership other than a receivership conducted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Secretary shall make and pay from moneys of the savings bank a ratable dividend on all claims as may be proved to his or her satisfaction or adjudicated by the court. Claims so proven or adjudicated shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum from the date of the appointment of the receiver to the date of payment, but all dividends on a claim shall be applied first to principal. In computing the amount of any dividend to be paid, if the Secretary deems it desirable in the interests of economy of administration and to the interest of the savings bank and its creditors, he or she may pay up to the amount of $10 of each claim or unpaid portion thereof in full. As the proceeds of the assets of the savings bank are collected in the course of liquidation, the Secretary shall make and pay further dividends on all claims previously proven or adjudicated. After one year from the entry of a judgment of dissolution, all unclaimed dividends shall be remitted to the State Treasurer in accordance with the Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, as now or hereafter amended, together with a list of all unpaid claimants, their last known addresses and the amounts unpaid.
