Section 1731 o
f the CUIC states:
“Any person or employing unit that acquires the organization, trade or business, or substantially all the assets thereof, of an
employer shall withhold in trust money or other property sufficient in amount or value to cover the amount of any contributions,
interest and penalties due or unpaid from such employer until such employer produces a certificate from the department stating
that no contributions, interest or penalties are due. If such employer does not produce such certificate, the acquiring person or
employing unit shall pay the amount or the value of the property so withheld to the department at the time of such acquisition.”
Section 1732(a) of the CUIC states:
“Upon request of either of the parties to an acquisition as described in Section 1731, the department shall within 30 days issue a
certificate, or a statement showing the amount of any contributions, interest and penalties claimed to be due. The failure to issue
a certificate or a statement within the period of 30 days shall be deemed equivalent to the issuance of a certificate stating that no
contributions, interest or penalties are due.”
Section 1732(b) of the CUIC states:
“If the department issues a statement showing the amount of contributions, interest and penalties claimed to be due, the amount
stated therein shall be withheld and paid to the department such amount, however, not to exceed the purchase price. The
issuance of any certificate stating that no contributions, interest and penalties are due, or the failure to issue such certificate or
statement within the period of 30 days shall not release the employer from liability on account of any contributions, interest and
penalties then or thereafter determined to be due from him, but shall release the acquiring person or employing unit from any
further liability on account of any such contributions, interest and penalties.”
