A BILL FOR

 

HB4090LRB101 16448 RJF 65827 b

1    AN ACT concerning finance.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5Unbalanced Budget Response Act.
 
6    Section 5. Legislative intent. The State is currently
7confronted with an unprecedented fiscal crisis. Although the
8Constitution of the State of Illinois requires that spending
9not exceed available revenues, the State is currently spending
10in excess of estimated revenues, which is significantly
11increasing the backlog of unpaid bills. Without substantial
12corrective action taken by the General Assembly, the budget
13will also be unbalanced. This Act is to be liberally construed
14and interpreted in a manner that allows the State to address
15the fiscal crisis.
 
16    Section 10. Definitions. As used in this Act, "agency"
17includes all officers, boards, commissions, departments, and
18agencies of the executive branch of the State government
19created by the Constitution, statute, or Executive Order,
20including, but not limited to, public institutions of higher
21education (as defined in the Board of Higher Education Act).
 

 

 

HB4090- 2 -LRB101 16448 RJF 65827 b

1    Section 15. Designation of contingency reserves. For the
2purposes of balancing the State's budget, the Governor may
3designate, by written notice to the Comptroller, a contingency
4reserve from the amounts appropriated from funds held by the
5Treasurer for the State's fiscal years 2021 and 2022 to any
6agency, including without limitation amounts appropriated
7pursuant to a statutory continuing appropriation; provided,
8however, that the Governor may not designate amounts to be set
9aside as a contingency reserve from amounts that have been
10appropriated for (i) payment of debt service, (ii) to the State
11Board of Education for evidence-based model formula funds to
12the common schools pursuant to Section 18-8.15 of the School
13Code, or (iii) to the State Board of Education for grants or
14aid for early childhood education.
 
15    Section 20. Fund transfers. Notwithstanding any other
16provision of law, for the State's fiscal years 2021 and 2022:
17    (a) at the direction of and upon notification from the
18Governor, the Comptroller shall direct and the Treasurer shall
19transfer an amount specified by the Governor from any fund held
20by the Treasurer to any general fund held by the Treasurer;
21provided, however, that no transfer may be made out of: (i) any
22federal trust fund; (ii) any amount set aside for payment of
23debt service; (iii) amounts held in investments or cash by the
24State retirement systems governed by Articles 2, 14, 15, 16, or

HB4090- 3 -LRB101 16448 RJF 65827 b

1    (b) the Governor, by written notice to the Comptroller, may
2modify statutory transfers out of any fund held by the

4effect to any such modification; provided, however, that no
5modification may be made to statutory transfers out of a
6general fund (i) for payment of debt service, or (ii) to the
7Road Fund.
8    No transfer made pursuant to this Section may reduce the
9cumulative balance of all of the funds held by the Treasurer to
10an amount less than the total debt service payable during the
1112 months immediately following the date of the transfer on any
12bonded indebtedness of the State and any certificates issued
13under the Short Term Borrowing Act. If the Director of the
14Governor's Office of Management and Budget determines that any
15transfer to the general funds from any of the funds from which
16moneys have been transferred under this Section either (i)
17jeopardizes federal funding based on a written communication
18from a federal official or (ii) violates an order of a court of
19competent jurisdiction, then the Director may order the
20Treasurer and Comptroller, in writing, to transfer from the
21General Revenue Fund to that fund all or part of the amounts
22transferred from that fund under this Section.
 
23    Section 25. Payment rate modifications. Notwithstanding
24any other provision of law, for the State's fiscal years 2021
25and 2022, the Governor may modify any rate for payments made by

6(b) of Section 20, savings to be realized by the State due to
7payment rate modifications pursuant to Section 25, and the
8value of payments delayed pursuant to Section 35 shall not
9exceed for each fiscal year the amount by which total State
10spending for that fiscal year is estimated to exceed available
11revenues for that fiscal year, as determined by the Governor's
12Office of Management and Budget.
13    (b) The Governor shall provide notice of each contingency
14reserve designated pursuant to Section 15, transfer made
15pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 20, modification to
16transfers pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 20, payment
17rate modification pursuant to Section 25, and direction to
18delay payments pursuant to Section 35 within 10 business days
19after the action is taken to the Clerk of the House of
20Representatives, the Secretary of the Senate, the Commission on
21Government Forecasting and Accountability, the Comptroller,
