    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section
6-1002 as follows:
 
    (55 ILCS 5/6-1002)  (from Ch. 34, par. 6-1002)
    Sec. 6-1002. Contents of annual budget. The annual budget
shall contain: (a) A statement of the receipts and payments and
a statement of the revenues and expenditures of the fiscal year
last ended.
    (b) A statement of all moneys in the county treasury or in
any funds thereof, unexpended at the termination of the fiscal
year last ended, of all amounts due or accruing to such county,
and of all outstanding obligations or liabilities of the county
incurred in any preceding fiscal year.
    (c) Estimates of all probable income for the current fiscal
year and for the ensuing fiscal year covered by the budget,
specifying separately for each of said years the estimated
income from taxes, from fees, and from all other sources. The
estimated income from fees shall indicate both the estimated
total receipts from fees by county fee officers and the
estimated net receipts from fees to be paid into the county
treasury.
    (d) A detailed statement showing estimates of expenditures
for the current fiscal year, revised to the date of such
estimate, and, separately, the proposed expenditures for the
ensuing fiscal year for which the budget is prepared. Said
revised estimates and proposed expenditures shall show the
amounts for current expenses and capital outlay, shall specify
the several objects and purposes of each item of current
expenses, and shall include for each of said years all floating
indebtedness as of the beginning of the year, the amount of
funded debt maturing during the year, the interest accruing on
both floating and funded debt, and all charges fixed or imposed
upon counties by law.
    (e) A schedule of proposed appropriations itemized as
provided for proposed expenditures included in the schedule
prepared in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d)
hereof, as approved by the county board or the board of county
commissioners. Said schedule, when adopted in the manner set
forth herein, shall be known as the annual appropriation
ordinance. An amount not exceeding five per cent. of the total
may be appropriated for contingent, incidental, miscellaneous,
or general county purposes, but no part of the amounts so
appropriated shall be used for purposes for which other
appropriations are made in such budget unless a transfer of
funds is made as authorized by this Division.
    (f) A detailed statement showing any bonuses or increase in
any salary, wage, stipend, or other form of compensation that
is not subject to a collective bargaining agreement for every
agency, department, or any other entity receiving an
appropriation from the county, regardless of whether the
employee receiving them is part of a collective bargaining
unit.
    The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
shall not apply to the first budget prepared under the
provisions of this Division.
    The schedules of proposed appropriations for debt
financing shall indicate all funded or unfunded or floating
indebtedness, the steps taken, if any, to incur additional
indebtedness, and the means and amounts employed or to be
employed for the reduction or payment of existing or proposed
indebtedness or for interest thereon.
    The budget shall classify all estimated receipts and
proposed expenditures, and all amounts in the treasury of the
county, under the several county funds now provided by law.
    At any point following the adoption of the annual budget,
if the county board determines by a 2/3 vote of all members
constituting such board, that revenue received, or to be
received, by the county during the then present fiscal year
totals an amount substantially less than that projected at the
time of adoption of the annual budget for that fiscal year,
such board, by like vote, may adopt an amended budget for the
remainder of the then present fiscal year. The authority of the
county board to amend the annual appropriation ordinance at any
point during the fiscal year shall be the same as its authority
to determine and adopt the original annual budget; such amended
budget shall be prepared as otherwise provided in this Section.
