(a) Beginning July 1, 2014, the aggregate appropriations |

(b) Beginning July 1, 2014, the aggregate appropriations |
available for legislative operations from all State funds for |

for these purposes. The General Assembly may appropriate lesser |
amounts by law.
|
Section 55. The General Assembly Compensation Act is |
amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
|
(25 ILCS 115/1) (from Ch. 63, par. 14) |
Sec. 1. Each member of the General Assembly shall receive |
an annual salary
of $28,000 or as set by the Compensation |

their services as |
such officers, committee chairmen and committee

or, as follows, whichever is greater: Beginning the second

President and the |
minority leader of the Senate, $16,000 each; the
majority |

assistant minority leaders in
the House of Representatives, |
$10,500 each; 2 Deputy
Majority leaders in the House of |
Representatives $11,500 each; and 2 Deputy
Minority leaders in |

|
each; and beginning the second Wednesday in January, 1989, the |
chairman and
minority spokesman of each standing and select |

Representatives, $6,000 each. A |
member who serves in more than one
position as an officer, |
committee chairman, or committee minority spokesman
shall |
receive only one additional amount based on the position paying |
the
highest additional amount. The
compensation provided for in |
this Section to be paid per year to members
of the General |
Assembly, including the additional sums payable per year
to |
|
officers of the General Assembly shall be paid in 12 equal |
monthly
installments. The first such installment is payable on |
January 31,
1977. All subsequent equal monthly installments are |
payable on the last
working day of the month. A member who has |
held office any part of a
month is entitled to compensation for |
an entire month. |
Mileage shall be paid at the rate of 20 cents per mile |
before January
9, 1985, and at the mileage allowance rate in |
effect under regulations
promulgated pursuant to 5 U.S.C. |

of actual |
highway miles necessarily and conveniently traveled by the
most |
feasible route to be present upon convening of the sessions of |
the
General Assembly by such member in each and every trip |
during each
session in going to and returning from the seat of |
government, to be
computed by the Comptroller. A member |
traveling by public
transportation for such purposes, however, |
shall be paid his actual cost
of that transportation instead of |
on the mileage rate if his cost of
public transportation |
exceeds the amount to which he would be entitled
on a mileage |
basis. No member may be paid, whether on a mileage basis
or for |
actual costs of public transportation, for more than one such
|
trip for each week the General Assembly is actually in session. |
Each
member shall also receive an allowance of $36 per day for |
lodging and
meals while in attendance at sessions
of the |
General Assembly before January 9, 1985; beginning January 9,
|
1985, such food and lodging allowance shall be equal to the |
|
amount per day
permitted to be deducted for such expenses under |
the Internal Revenue Code;
however, beginning May 31, 1995, no |
allowance for food and lodging while in
attendance at sessions |
is authorized for periods of time after the last day in
May of |
each calendar year, except (i) if the General Assembly is |
convened in
special session by either the Governor or the |
presiding officers of both
houses, as provided by subsection |
(b) of Section 5 of Article IV of the
Illinois Constitution or |
(ii) if the
General Assembly is convened to consider bills |
vetoed, item vetoed, reduced, or
returned with specific |
recommendations for change by the Governor as provided
in |
Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution. For |
fiscal year 2011 and for session days in fiscal years 2012, |
2013, and 2014, and 2015 only (i) the allowance for lodging and |
meals is $111 per day and (ii) mileage for automobile travel |
shall be reimbursed at a rate of $0.39 per mile. |
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, |
beginning in fiscal year 2012, travel reimbursement for
General |
Assembly members on non-session days shall be
calculated using |
the guidelines set forth by the Legislative
Travel Control |
Board, except that fiscal year 2012, 2013, and 2014, and 2015 |
mileage reimbursement is set at a rate of $0.39 per mile. |
If a member dies having received only a portion of the |
amount payable
as compensation, the unpaid balance shall be |
paid to the surviving
spouse of such member, or, if there be |
none, to the estate of such member. |

former or current provision of this Act, any other law, any |
report of the Compensation Review Board, or any resolution of |
the General Assembly to the contrary, members of the General |
Assembly, State's attorneys, other than the county supplement, |
elected executive branch constitutional officers of State |
government, and persons in certain appointed offices of State |
government, including the membership of State departments, |
agencies, boards, and commissions, whose annual compensation |
previously was recommended or determined by the Compensation |
Review Board, are prohibited from receiving and shall not |
receive any increase in compensation that would otherwise apply |
based on a cost of living adjustment, as authorized by Senate |
Joint Resolution 192 of the 86th General Assembly, for or |
during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014.
|
Section 65. The State Finance Act is amended by adding |
Section 5k as follows:
|
|
(30 ILCS 105/5k new) |
Sec. 5k. Cash flow borrowing and general funds liquidity; |
FY15. |
(a) In order to meet cash flow deficits and to maintain |
liquidity in the General Revenue Fund and the Health Insurance |
Reserve Fund, on and after July 1, 2014 and through June 30, |
2015, the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller shall make |
transfers to the General Revenue Fund and the Health Insurance |
Reserve Fund, as directed by the Governor, out of special funds |
of the State, to the extent allowed by federal law. No such |
transfer may reduce the cumulative balance of all of the |
special funds of the State to an amount less than the total |
debt service payable during the 12 months immediately following |
the date of the transfer on any bonded indebtedness of the |
State and any certificates issued under the Short Term |
Borrowing Act. At no time shall the outstanding total transfers |
made from the special funds of the State to the General Revenue |
Fund and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund under this Section |
exceed $650,000,000; once the amount of $650,000,000 has been |
transferred from the special funds of the State to the General |
Revenue Fund and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, additional |
transfers may be made from the special funds of the State to |
the General Revenue Fund and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund |
under this Section only to the extent that moneys have first |
been re-transferred from the General Revenue Fund and the |
Health Insurance Reserve Fund to those special funds of the |
|
State. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no |
such transfer may be made from any special fund that is |
exclusively collected by or appropriated to any other |
constitutional officer without the written approval of that |
constitutional officer. |
(b) If moneys have been transferred to the General Revenue |
Fund and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund pursuant to |
subsection (a) of this Section, this amendatory Act of the 98th |
General Assembly shall constitute the continuing authority for |
and direction to the State Treasurer and State Comptroller to |
reimburse the funds of origin from the General Revenue Fund by |
transferring to the funds of origin, at such times and in such |
amounts as directed by the Governor when necessary to support |
appropriated expenditures from the funds, an amount equal to |
that transferred from them plus any interest that would have |
accrued thereon had the transfer not occurred, except that any |
moneys transferred pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section |
shall be repaid to the fund of origin within 18 months after |
the date on which they were borrowed. When any of the funds |
from which moneys have been transferred pursuant to subsection |
(a) have insufficient cash from which the State Comptroller may |
make expenditures properly supported by appropriations from |
the fund, then the State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall |
transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the fund only such |
amount as is immediately necessary to satisfy outstanding |
expenditure obligations on a timely basis. |
|
(c) On the first day of each quarterly period in each |
fiscal year, until such time as a report indicates that all |
moneys borrowed and interest pursuant to this Section have been |
repaid, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall |
provide to the President and the Minority Leader of the Senate, |
the Speaker and the Minority Leader of the House of |
Representatives, and the Commission on Government Forecasting |
and Accountability a report on all transfers made pursuant to |
this Section in the prior quarterly period. The report must be |
provided in electronic format. The report must include all of |
the following: |
(1) The date each transfer was made. |
(2) The amount of each transfer. |
(3) In the case of a transfer from the General Revenue |
Fund to a fund of origin pursuant to subsection (b) of this |
Section, the amount of interest being paid to the fund of |
origin. |
(4) The end of day balance of the fund of
origin, the |
General Revenue Fund and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund |
on the date the transfer was made.
|
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon |
becoming law.
