HB4464- 2 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1specified in subsection (a) is $31,374,000,000.
2    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
3contrary, the Auditor General shall examine each Public Act
4authorizing State spending from State general funds and prepare
5a report no later than 30 days after receiving notification of
6the Public Act from the Secretary of State or 60 days after the
7effective date of the Public Act, whichever is earlier. The
8Auditor General shall file the report with the Secretary of
9State and copies with the Governor, the State Treasurer, the
10State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
11Representatives. The report shall indicate: (i) the amount of
12State spending set forth in the applicable Public Act; (ii) the
13total amount of State spending authorized by law for the
14applicable fiscal year as of the date of the report; and (iii)
15whether State spending exceeds the State spending limitation
16set forth in subsection (b). The Auditor General may examine
17multiple Public Acts in one consolidated report, provided that
18each Public Act is examined within the time period mandated by
19this subsection (c). The Auditor General shall issue reports in
20accordance with this Section through June 30, 2028.
21    At the request of the Auditor General, each State agency
22shall, without delay, make available to the Auditor General or

HB4464- 3 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1including information stored in electronic data processing
2systems, which is related to or within the scope of a report
3prepared under this Section. The Auditor General shall report

7    The Auditor General's report shall not be in the nature of

11    (d) If the Auditor General reports that State spending has
12exceeded the State spending limitation set forth in subsection
13(b) and if the Governor has not been presented with a bill or
14bills passed by the General Assembly to reduce State spending
15to a level that does not exceed the State spending limitation
16within 45 calendar days after receipt of the Auditor General's
17report, then the Governor may, for the purpose of reducing
18State spending to a level that does not exceed the State
19spending limitation set forth in subsection (b), designate
20amounts to be set aside as a reserve from the amounts
21appropriated from the State general funds for all boards,
22commissions, agencies, institutions, authorities, colleges,
23universities, and bodies politic and corporate of the State,
24but not other constitutional officers, the legislative or
25judicial branch, the office of the Executive Inspector General,
26or the Executive Ethics Commission. Such a designation must be

 

 

HB4464- 4 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

2period. If the Governor designates amounts to be set aside as a
3reserve, the Governor shall give notice of the designation to
4the Auditor General, the State Treasurer, the State
5Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The
6amounts placed in reserves shall not be transferred, obligated,
7encumbered, expended, or otherwise committed unless so
8authorized by law. Any amount placed in reserves is not State
9spending and shall not be considered when calculating the total
10amount of State spending. Any Public Act authorizing the use of
11amounts placed in reserve by the Governor is considered State
12spending, unless such Public Act authorizes the use of amounts
13placed in reserves in response to a fiscal emergency under
14subsection (g).
15    (e) If the Auditor General reports under subsection (c)
16that State spending has exceeded the State spending limitation
17set forth in subsection (b), then the Auditor General shall
18issue a supplemental report no sooner than the 61st day and no
19later than the 65th day after issuing the report pursuant to
20subsection (c). The supplemental report shall: (i) summarize
21details of actions taken by the General Assembly and the
22Governor after the issuance of the initial report to reduce
23State spending, if any, (ii) indicate whether the level of
24State spending has changed since the initial report, and (iii)
25indicate whether State spending exceeds the State spending
26limitation. The Auditor General shall file the report with the

 

 

HB4464- 5 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1Secretary of State and copies with the Governor, the State
2Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
3Representatives. If the supplemental report of the Auditor
4General provides that State spending exceeds the State spending
5limitation, then the compensation of members of the General
6Assembly shall be withheld in accordance with subsection (a)
7beginning with the first pay period after the issuance of the
8supplemental report.
9    (f) Notwithstanding the State spending limitation set
10forth in subsection (b) of this Section, the Governor may
11declare a fiscal emergency by filing a declaration with the
12Secretary of State and copies with the State Treasurer, the
13State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
14Representatives. The declaration must be limited to only one
15State fiscal year, set forth compelling reasons for declaring a
16fiscal emergency, and request a specific dollar amount. Unless,
17within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Governor's
18declaration, the State Comptroller or State Treasurer notifies
19the Senate and the House of Representatives that he or she does
20not concur in the Governor's declaration, State spending
21authorized by law to address the fiscal emergency in an amount
22no greater than the dollar amount specified in the declaration
23shall not be considered "State spending" for purposes of the
24State spending limitation.

9following authorization by a Public Act. For the purpose of
10this definition, "appropriation" means authority to spend
11money from a State general fund for a specific amount, purpose,
12and time period, including any supplemental appropriation or
13continuing appropriation, but does not include
14reappropriations from a previous fiscal year. For the purpose

1    Sec. 2. Authorization for Bonds. The State of Illinois is
2authorized to issue, sell and provide for the retirement of
3General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois for the
4categories and specific purposes expressed in Sections 2
5through 8 of this Act, in the total amount of $85,256,839,969
6$78,256,839,969.
7    The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section 16 of
8this Act are herein called "Bonds".
9    Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
10$2,200,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
11issued and sold in accordance with the Baccalaureate Savings
12Act in the form of General Obligation College Savings Bonds.
13    Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
14$300,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
15issued and sold in accordance with the Retirement Savings Act
16in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
17    Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, the
18additional $10,000,000,000 authorized by Public Act 93-2, the
19$3,466,000,000 authorized by Public Act 96-43, and the
20$4,096,348,300 authorized by Public Act 96-1497 shall be used

2Act 100-587 shall be used solely as provided in Section 7.7.

4additional $7,000,000,000 authorized by Section 7.8 shall be
5used solely as provided in Section 7.8 and shall be issued by

7    The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
8Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method of
9financing the long-term capital needs of the State. This Act
10will permit the issuance of a multi-purpose General Obligation
11Bond with uniform terms and features. This will not only lower
12the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of
13issuing debt by improving the marketability of Illinois General
14Obligation Bonds.

10Administrative Code of Illinois.

12writing, Bonds may be issued even if the issuance does not

HB4464- 14 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1(in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale
2Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary
3from time to time depending on criteria established in such
4Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
5limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
6rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
7necessary to cause Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be
8remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their
9principal amount, and may provide for appointment of a bank,
10trust company, investment bank, or other financial institution
11to serve as remarketing agent in that connection. The Bond Sale
12Order may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions
13for establishing alternative interest rates, different
14security or claim priorities, or different call or amortization
15provisions will apply during such times as Variable Rate Bonds
16of any series are held by a person providing credit or
17liquidity enhancement arrangements for such Bonds as
18authorized in subsection (b) of this Section. The Bond Sale
19Order may also provide for such variable interest rates to be
20established pursuant to a process generally known as an auction
21rate process and may provide for appointment of one or more
22financial institutions to serve as auction agents and
23broker-dealers in connection with the establishment of such
24interest rates and the sale and remarketing of such Bonds.

26the State may enter into arrangements to provide additional

 

 

HB4464- 15 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1security and liquidity for such Bonds, including, without
2limitation, bond or interest rate insurance or letters of
3credit, lines of credit, bond purchase contracts, or other
4arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or
5purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
6Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into
7contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
8arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
9of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
10that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
11be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
12arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
13together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
14stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
15would bear in the absence of such arrangements.
16    The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated
17to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with
18respect to interest rate protection or exchange agreements,
19guarantees, or financial futures contracts for the purpose of
20limiting, reducing, or managing interest rate exposure. The
21authority granted under this paragraph, however, shall not
22increase the principal amount of Bonds authorized to be issued
23by law. The arrangements may be executed and delivered by the
24Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget on
25behalf of the State. Net payments for such arrangements shall
26constitute interest on the Bonds and shall be paid from the

 

 

HB4464- 16 -LRB101 16443 RJF 65822 b

1General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund. The
2Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
3shall at least annually certify to the Governor and the State
4Comptroller his or her estimate of the amounts of such net
5payments to be included in the calculation of interest required
6to be paid by the State.
7    (c) Prior to the issuance of any Variable Rate Bonds
8pursuant to subsection (a), the Director of the Governor's
9Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
10risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
11variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
1220%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
13outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
14terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
15from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of
16Management and Budget but in no event shall any amendment cause
17the permitted level of the State's variable rate exposure with
18respect to Bonds to exceed 20%.
19    (d) "Build America Bonds" in this Section means Bonds
20authorized by Section 54AA of the Internal Revenue Code of
211986, as amended ("Internal Revenue Code"), and bonds issued

2recommendation by the Director of the Governor's Office of
