Provides for imposition of emergency tax. Establishes the Past Due Paydown Fund, to which the Comptroller shall transfer any amount necessary up to the total past due operating debt owed by the State as of the close of fiscal year 2011, and provides that the General Assembly may authorize transfers, appropriations, and allocations from the fund only to fund the costs of paying down the remaining past due debt until such debt is zero. Provides that any remaining funds shall be transferred to the Common School Fund and the Education Assistance Fund. Establishes the State Budget Stabilization Fund to fund the costs of State government up to the expenditure limit in years when State revenues are less than the amount necessary to finance the level of expenditures.
