(30 ILCS 105/6t) (from Ch. 127, par. 142t)

Sec. 6t. The Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund is created and there shall be paid into the Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund the monies contributed by and received from Public Community College Districts, Elementary, Secondary, and Unit School Districts, and Vocational Education Facilities, provided, however, no monies shall be required from a participating Public Community College District, Elementary, Secondary, or Unit School District, or Vocational Education Facility more than 30 days prior to anticipated need under the particular contract for the Public Community College District, Elementary, Secondary, or Unit School District, or Vocational Education Facility. No monies in any fund in the State Treasury, nor any funds under the control or beneficial control of any state agency, university, college, department, commission, board or any other unit of state government shall be deposited, paid into, or by any other means caused to be placed into the Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund, except for federal funds, bid bond forfeitures, and insurance proceeds as provided for below.

There shall be paid into the Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund all federal funds to be utilized for the construction of capital projects under the jurisdiction of the Capital Development Board, and all proceeds resulting from such federal funds. All such funds shall be remitted to the Capital Development Board within 10 working days of their receipt by the receiving authority.

There shall also be paid into this Fund all monies designated as gifts, donations or charitable contributions which may be contributed by an individual or entity, whether public or private, for a specific capital improvement project.

There shall also be paid into this Fund all proceeds from bid bond forfeitures in connection with any project formally bid and awarded by the Capital Development Board.

There shall also be paid into this Fund all builders risk insurance policy proceeds and all other funds recovered from contractors, sureties, architects, material suppliers or other persons contracting with the Capital Development Board for capital improvement projects which are received by way of reimbursement for losses resulting from destruction of or damage to capital improvement projects while under construction by the Capital Development Board or received by way of settlement agreement or court order.

The monies in the Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund shall be expended only for actual contracts let, and then only for the specific project for which funds were received in accordance with the judgment of the Capital Development Board, compatible with the duties and obligations of the Capital Development Board in furtherance of the specific capital improvement for which such funds were received. Contributions, insured-loss reimbursements or other funds received as damages through settlement or judgement for damage, destruction or loss of capital improvement projects shall be expended for the repair of such projects; or if the projects have been or are being repaired before receipt of the funds, the funds may be used to repair other such capital improvement projects. Any funds not expended for a project within 36 months after the date received shall be paid into the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund.

Contributions or insured-loss reimbursements not expended in furtherance of the project for which they were received within 36 months of the date received, shall be returned to the contributing party. Proceeds from builders risk insurance shall be expended only for the amelioration of damage arising from the incident for which the proceeds were paid to the State or the Capital Development Contributory Trust Fund. Any residual amounts remaining after the completion of such repairs, renovation, reconstruction or other work necessary to restore the capital improvement project to acceptable condition shall be returned to the proper fund or entity financing or contributing towards the cost of the capital improvement project. Such returns shall be made in amounts proportionate to the contributions made in furtherance of the project.

Any monies received as a gift, donation or charitable contribution for a specific capital improvement which have not been expended in furtherance of that project shall be returned to the contributing party after completion of the project or if the legislature fails to authorize the capital improvement.

The unused portion of any federal funds received for a capital improvement project which are not contributed, upon its completion, towards the cost of the project, shall remain in the Capital Development Board Contributory Trust Fund and shall be used for capital projects and for no other purpose, subject to appropriation and as directed by the Capital Development Board be deposited in the Capital Development Bond Retirement and Interest Fund if moneys from the Capital Development Fund have been utilized for the project.
