AN ACT concerning finance.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The General Obligation Bond Act is amended by changing Section 15 as follows:

(30 ILCS 330/15) (from Ch. 127, par. 665)

Sec. 15. Computation of Principal and Interest; transfers.

(a) Upon each delivery of Bonds authorized to be issued under this Act, the Comptroller shall compute and certify to the Treasurer the total amount of principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on Bonds issued that will be payable in order to retire such Bonds, the amount of principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on such Bonds that will be payable on each payment date according to the tenor of such Bonds during the then current and each succeeding fiscal year, and the amount of sinking fund payments needed to be deposited in connection with Qualified School Construction Bonds authorized by subsection (e) of Section 9. With respect to the interest payable on variable rate bonds, such certifications shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that may be payable during the fiscal year, after taking into account any credits permitted in the related indenture or other instrument against the amount of such interest required to be appropriated for such period pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 14 of this Act. With respect to the interest payable, such certifications shall include the amounts certified by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget under subsection (b) of Section 9 of this Act.

On or before the last day of each month the State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer from (1) the Road Fund with respect to Bonds issued under paragraph (a) of Section 4 of this Act or Bonds issued for the purpose of refunding such bonds, and from (2) the General Revenue Fund, with respect to all other Bonds issued under this Act, to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on Bonds payable, by their terms on the next payment date divided by the number of full calendar months between the date of such Bonds and the first such payment date, and thereafter, divided by the number of months between each succeeding payment date after the first. Such computations and transfers shall be made for each series of Bonds issued and delivered. Interest payable on variable rate bonds shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that may be payable for the relevant period, after taking into account any credits permitted in the related indenture or other instrument against the amount of such interest required to be appropriated for such period pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 14 of this Act. Computations of interest shall include the amounts certified by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget under subsection (b) of Section 9 of this Act. Interest for which moneys have already been deposited into the capitalized interest account within the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts to be transferred under this subsection. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section, the transfer provisions provided in this paragraph shall not apply to transfers made in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 with respect to Bonds issued in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Act. In the case of transfers made in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 with respect to the Bonds issued in fiscal year 2010 or fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of this Act, on or before the 15th day of the month prior to the required debt service payment, the State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the Bonds payable in that next month.

The transfer of monies herein and above directed is not required if monies in the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund are more than the amount otherwise to be transferred as herein above provided, and if the Governor or his authorized representative notifies the State Treasurer and Comptroller of such fact in writing.

(b) After the effective date of this Act, the balance of, and monies directed to be included in the Capital Development Bond Retirement and Interest Fund, Anti-Pollution Bond Retirement and Interest Fund, Transportation Bond, Series A Retirement and Interest Fund, Transportation Bond, Series B Retirement and Interest Fund, and Coal Development Bond Retirement and Interest Fund shall be transferred to and deposited in the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund. This Fund shall be used to make debt service payments on the State's general obligation Bonds heretofore issued which are now outstanding and payable from the Funds herein listed as well as on Bonds issued under this Act.

(c) The unused portion of federal funds received for or as reimbursement for a capital facilities project, as authorized by Section 3 of this Act, for which monies from the Capital Development Fund have been expended 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. Any federal funds received as reimbursement for the completed construction of a capital facilities project, as authorized by Section 3 of this Act, for which monies from the Capital Development Fund have been expended shall be deposited in the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund.
