1     (720 ILCS 5/33-3)  (from Ch. 38, par. 33-3)
2     Sec. 33-3. Official Misconduct.) A public officer or
3 employee or special government agent commits misconduct when,
4 in his official capacity or capacity as a special government
5 agent, he commits any of the following acts:
6         (a) Intentionally or recklessly fails to perform any
7     mandatory duty as required by law; or
8         (b) Knowingly performs an act which he knows he is
9     forbidden by law to perform; or
10         (c) With intent to obtain a personal advantage for
11     himself or another, he performs an act in excess of his
12     lawful authority; or
13         (d) Solicits or knowingly accepts for the performance
14     of any act a fee or reward which he knows is not authorized
15     by law; or .
16         (e) Intentionally or recklessly as Governor introduces
17     a budget in the General Assembly or makes any proposal
18     which represents gubernatorial financial irresponsibility.
19     For the purposes of this paragraph (e), "gubernatorial
20     financial irresponsibility" means a budget or separate
21     proposal made by the Governor, or implementation by an
22     agency under the Governor without specific legislative
23     approval of any proposal, which (i) expands or creates
24     State government programs or services without an
25     identified revenue source sufficient to fully fund the
26     costs of such expanded or new programs or services; (ii)

 

 

09500SB2142sam001 - 4 - LRB095 19158 LCT 49404 a

1     materially increases costs to the State beyond the next
2     fiscal year (including but not limited to pension and bond
3     debt payments), without an identified revenue source
4     sufficient to fully fund the long-term costs; or (iii)
5     includes a funding or financing plan which would not meet
6     generally accepted prudent business or financing practices
7     in the private sector. The identified and previously
8     enacted revenue source shall not exceed the revenue
9     estimated for such source by the Governor's Office of
10     Management and Budget, with detailed estimates provided as
11     an addendum to any budget or proposal proposed by the
12     Governor; or
13         (f) Intentionally or recklessly as a legislator votes
14     to approve legislation which represents legislative
15     financial irresponsibility. For the purposes of this
16     paragraph (f), "legislative financial irresponsibility"
17     means an appropriation bill or substantive legislation
18     which (i) expands or creates State government programs or
19     services without an identified and previously enacted
20     revenue source sufficient to fully fund the cost of such
21     expanded or new programs or services; (ii) materially
22     increases costs to the State beyond the next fiscal year
23     (including but not limited to pension and bond debt
24     payments), without an identified and previously enacted
25     revenue source sufficient to fully fund the long-term
26     costs; or (iii) includes a funding or financing plan which

 

 

09500SB2142sam001 - 5 - LRB095 19158 LCT 49404 a

1     would not meet generally accepted prudent business or
2     financing practices in the private sector. The identified
3     and previously enacted revenue source shall not exceed the
4     revenue estimated for such source by the Commission on
5     Government Forecasting and Accountability, in the amount
6     required in the Commission's judgment to fully fund the
7     legislation and all other such legislation previously
8     enacted.

10 convicted of violating any provision of this Section forfeits
11 his office or employment or position as a special government
12 agent. In addition, he commits a Class 3 felony. In addition,
13 any elected State official who is convicted of violating
14 paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section and who is entitled to a
15 State-funded pension shall be liable for damages, payable to
16 the State, which shall equal the sum of the present value of
17 all State pension payments payable to him or her after his or
18 her forfeiture of office, as calculated by the actuaries for
19 any State pension system for which the official is entitled to
20 a pension. In addition, any elected State official who is
21 convicted of violating paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section
22 shall be liable for damages, payable to the State, for the
