12other custodians of public funds for public agencies in this
13State.
14    The Treasurer, in administering the Public Treasurers'
15Investment Pool, may receive public funds paid into the pool by

1agent of that custodian of public funds for the purpose of
2holding and investing those funds.
3    The Treasurer may invest the public funds constituting the
4Public Treasurers' Investment Pool in the same manner, in the
5same types of investments and subject to the same limitations
6provided for the investment of funds in the State Treasury. The
7Treasurer shall develop, publish, and implement an investment
8policy covering the management of funds in the Public
9Treasurers' Investment Pool. The policy shall be published each
10year as part of the audit of the Public Treasurers' Investment
11Pool by the Auditor General, which shall be distributed to all
12participants. The Treasurer shall notify all Public
13Treasurers' Investment Pool participants in writing, and the
14Treasurer shall publish in at least one newspaper of general
15circulation in both Springfield and Chicago any changes to a
16previously published investment policy at least 30 calendar

1for the administration expenses of the Pool to be paid from its
2earnings and for the interest earnings in excess of such
3expenses to be credited or paid monthly to the several
4custodians of public funds participating in the Pool in a
5manner which equitably reflects the differing amounts of their
6respective investments in the Pool and the differing periods of
7time for which such amounts were in the custody of the Pool.
8    Upon creating a Public Treasurers' Investment Pool the
9State Treasurer shall give bond with 2 or more sufficient
10sureties, payable to custodians of public funds who participate

21    After the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th
22General Assembly, participation in the Public Treasurers'
23Investment Pool shall not be a prerequisite for participation
24in the Treasurer's E-Pay program.
