FISCAL NOTE ACT MAY APPLY

A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning State government.

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

Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the State Operations Continuity Act.

Section 5. Fiscal year appropriations based on prior fiscal year appropriations. If appropriations have not been made by law before July 1 of a State fiscal year, then the items that were appropriated for the previous State fiscal year, including supplemental appropriations, are hereby appropriated for the State fiscal year beginning on that July 1, to the same agencies, from the same sources, for the same purposes, and subject to the same conditions, as those amounts ultimately became law, including any item reductions and restorations, item vetoes and overrides, and amendments to those appropriations.

Section 10. Fiscal year reappropriations based on prior fiscal year reappropriations. If reappropriations have not been made by law before July 1 of a State fiscal year, then the items that were reappropriated for the previous State fiscal year are again reappropriated for State fiscal year beginning on that July 1, to the same agencies, from the same sources, and for the same purposes, but the amounts reappropriated shall be based on the amounts remaining unexpended at the close of business on June 30 preceding that July 1, rather than June 30 of the previous calendar year.

Section 15. Later Public Act making appropriations and reappropriations. If appropriations and reappropriations for a State fiscal year are made pursuant to this Act and a later Public Act makes appropriations and reappropriations for the same State fiscal year, then, unless that later Public Act specifically states otherwise, (i) the items of appropriation and reappropriation under that later Public Act supersede the corresponding items of appropriation and reappropriation made pursuant to this Act, (ii) expenditures and obligations made under the authority of this Act are deemed to have been expended and obligated under the authority of the corresponding item of the later Public Act, (iii) amounts of expenditure made under the authority of this Act are to be subtracted from the corresponding item of appropriation or reappropriation in the later Public Act in determining the amounts available for expenditure under that later Public Act, and (iv) to the extent that expenditures approved by the Comptroller pursuant to appropriations and reappropriations under this Act prior to the effective date of that later Public Act exceed the new appropriation or reappropriation, the new appropriation or reappropriation is increased as a matter of law to the amount of those approved expenditures.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect June 1, 2008.
