"(110 ILCS 805/3-33.7 new)

Sec. 3-33.7. Establishment of lines of credit. The board may establish a line of credit with a bank or other financial institution in an amount not to exceed the following:

(1) if anticipating State revenues due in the current fiscal year, 85% of the amount or amounts of the revenues due in the current fiscal year, as certified by the President/CEO of the State Board or other official in a position to provide assurances as to the amounts; and

(2) if anticipating State revenues expected to be due in the next subsequent fiscal year, 50% of the amount or amounts of the revenues due in the current fiscal year, as certified by the President/CEO of the State Board or other official in a position to provide assurances as to the amounts.

All moneys so borrowed shall be repaid exclusively from the anticipated revenues within 60 days after the revenues have been received. Borrowing authorized under subdivisions (1) and (2) of this Section shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, from the date of issuance until paid.

Prior to establishing a line of credit under this Section, the board shall authorize, by resolution, the line of credit. The resolution shall set forth facts demonstrating the need for the line of credit, state the amount to be borrowed, establish a maximum interest rate limit not to exceed that set forth in this Section, and provide a date by which the borrowed funds must be repaid. The resolution shall direct the relevant officials to make arrangements to set apart and hold the revenue, as received, that will be used to repay the borrowing. In addition, the resolution may authorize the relevant officials to make partial repayments of the borrowing as the revenues become available and may contain any other terms, restrictions, or limitations not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section.".
