(30 ILCS 105/5h.5) Sec. 5h.5. Cash flow borrowing and general funds liquidity; Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. (a) In order to meet cash flow deficits and to maintain liquidity in general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, on and after July 1, 2017 and through June 30, 2022, the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller, in consultation with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, shall make transfers to general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, as directed by the State Comptroller, out of special funds of the State, to the extent allowed by federal law. No such transfer may reduce the cumulative balance of all of the special funds of the State to an amount less than the total debt service payable during the 12 months immediately following the date of the transfer on any bonded indebtedness of the State and any certificates issued under the Short Term Borrowing Act. At no time shall the outstanding total transfers made from the special funds of the State to general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund under this Section exceed $1,500,000,000; once the amount of $1,500,000,000 has been transferred from the special funds of the State to general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund, additional transfers may be made from the special funds of the State to general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund under this Section only to the extent that moneys have first been re-transferred from general funds and the Health Insurance Reserve Fund to those special funds of the State.

When any of the funds from which moneys have been transferred pursuant to subsection (a) have insufficient cash from which the State Comptroller may make expenditures properly supported by appropriations from the fund, then the State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from general funds to the fund only such amount as is immediately necessary to satisfy outstanding expenditure obligations on a timely basis. (c) On the first day of each quarterly period in each fiscal year, until such time as a report indicates that all moneys borrowed and interest pursuant to this Section have been repaid, the Comptroller shall provide to the President and the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability a report on all transfers made pursuant to this Section in the prior quarterly period. The report must be provided in electronic format.
