(30 ILCS 105/6z-66) Sec. 6z-66. SBE Federal Agency Services Fund. The SBE Federal Agency Services Fund is created as a federal trust fund in the State treasury. This fund is established to receive funds from all federal departments and agencies except the Departments of Education and Agriculture (including among others the Departments of Health and Human Services, Defense, and Labor and the Corporation for National and Community Service), including non-indirect cost administrative funds recovered from federal programs, for the specific purposes established by the terms and conditions of federal awards. Moneys in the SBE Federal Agency Services Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation by the General Assembly, for grants and contracts to local education agencies, colleges and universities, and other State agencies and for administrative expenses of the State Board of Education. However, non-appropriated spending is allowed for the refund of unexpended grant moneys to the federal government. The SBE Federal Agency Services Fund shall serve as the successor fund to the SBE Department of Health and Human Services Fund, the SBE Federal Department of Labor Federal Trust Fund, and the SBE Federal National Community Service Fund; and any balance remaining in the SBE Department of Health and Human Services Fund, the SBE Federal Department of Labor Federal Trust Fund, or the SBE Federal National Community Service Fund on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly must be transferred to the SBE Federal Agency Services Fund by the State Treasurer. Any future deposits that would otherwise be made into the SBE Department of Health and Human Services Fund, the SBE Federal Department of Labor Federal Trust Fund, or the SBE Federal National Community Service Fund must instead be made into the SBE Federal Agency Services Fund.
On or after July 1, 2007, the State Board of Education shall notify the State Comptroller of the amount of indirect federal funds in the SBE Federal Agency Services Fund to be transferred to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund. The State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer this amount to the State Board of Education Special Purpose Trust Fund as soon as practical thereafter.
