6 "Section 3. The Illinois Municipal Budget Law is amended
7 by changing Section 3 as follows:
8 (50 ILCS 330/3) (from Ch. 85, par. 803)
9 Sec. 3. The governing body of each municipality of this
10 State, coming within the provisions of this Act, shall,
11 within or before the first quarter of each fiscal year, adopt
12 a combined annual budget and appropriation ordinance, by
13 which ordinance the governing body may appropriate such sum
14 or sums of money as may be deemed necessary to defray all
15 necessary expenses and liabilities of such municipality, and
16 in such annual budget and appropriation ordinance shall
17 specify the objects and purposes for which such
18 appropriations are made, and the amount appropriated for each
19 object or purpose. The municipality may pass a continuing
20 annual budget ordinance. The municipality may expend funds
21 during the first quarter of the fiscal year before the
-2- LRB9001280DNmbam05
1 municipality has adopted the combined annual budget and
2 appropriation ordinance.
3 The budget included in such ordinance shall contain a
4 statement of the cash on hand at the beginning of the fiscal
5 year, an estimate of the cash expected to be received during
6 such fiscal year from all sources, an estimate of the
7 expenditures contemplated for such fiscal year, and a
8 statement of the estimated cash expected to be on hand at the
9 end of such year. The estimate of taxes to be received may
10 be based upon the amount of actual cash receipts that may
11 reasonably be expected by the municipality during such fiscal
12 year, estimated from the experience of the municipality in
13 prior years and with due regard for other circumstances that
14 may substantially affect such receipts. Provided, however,
15 that nothing in this Act shall be construed as requiring any
16 municipality to change or preventing any municipality from
17 changing from a cash basis of financing to a surplus or
18 deficit basis of financing; or as requiring any municipality
19 to change or preventing any municipality from changing its
20 system of accounting.
21 The governing body of each municipality shall fix a
22 fiscal year therefor. If the beginning of the fiscal year of
23 a municipality is subsequent to the time that the tax levy
24 for such fiscal year shall be made, then such annual budget
25 and appropriation ordinance shall be adopted prior to the
26 time such tax levy shall be made.
27 Such budget and appropriation ordinance shall be prepared
28 in tentative form by some person or persons designated by the
29 governing body, and in such tentative form shall be made
30 conveniently available to public inspection for at least
31 thirty days prior to final action thereon. Provided, that in
32 townships such tentative ordinance for purposes other than
33 the road and bridge fund shall be prepared by the board of
34 town trustees. At least one public hearing shall be held as
-3- LRB9001280DNmbam05
1 to such budget and appropriation ordinance prior to final
2 action thereon, notice of which shall be given by publication
3 in an English language newspaper published in such
4 municipality, at least 30 days prior to the time of such
5 hearing. If there is no newspaper published in such
6 municipality, then notice of such public hearing shall be
7 given by publication in an English language newspaper
8 published in the county in which such municipality is located
9 and having general circulation within such municipality. If
10 there is no such newspaper published in the county, notice of
11 such public hearing shall be given by posting notices thereof
12 in five of the most public places in such municipality. Such
13 notice shall state the time and place where copies of the
14 tentative budget and appropriation ordinance are available
15 for public inspection and the time and place of the hearing.
16 It shall be the duty of the clerk, secretary, or other
17 similar officer, of such municipality to make such tentative
18 budget and appropriation ordinance available to public
19 inspection, and to arrange for such public hearing or
20 hearings. Except as otherwise provided by law, no further
21 appropriations shall be made at any other time within such
22 fiscal year, provided that the governing body of such
23 municipality may from time to time make transfers between the
24 various items in any fund in such appropriation ordinance not
25 exceeding in the aggregate ten per cent of the total amount
26 appropriated in such fund by such ordinance, may transfer
27 funds received by the taxing district as the result of an
28 erroneous distribution of property taxes by a county
29 treasurer back to that county treasurer without amending the
30 budget and appropriation ordinance, and may amend such budget
31 and appropriation ordinance from time to time by the same
32 procedure as is herein provided for the original adoption of
33 a budget and appropriation ordinance; provided that nothing
34 in this section shall be construed to permit transfers
