Public Act 093-0714

AN ACT concerning aging.

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

Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing Section 8h as follows:

(30 ILCS 105/8h)

Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding Notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary, the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget may from time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year. The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of 8% of the revenues to be deposited into the fund during that year or 25% of the beginning balance in the fund. No transfer may be made from a fund under this Section that would have the effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total appropriation from that fund for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use or to any funds in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund or the Hospital Provider Fund. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the total transfer under this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction Account Fund shall not exceed 5% of the revenues to be deposited into the fund during that year.

In determining the available balance in a fund, the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and other resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that fiscal year.

The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon as may be practicable after receiving the direction to transfer from the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget.

(b) This Section does not apply to any fund established under the Community Senior Services and Resources Act.

Section 10. The Community Senior Services and Resources Act is amended by adding Section 32 as follows:

(320 ILCS 60/32 new)

Sec. 32. Bequests and gifts; awareness campaign.

(a) The Director may accept monetary grants, gifts, and bequests for deposit into the Community Senior Services and Resources Fund.

(b) The Director may accept monetary grants, gifts, and bequests for the benefit of a specified center or distinct area of the State. Each such grant, gift, or bequest shall be kept in a distinct fund. The Department may make grants from these funds for the purposes established for the Community Senior Services and Resources Fund and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the grant, gift, or bequest. These funds are exempt from Section 8h of the State Finance Act.

(c) The Department, in conjunction with the Community Senior Services and Resource Center Advisory Committee, shall design an awareness campaign that can be implemented by senior services and resource centers at their individual expense.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law.
