| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. If and only if Senate Bill 1959 of the 94th | ||||
General Assembly becomes law, the State Budget Law of the Civil | ||||
Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by changing Section | ||||
50-5 as follows:
| ||||
(15 ILCS 20/50-5) (was 15 ILCS 20/38)
| ||||
Sec. 50-5. Governor to submit State budget. The Governor | ||||
shall, as soon as
possible and not later than the first
second
| ||||
Wednesday in March
April in 2007 (March 7, 2007)
2003 and the | ||||
third
Wednesday in February of each year beginning in 2008
| ||||
2004, except as otherwise provided in this Section, submit a
| ||||
State budget, embracing therein the amounts recommended by the | ||||
Governor to be
appropriated to the respective departments, | ||||
offices, and institutions, and
for all other public purposes, | ||||
the estimated revenues from taxation, the
estimated revenues | ||||
from sources other than taxation, and an estimate of the
amount | ||||
required to be raised by taxation. In 2004 only, the Governor | ||||
shall submit the capital development section of the State | ||||
budget not later than the fourth Tuesday of March (March 23, | ||||
2004). The amounts recommended by the
Governor for | ||||
appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
| ||||
institutions shall be formulated according to the various | ||||
functions and
activities for which the respective department, | ||||
office or institution of
the State government (including the | ||||
elective officers in the executive
department and including the | ||||
University of Illinois and the judicial
department) is | ||||
responsible. The amounts relating to particular functions
and | ||||
activities shall be further formulated in accordance with the | ||||
object
classification specified in Section 13 of the State | ||||
Finance Act.
| ||||
The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General | ||
Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the | ||
resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this | ||
Section.
| ||
For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
| ||
Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds | ||
shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure | ||
measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally | ||
accepted accounting principles for governments:
| ||
(1) General Revenue Fund.
| ||
(2) Common School Fund.
| ||
(3) Educational Assistance Fund.
| ||
(4) Road Fund.
| ||
(5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
| ||
(6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
| ||
These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The | ||
revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted | ||
funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
| ||
revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, | ||
plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the | ||
budgeted year that are expected to
be collected during the | ||
lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts | ||
collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that | ||
became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. | ||
Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements | ||
associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State | ||
Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which | ||
current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, | ||
the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for | ||
expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year.
| ||
Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in | ||
the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the | ||
State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal | ||
year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were | ||
carried over from the prior year, where the payment is | ||
authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any | ||
budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed | ||
revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be | ||
considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year.
| ||
Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers | ||
between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs | ||
incurred during the budget year.
| ||
By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government | ||
Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund | ||
transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
| ||
Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and | ||
the Governor.
| ||
For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed | ||
expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available | ||
for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a | ||
fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General | ||
Assembly to be available during that year.
