    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The State Budget Law of the Civil
Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by changing Section
50-25 as follows:
 
    (15 ILCS 20/50-25)
    Sec. 50-25. Statewide prioritized goals. For fiscal year
2012 and each fiscal year thereafter, prior to the submission
of the State budget, the Governor, in consultation with the
appropriation committees of the General Assembly and,
beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the
commission established under this Section, shall: (i)
prioritize outcomes that are most important for each State
agency of the executive branch under the jurisdiction of the
Governor to achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals
to accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the
outcome. There must be a reasonable number of annually defined
statewide goals defining State priorities for the budget. Each
goal shall be further defined to facilitate success in
achieving that goal. No later than July 31 of each fiscal year
beginning in fiscal year 2012, the Governor shall establish a
commission for the purpose of advising the Governor in setting
those outcomes and goals, including the timeline for achieving
those outcomes and goals. The commission shall be a
well-balanced group and shall be a manageable size. The
commission shall hold at least 2 in-person public meetings
during each fiscal year. One meeting shall be held in the City
of Chicago and one meeting shall be held in the City of
Springfield. The commission may choose by a majority vote of
its members to hold one virtual meeting, which is open to the
public and over the Internet, in lieu of the 2 in-person public
meetings required under this Section. By November 1 of each
year, the commission shall submit a report to the Governor and
the General Assembly setting forth recommendations with
respect to the Governor's proposed outcomes and goals. The
report shall be published on the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget's website. In its report, the commission
shall propose a percentage of the total budget to be assigned
to each proposed outcome and goal. The commission shall also
review existing mandated expenditures and include in its
report recommendations for the termination of mandated
expenditures. The General Assembly may object to the
commission's report by passing a joint resolution detailing
the General Assembly's objections.
    In addition, each other constitutional officer of the
executive branch, in consultation with the appropriation
committees of the General Assembly, shall: (i) prioritize
outcomes that are most important for his or her office to
achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals to
accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the
outcome. The Governor and each constitutional officer shall
separately conduct performance analyses to determine which
programs, strategies, and activities will best achieve those
desired outcomes. The Governor shall recommend that
appropriations be made to State agencies and officers for the
next fiscal year based on the agreed upon goals and
priorities. Each agency and officer may develop its own
strategies for meeting those goals and shall review and
analyze those strategies on a regular basis. The Governor
shall also implement procedures to measure annual progress
toward the State's highest priority outcomes and shall develop
a statewide reporting system that compares the actual results
with budgeted results. Those performance measures and results
shall be posted on the State Comptroller's website, and
compiled for distribution in the Comptroller's Public
Accountability Report, as is currently the practice on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly.
