Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Act. Makes a change to a reference to the Illinois Pension Code with respect to subjecting the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to the same investment requirements as are imposed upon the board of trustees of a retirement system. Provides for an irrevocable and continuing appropriation (and the irrevocable and continuing authority for and direction to the State Comptroller and the State Treasurer to make the necessary transfers out of and disbursements from the revenues and funds of the State) if for any reason the General Assembly fails to make appropriations of amounts sufficient for the State to pay contractual obligations, and provides that the full faith and credit of the State of Illinois is pledged for the punctual payment of such obligations.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides for an irrevocable and continuing appropriation from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission if moneys in the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund are insufficient to cover contractual obligations (rather than if for any reason the General Assembly fails to make appropriations of amounts sufficient for the State to pay contractual obligations). Removes the irrevocable and continuing authority of the Comptroller and Treasurer to make the necessary transfers and disbursements.
