Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 6z-75. The Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund.

(a) Creation.  The Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury.  The State Treasurer shall be the custodian of the Fund.  Amounts in the Fund, both principal and interest not appropriated, shall be invested as provided by law.

(b) Funding and investment.
(1) The Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund may accept,

receive, and administer any grants, loans, or other funds made available to it by any source.  Any such funds received by the Fund shall not be considered income, but shall be added to the principal of the Fund.

(2) The investments of the Fund shall be managed by

the Illinois State Board of Investment, for the purpose of obtaining a total return on investments for the long term, as provided for under Article 22A of the Illinois Pension Code.

(c)  Investment proceeds.  Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, the  General Assembly may annually appropriate from the Illinois Power Agency Operations Fund an amount calculated not to exceed 90% of the prior fiscal year's annual investment income earned by the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund to the Illinois Power Agency.  Any investment income not appropriated by the General Assembly in a given fiscal year shall be added to the principal of the Fund, and thereafter considered a part thereof and not subject to appropriation as income earned by the Fund.

(d) Expenditures.
(1) During Fiscal Year 2008 and Fiscal Year 2009, the

General Assembly shall not appropriate any of the investment income earned by the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund to the Illinois Power Agency.

(2) During Fiscal Year 2010 and Fiscal Year 2011, the

General Assembly shall appropriate a portion of the investment income earned by the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund to repay to the General Revenue Fund of the State of Illinois those amounts, if any, appropriated from the General Revenue Fund for the operation of the Illinois Power Agency during Fiscal Year 2008 and Fiscal Year 2009, so that at the end of Fiscal Year 2011, the entire amount, if any, appropriated from the General Revenue Fund for the operation of the Illinois Power Agency during Fiscal Year 2008 and Fiscal Year 2009 will be repaid in full to the General Revenue Fund.

(3) In Fiscal Year 2012 and thereafter, the General

Assembly shall consider the need to balance its appropriations from the investment income earned by the Fund with the need to provide for the growth of the principal of the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund in order to ensure that the Fund is able to produce sufficient investment income to fund the operations of the Illinois Power Agency in future years.

(4) If the Illinois Power Agency shall cease

operations, then, unless otherwise provided for by law or appropriation, the principal and any investment income earned by the Fund shall be transferred into the Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund.

(e)  Implementation.  The provisions of this Section  shall not be operative  until the Illinois Power Agency Trust Fund has accumulated a principal balance of $25,000,000.
