15 taxation, and an estimate of the amount required to be raised
16 by taxation. The amounts recommended by the Governor for
17 appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
18 institutions shall be formulated according to the various
19 functions and activities for which the respective department,
20 office or institution of the State government (including the
21 elective officers in the executive department and including
22 the University of Illinois and the judicial department) is
23 responsible. The amounts relating to particular functions and
24 activities shall be further formulated in accordance with the
25 object classification specified in Section 13 of the State
26 Finance Act.
27 The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the
28 General Assembly shall not enact appropriations that exceed
29 the resources estimated to be available, as provided in this
30 Section.
31 For the budget proposal submitted in February 1999 and
-2- LRB9010860KDcdA
1 for each budget proposal submitted thereafter, the aggregate
2 amount of the Governor's proposed expenditures and the
3 aggregate amount actually appropriated by the General
4 Assembly shall not exceed an aggregate amount that is (i) an
5 increase of no more than 5% of the aggregate amount actually
6 expended in the previously ended fiscal year or (ii) the
7 increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
8 for all items published by the United States Department of
9 Labor over the previous 2 calendar years, whichever is less.
10 For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
11 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following
12 funds shall be prepared on the basis of revenue and
13 expenditure measurement concepts that are in concert with
14 generally accepted accounting principles for governments:
15 (1) General Revenue Fund
16 (2) Common School Fund
17 (3) Educational Assistance Fund
18 (4) Road Fund
19 (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund
20 (6) Agricultural Premium Fund
21 These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The
22 revenue estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted
23 funds shall include the estimated beginning fund balance,
24 plus revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted
25 year, plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30
26 of the budgeted year that are expected to be collected during
27 the lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
28 receipts collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted
29 year that became due to the State in the year before the
30 budgeted year. Revenues shall also include estimated federal
31 reimbursements associated with the recognition of Section 25
32 of the State Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
33 for which current year revenues are anticipated to exceed
34 expenditures, the surplus shall be considered to be a
-3- LRB9010860KDcdA
1 resource available for expenditure in the budgeted fiscal
2 year.
3 Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
4 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by
5 the State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next
6 fiscal year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year which
7 were carried over from the prior year, where the payment is
8 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
9 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
10 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
11 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
12 Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
13 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
14 incurred during the budget year.
15 By March 15 of each year, the Economic and Fiscal
16 Commission shall prepare revenue and fund transfer estimates
17 in accordance with the requirements of this Section and
18 report those estimates to the General Assembly and the
19 Governor.
20 For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
21 expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
22 for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation
23 for a fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the
24 General Assembly to be available during that year.
