| Public Act 097-0506 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning public aid.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Cash | ||||
Management and Medicaid Maximization Act of 2011. | ||||
Section 5. Interfund transfers. | ||||
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of State law to the | ||||
contrary, on the effective date of this Act,
or as soon | ||||
thereafter as practical, for the purpose of accessing enhanced | ||||
federal Medicaid matching
funds that expire on June 30, 2011, | ||||
on or after June 20, 2011 and no later than June 25, 2011 the | ||||
Governor, the State
Comptroller, and the State Treasurer shall | ||||
transfer amounts into the Healthcare Provider
Relief Fund from | ||||
special funds of the State, excluding the Road Fund and the | ||||
State Construction Account Fund, not to exceed $900,000,000. | ||||
(b) No transfer may be made from a special fund under this | ||||
Section that would have the effect of reducing the available | ||||
balance in the fund to an amount less than the amount remaining | ||||
unexpended and unreserved from the total appropriation from | ||||
that fund estimated to be expended for the months of July and | ||||
August 2011. Notwithstanding any other provision of this | ||||
Section, no such transfer may be made from any special fund | ||||
that is exclusively collected by or appropriated to any other | ||||
constitutional officer without the written approval of that | ||
constitutional officer. Any moneys transferred pursuant to | ||
this Act shall be repaid from the General Revenue Fund to the | ||
fund of origin by July 31, 2011. | ||
(c) On and after the effective date of this Act through | ||
July 30, 2011, if
any special fund utilized for the purpose of | ||
this Act has
insufficient cash from which the State Comptroller | ||
may make expenditures properly supported by
appropriations | ||
from the fund, then the Governor, the State Treasurer, and the | ||
State Comptroller shall transfer from the
General Revenue Fund | ||
to the fund only such amount as is immediately necessary to | ||
satisfy outstanding
expenditure obligations on a timely basis, | ||
subject to the provisions of the State Prompt Payment Act. All
| ||
or a portion of the amounts transferred from the General | ||
Revenue Fund to a fund pursuant to this
subsection (c) from | ||
time to time may be re-transferred by the Governor, the State | ||
Comptroller, and the State Treasurer
from the receiving fund | ||
into the General Revenue Fund as soon as and to the extent that | ||
deposits are
made into or receipts are collected by the | ||
receiving fund. | ||
(d) By no later than July 30, 2011, any amounts transferred | ||
under the authority of this Section shall be
transferred back | ||
and receipted by the General Revenue Fund. These transfers back | ||
to the funds of origin
shall be made and receipted | ||
notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary. | ||
Section 10. Interest payable to special funds. As soon as | ||
practical, after all amounts initially transferred under the | ||
authority of this Act from special funds of the State have been | ||
transferred back
pursuant to Section 5 of this Act, the State | ||
Treasurer shall calculate the amounts of interest that would
| ||
have accrued to those special funds if those transfers had not | ||
occurred and transfer those amounts from the General Revenue | ||
Fund to
those special funds. | ||
Section 15. Prohibition on payments to contractors. No | ||
fees or expenses shall be paid by the State to
any contractual | ||
legal counsel, financial advisor, or other consultant or | ||
contractor in relation to the
actions authorized pursuant to | ||
this Act.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
