Governor for appropriation to the | ||||||
4 | respective departments, offices and
institutions shall be | ||||||
5 | formulated according to the various functions and
activities | ||||||
6 | for which the respective department, office or institution of
| ||||||
7 | the State government (including the elective officers in the | ||||||
8 | executive
department and including the University of Illinois | ||||||
9 | and the judicial

10 | relating to particular functions
and activities shall be | ||||||
11 | further formulated in accordance with the object
| ||||||
12 | classification specified in Section 13 of the State Finance | ||||||
13 | Act. | ||||||
14 | The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General | ||||||
15 | Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the | ||||||
16 | resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this | ||||||
17 | Section. | ||||||
18 | For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
| ||||||
19 | Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds | ||||||
20 | shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure | ||||||
21 | measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally | ||||||
22 | accepted accounting principles for governments: | ||||||
23 | (1) General Revenue Fund. | ||||||
24 | (2) Common School Fund. | ||||||
25 | (3) Educational Assistance Fund. | ||||||
26 | (4) Road Fund. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund. | ||||||
2 | (6) Agricultural Premium Fund. | ||||||
3 | These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The | ||||||
4 | revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted | ||||||
5 | funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
| ||||||
6 | revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, | ||||||
7 | plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the | ||||||

be collected during the | ||||||
9 | lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts | ||||||
10 | collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that | ||||||
11 | became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. | ||||||
12 | Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements | ||||||
13 | associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State | ||||||
14 | Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which | ||||||
15 | current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, | ||||||
16 | the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for | ||||||
17 | expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year. | ||||||
18 | Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in | ||||||
19 | the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the | ||||||
20 | State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal | ||||||
21 | year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were | ||||||
22 | carried over from the prior year, where the payment is | ||||||
23 | authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any | ||||||
24 | budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed | ||||||
25 | revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be | ||||||
26 | considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers | ||||||
2 | between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs | ||||||
3 | incurred during the budget year. | ||||||
4 | Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all | ||||||
5 | anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations | ||||||
6 | that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal | ||||||
7 | year. | ||||||
8 | By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government | ||||||
9 | Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund | ||||||
10 | transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
| ||||||
11 | Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and | ||||||
12 | the Governor. | ||||||
13 | For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed | ||||||
14 | expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available | ||||||
15 | for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a | ||||||
16 | fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General | ||||||
17 | Assembly to be available during that year. | ||||||
18 | (b) This subsection applies only to the process for the | ||||||
19 | proposed fiscal year 2011 budget. | ||||||

21 | report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the | ||||||
22 | House of Representatives containing the following: | ||||||
23 | (1) for fiscal year 2010, the revenues for all budgeted | ||||||
24 | funds, both actual to date and estimated for the full | ||||||

7 | (4) for fiscal year 2011, an estimate of the | ||||||
8 | anticipated liabilities for all budgeted funds, including | ||||||

14 | of the General Assembly may make written budget recommendations | ||||||
15 | to the Governor, and the Governor shall promptly make those | ||||||
