$HB6355 99TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

AN ACT concerning appropriations.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

ARTICLE 0.2

Section 1. Purpose. This Act makes appropriations and reappropriations for State fiscal year 2017. Article 3 contains reappropriations of certain appropriations and reappropriations from State fiscal year 2015 as provided in Public Act 98-0679, as may have been reappropriated for State fiscal year 2016 by a Public Act of the 99th General Assembly. To the extent that such a Public Act has not been enacted, Article 4 contains appropriations of identical amounts and purposes to those in Article 3 but as new appropriations rather than as reappropriations. Section 99 of Article 99 sets forth an effective date that causes Articles 3 to become effective if, and only if, an applicable Public Act of the 99th General Assembly should be enacted; should such not be enacted, the Section causes Article 4 to become effective.
