(605 ILCS 10/24) (from Ch. 121, par. 100-24)
Sec. 24. Except as otherwise provided in any bond resolution, the
proceeds derived from the sale of bonds, and all receipts and income
derived from tolls, licenses, gifts, donations, concessions, fees,
rentals, and all other revenues from whatever source derived, shall,
within 3 three days after receipt thereof, be paid to the Treasurer of

Illinois State Toll Highway Authority Fund, except that the Authority
may retain portions of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority Fund
as a locally maintained construction fund revolving account and as a
revenue fund revolving account, where authorized by a bond resolution,
and as locally maintained change funds, where necessary for the
operations of the Authority. The State Treasurer shall be ex officio
custodian of such special fund, which fund shall be held, invested and
disbursed for the purposes provided herein upon the order of the
Authority and in accordance with provisions and covenants of any bond
resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds which have not been paid
or deemed paid. The interest accruing on said special fund shall be
computed and added to the principal thereof every six months. In
addition to the special audits prescribed by this Act, the said fund
shall also be subject to audit in the same manner as is now, or may
hereinafter be, provided for the audit of State funds and accounts. The
said special fund shall be protected by a corporate surety bond,
executed by the Treasurer, with a surety authorized to do business
under the laws of the State of Illinois. The amount of said bond shall
be fixed by resolution of the Authority, approved by the Governor, and
may be increased or diminished at any time. The premiums on said bond
shall be payable from the funds of the Authority. The bond shall be
subject to the approval of the Governor and Attorney General of the
State of Illinois, and, when so approved, shall be filed in the office
of the Secretary of State. This Act shall constitute an irrevocable and
continuing appropriation from the special fund for amounts to pay
principal, interest, and other bond expenses and obligations as
provided in this Act. All other expenses of the Authority, including
the ordinary and contingent expenses for the Authority's annual
operations, are subject to annual appropriation by the General Assembly
from the special fund (or from other funds as provided in Section 18)
for each fiscal year. Said special fund shall be considered always
appropriated for the purposes of disbursements, as provided in this
Act, and shall be paid out and disbursed only as provided herein, and
shall not, at any time be appropriated or diverted to any other use or
purpose. For all outstanding bonds issued by the Authority before the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, the
State guarantees the timely payment of any principal or interest that
is not paid by the Authority when due, with recourse to the Court of
Claims. The Authority shall, with respect to all revenue bonds
outstanding as of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd
General Assembly, maintain in a debt service fund an amount equal to
140% of the amount needed to pay annual debt service pursuant to the
bonds.

91-660; and
WHEREAS, Emergency service providers utilize and rely upon cellular

federal level; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND

telephone service available to emergency service providers in order to

GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that the U. S. Congress is
urged to pass legislation establishing a national energy policy which
encourages the use of ethanol as a alternate fuel, phases out the use
