 5    Administrative  Code  of  Illinois  is  amended  by  changing
 6    Section 50-5 as follows:

 7        (15 ILCS 20/50-5) (was 15 ILCS 20/38)
 8        Sec. 50-5.  Governor to submit State budget. The Governor
 9    shall, as soon as possible  and  not  later  than  the  third
10    Wednesday  in February of each year beginning in 1998, submit
11    a State budget, embracing therein the amounts recommended  by
12    the   Governor   to   be   appropriated   to  the  respective
13    departments, offices, and institutions,  and  for  all  other
14    public  purposes,  the  estimated revenues from taxation, the
15    estimated revenues from sources other than taxation,  and  an
16    estimate  of  the  amount  required to be raised by taxation.
17    The amounts recommended by the Governor for appropriation  to
18    the respective departments, offices and institutions shall be
19    formulated  according to the various functions and activities
20    for which the respective department, office or institution of
21    the State government (including the elective officers in  the
22    executive department and including the University of Illinois
23    and  the  judicial  department)  is  responsible. The amounts
24    relating to particular  functions  and  activities  shall  be
25    further    formulated   in   accordance   with   the   object
26    classification specified in Section 13 of the  State  Finance
27    Act.   State  budgets  submitted  for  fiscal  years 2007 and
28    thereafter must be prepared using  the  performance  measures
29    developed under Section 6.5 of the Bureau of the Budget Act.
30        The  Governor  shall  not  propose  expenditures  and the
31    General Assembly shall not enact appropriations  that  exceed
 
HB3313 Engrossed            -2-      LRB093 07683 JLS 07865 b
 1    the  resources estimated to be available, as provided in this
 2    Section.
 3        For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of  the  1970
 4    Illinois  Constitution,  the  State  budget for the following
 5    funds  shall  be  prepared  on  the  basis  of  revenue   and
 6    expenditure  measurement  concepts  that  are in concert with
 7    generally accepted accounting principles for governments:
 8             (1)  General Revenue Fund.
 9             (2)  Common School Fund.
10             (3)  Educational Assistance Fund.
11             (4)  Road Fund.
12             (5)  Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
13             (6)  Agricultural Premium Fund.
14        These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds".   The
15    revenue  estimates  used in the State budget for the budgeted
16    funds shall include the  estimated  beginning  fund  balance,
17    plus  revenues  estimated  to be received during the budgeted
18    year, plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30
19    of the budgeted year that are expected to be collected during
20    the lapse period  following  the  budgeted  year,  minus  the
21    receipts  collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted
22    year that became due to the State  in  the  year  before  the
23    budgeted year.  Revenues shall also include estimated federal
24    reimbursements  associated with the recognition of Section 25
25    of the State Finance Act liabilities.  For any budgeted  fund
26    for  which  current  year  revenues are anticipated to exceed
27    expenditures,  the  surplus  shall  be  considered  to  be  a
28    resource available for expenditure  in  the  budgeted  fiscal
29    year.
30        Expenditure  estimates for the budgeted funds included in
31    the State budget shall include the costs to  be  incurred  by
32    the  State  for  the  budgeted  year,  to be paid in the next
33    fiscal year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year  which
34    were  carried  over from the prior year, where the payment is
 
HB3313 Engrossed            -3-      LRB093 07683 JLS 07865 b
 1    authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act.   For  any
 2    budgeted  fund  for which expenditures are expected to exceed
 3    revenues in the current fiscal year,  the  deficit  shall  be
 4    considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
 5        Revenues  and  expenditures  shall also include transfers
 6    between funds that are based on revenues  received  or  costs
 7    incurred during the budget year.
 8        By  March  15  of  each  year,  the  Economic  and Fiscal
 9    Commission shall prepare revenue and fund transfer  estimates
10    in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  this Section and
11    report those  estimates  to  the  General  Assembly  and  the
12    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
16    for a fiscal year shall not exceed  funds  estimated  by  the
17    General Assembly to be available during that year.

19        Section  10.  The  Bureau of the Budget Act is amended by
20    adding Section 6.5 as follows:

21        (20 ILCS 3005/6.5 new)
22        Sec.  6.5.  Development   of   program   objectives   and
23    performance measures for State programs and agencies.
24        (a)  The   General   Assembly   finds   that  the  public
25    accountability of State agency programs will be enhanced by:
26             (1)  making State government more result-oriented;
27             (2)  increasing public awareness of the efficacy  of
28        State government programs;
29             (3)  facilitating  informed  decision-making  on the
30        allocation of State resources; and
31             (4)  increasing  public  access  to  information  on
32        State government programs.
 
HB3313 Engrossed            -4-      LRB093 07683 JLS 07865 b
 1        (b)  The Bureau, in cooperation with the Comptroller  and
 2    State   agencies,   shall   develop  program  objectives  and
 3    performance measures for State programs.  In  developing  the
 4    program  objectives and performance measures, the Bureau must
 5    incorporate the data developed  under  subsection  (c).   The
 6    program objectives shall be developed by October 1, 2004. The
 7    Governor may appoint an advisory commission to participate in
 8    developing  program  goals  and  objectives.   Members of the
 9    commission shall  serve  without  compensation,  but  may  be
10    reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in carrying
11    out their duties.
12        Performance  measures  to  measure  progress in achieving
13    program goals and objectives shall be developed by October 1,
14    2005. The performance measures must be used in preparing  and
15    presenting   State   budgets   for   fiscal  years  2007  and
16    thereafter.  The performance  measures  shall  be  integrated
17    with the budget so that expenditures and other program inputs
18    can   be   associated  with  program  goals  and  performance
19    measures.
20        (c)  The Bureau shall continue the performance management
21    practices being conducted by the Office of  the  Governor  on
22    and  before  February  28, 2002. These practices include, but
23    are not limited to:
24             (1)  the development of mission  statements,  goals,
25        and objectives for State agencies and programs;
26             (2)  the    evaluation    of    the    results   and
27        accomplishments of State agencies and programs; and
28             (3)  the   development   of   outcome    indicators,
29        cost-effectiveness  indicators,  and  external benchmarks
30        for State agencies and programs.
31        The Bureau shall provide the information  developed  from
32    these performance management practices to the Comptroller and
33    cooperate   with   the   Comptroller  in  the  reporting  and
34    publishing  the  data  developed  through  these  performance
 
HB3313 Engrossed            -5-      LRB093 07683 JLS 07865 b
 1    management practices. The application  of  these  performance
 2    management  practices  shall  be  extended annually until the
 3    budget and performance of all State agencies and programs are
 4    evaluated in accordance  with  these  performance  management
 5    practices.
 6        (d)  As  much  as  possible,  the  Bureau  shall  rely on
 7    existing reporting forms utilized by direct service providers
 8    in collecting data on community based programs and  services,
 9    rather  than creating a new overlay of reports to be required
10    of State agencies and providers.

11        Section 15. The  State  Comptroller  Act  is  amended  by
12    adding Section 6.05 as follows:

13        (15 ILCS 405/6.05 new)
14        Sec.   6.05.   Publication   of   performance  management
15    practices data.  The Comptroller shall, in  cooperation  with
16    the  Bureau  of  the  Budget,  compile  and  publish the data
17    developed under subsection (b) of Section 6.5 of  the  Bureau
18    of the Budget Act.

19        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
20    becoming law.
