Governor for appropriation to the | 20 | | respective departments, offices and
institutions shall be | 21 | | formulated according to the various functions and
activities | 22 | | for which the respective department, office or institution of

and activities shall be | 4 | | further formulated in accordance with the object
| 5 | | classification specified in Section 13 of the State Finance | 6 | | Act. In addition, the amounts recommended by the Governor for | 7 | | appropriation shall take into account each State agency's | 8 | | effectiveness in achieving its prioritized goals for the | 9 | | previous fiscal year, as set forth in Section 50-25 of this | 10 | | Law, giving priority to agencies and programs that have | 11 | | demonstrated a focus on the prevention of waste and the maximum | 12 | | yield from resources. | 13 | | Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Governor shall | 14 | | distribute written quarterly budget statements to the General | 15 | | Assembly and the State Comptroller. The statements shall be | 16 | | submitted on Wednesday of the last week of the last month of | 17 | | each quarter of the fiscal year and, as is currently the | 18 | | practice on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | 19 | | 96th General Assembly, shall be posted on the Comptroller's | 20 | | website on the same day. The statements shall be prepared and | 21 | | presented in an executive summary format that includes, for the | 22 | | fiscal year to date, individual itemizations for each revenue | 23 | | source as well as individual itemizations of expenditures and | 24 | | obligations, by the classified line items set forth in Section | 25 | | 13 of the State Finance Act and for other purposes, with an | 26 | | appropriate level of detail. The statement shall include a |
| | | HB0071 | - 3 - | LRB097 03103 RLJ 43137 b |
|
| 1 | | calculation of the actual total budget surplus or deficit. The | 2 | | Governor shall also present periodic budget addresses | 3 | | throughout the fiscal year at the invitation of the General | 4 | | Assembly. | 5 | | The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General | 6 | | Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the | 7 | | resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this | 8 | | Section. Appropriations may be adjusted during the fiscal year | 9 | | by means of one or more supplemental appropriation bills if any | 10 | | State agency either fails to meet or exceeds the goals set | 11 | | forth in Section 50-25 of this Law. | 12 | | For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
| 13 | | Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds | 14 | | shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure | 15 | | measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally | 16 | | accepted accounting principles for governments: | 17 | | (1) General Revenue Fund. | 18 | | (2) Common School Fund. | 19 | | (3) Educational Assistance Fund. | 20 | | (4) Road Fund. | 21 | | (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund. | 22 | | (6) Agricultural Premium Fund. | 23 | | These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The | 24 | | revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted | 25 | | funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
| 26 | | revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, |
| | | HB0071 | - 4 - | LRB097 03103 RLJ 43137 b |
|
| 1 | | plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the | 2 | | budgeted year that are expected to
be collected during the | 3 | | lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts | 4 | | collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that | 5 | | became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. | 6 | | Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements | 7 | | associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State | 8 | | Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which | 9 | | current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, | 10 | | the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for | 11 | | expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year. | 12 | | Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in | 13 | | the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the | 14 | | State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal | 15 | | year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were | 16 | | carried over from the prior year, where the payment is | 17 | | authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any | 18 | | budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed | 19 | | revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be | 20 | | considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year. | 21 | | Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers | 22 | | between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs | 23 | | incurred during the budget year. | 24 | | Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all | 25 | | anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations | 26 | | that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal |
| | | HB0071 | - 5 - | LRB097 03103 RLJ 43137 b |

| 1 | | year. | 2 | | By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government | 3 | | Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund | 4 | | transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
| 5 | | Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and | 6 | | the Governor. | 7 | | For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed | 8 | | expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available | 9 | | for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a | 10 | | fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General | 11 | | Assembly to be available during that year. | 12 | | (b) This subsection applies only to the process for the | 13 | | proposed fiscal year 2011 budget. | 14 | | By February 24, 2010, the Governor must file a written | 15 | | report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the | 16 | | House of Representatives containing the following: | 17 | | (1) for fiscal year 2010, the revenues for all budgeted | 18 | | funds, both actual to date and estimated for the full | 19 | | fiscal year; | 20 | | (2) for fiscal year 2010, the expenditures for all | 21 | | budgeted funds, both actual to date and estimated for the | 22 | | full fiscal year; | 23 | | (3) for fiscal year 2011, the estimated revenues for | 24 | | all budgeted funds, including without limitation the | 25 | | affordable General Revenue Fund appropriations, for the | 26 | | full fiscal year; and |
