Wednesday in February in 2011, the fourth | 12 | | Wednesday in February in 2012 (February 22, 2012), the first | 13 | | Wednesday in March in 2013 (March 6, 2013), the fourth | 14 | | Wednesday in March in 2014 (March 26, 2014), and the third | 15 | | Wednesday in February of each year thereafter, except as | 16 | | otherwise provided in this Section, submit a

| 18 | | appropriated to the respective departments, offices, and | 19 | | institutions, and
for all other public purposes, the estimated | 20 | | revenues from taxation, and the

| | | HB0045 | - 2 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | estimates shall be based solely on: (i) revenue sources | 2 | | (including non-income resources), rates, and levels that exist | 3 | | as of the date of the submission of the State budget for the | 4 | | fiscal year and (ii) revenue sources (including non-income | 5 | | resources), rates, and levels that have been passed by the | 6 | | General Assembly as of the date of the submission of the State | 7 | | budget for the fiscal year and that are authorized to take | 8 | | effect in that fiscal year. Except with respect to the capital | 9 | | development provisions of the State budget, the Governor shall | 10 | | determine available revenue, deduct the cost of essential | 11 | | government services, including, but not limited to, pension | 12 | | payments and debt service, and assign a percentage of the | 13 | | remaining revenue to each statewide prioritized goal, as | 14 | | established in Section 50-25 of this Law, taking into | 15 | | consideration the proposed goals set forth in the report of the | 16 | | Commission established under that Section. The Governor shall | 17 | | also demonstrate how spending priorities for the fiscal year | 18 | | fulfill those statewide goals. The amounts recommended by the
| 19 | | Governor for appropriation to the respective departments, | 20 | | offices and
institutions shall be formulated according to each | 21 | | department's, office's, and institution's ability to | 22 | | effectively deliver services that meet the established | 23 | | statewide goals. The amounts relating to particular functions
| 24 | | and activities shall be further formulated in accordance with | 25 | | the object
classification specified in Section 13 of the State | 26 | | Finance Act. In addition, the amounts recommended by the |
| | | HB0045 | - 3 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | Governor for appropriation shall take into account each State | 2 | | agency's effectiveness in achieving its prioritized goals for | 3 | | the previous fiscal year, as set forth in Section 50-25 of this | 4 | | Law, giving priority to agencies and programs that have | 5 | | demonstrated a focus on the prevention of waste and the maximum | 6 | | yield from resources. | 7 | | Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Governor shall | 8 | | distribute written quarterly financial reports on operating | 9 | | funds, which may include general, State, or federal funds and | 10 | | may include funds related to agencies that have significant | 11 | | impacts on State operations, and budget statements on all | 12 | | appropriated funds to the General Assembly and the State | 13 | | Comptroller. The reports shall be submitted no later than 45 | 14 | | days after the last day of each quarter of the fiscal year and | 15 | | shall be posted on the Governor's Office of Management and | 16 | | Budget's website on the same day. The reports shall be prepared | 17 | | and presented for each State agency and on a statewide level in | 18 | | an executive summary format that may include, for the fiscal | 19 | | year to date, individual itemizations for each significant | 20 | | revenue type as well as itemizations of expenditures and | 21 | | obligations, by agency, with an appropriate level of detail. | 22 | | The reports shall include a calculation of the actual total | 23 | | budget surplus or deficit for the fiscal year to date. The | 24 | | Governor shall also present periodic budget addresses | 25 | | throughout the fiscal year at the invitation of the General | 26 | | Assembly. |
| | | HB0045 | - 4 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General | 2 | | Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the | 3 | | resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this | 4 | | Section. Appropriations may be adjusted during the fiscal year | 5 | | by means of one or more supplemental appropriation bills if any | 6 | | State agency either fails to meet or exceeds the goals set | 7 | | forth in Section 50-25 of this Law. | 8 | | For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
| 9 | | Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds | 10 | | shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure | 11 | | measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally | 12 | | accepted accounting principles for governments: | 13 | | (1) General Revenue Fund. | 14 | | (2) Common School Fund. | 15 | | (3) Educational Assistance Fund. | 16 | | (4) Road Fund. | 17 | | (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund. | 18 | | (6) Agricultural Premium Fund. | 19 | | These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The | 20 | | revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted | 21 | | funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
| 22 | | revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, | 23 | | plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the | 24 | | budgeted year that are expected to
be collected during the | 25 | | lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts | 26 | | collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that |
| | | HB0045 | - 5 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. | 2 | | Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements | 3 | | associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State | 4 | | Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which | 5 | | current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, | 6 | | the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for | 7 | | expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year. | 8 | | Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in | 9 | | the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the | 10 | | State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal | 11 | | year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were | 12 | | carried over from the prior year, where the payment is | 13 | | authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any | 14 | | budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed | 15 | | revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be | 16 | | considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year. | 17 | | Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers | 18 | | between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs | 19 | | incurred during the budget year. | 20 | | Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all | 21 | | anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations | 22 | | that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal | 23 | | year. | 24 | | By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government | 25 | | Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund | 26 | | transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
|
| | | HB0045 | - 6 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and | 2 | | the Governor. | 3 | | For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed | 4 | | expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available | 5 | | for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a | 6 | | fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General | 7 | | Assembly to be available during that year. | 8 | | (b) By February 24, 2010, the Governor must file a written | 9 | | report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the | 10 | | House of Representatives containing the following: | 11 | | (1) for fiscal year 2010, the revenues for all budgeted | 12 | | funds, both actual to date and estimated for the full | 13 | | fiscal year; | 14 | | (2) for fiscal year 2010, the expenditures for all | 15 | | budgeted funds, both actual to date and estimated for the | 16 | | full fiscal year; | 17 | | (3) for fiscal year 2011, the estimated revenues for | 18 | | all budgeted funds, including without limitation the | 19 | | affordable General Revenue Fund appropriations, for the | 20 | | full fiscal year; and | 21 | | (4) for fiscal year 2011, an estimate of the | 22 | | anticipated liabilities for all budgeted funds, including | 23 | | without limitation the affordable General Revenue Fund | 24 | | appropriations, debt service on bonds issued, and the | 25 | | State's contributions to the pension systems, for the full | 26 | | fiscal year. |
| | | HB0045 | - 7 - | LRB099 00299 JLK 20304 b |
|
| 1 | | Between July 1 and August 31 of each fiscal year, the | 2 | | members of the General Assembly and members of the public may | 3 | | make written budget recommendations to the Governor. | 4 | | Beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the | 5 | | budgets submitted by the Governor and appropriations made by | 6 | | the General Assembly for all executive branch State agencies | 7 | | must adhere to a method of budgeting where each priority must | 8 | | be justified each year according to merit rather than according | 9 | | to the amount appropriated for the preceding year. | 10 | | (Source: P.A. 97-669, eff. 1-13-12; 97-813, eff. 7-13-12; 98-2, | 11 | | eff. 2-19-13; 98-626, eff. 2-5-14.) |
