AN ACT concerning State government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The State Budget Law of the Civil |
Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by changing Section |
50-25 as follows:
|
(15 ILCS 20/50-25) |
Sec. 50-25. Statewide prioritized goals. For fiscal year |
2012 and each fiscal year thereafter, prior to the submission |
of the State budget, the Governor, in consultation with the |
appropriation committees of the General Assembly and, |
beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the |
commission established under this Section, shall: (i) |
prioritize outcomes that are most important for each State |
agency of the executive branch under the jurisdiction of the |
Governor to achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals |
to accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the |
outcome. There must be a reasonable number of annually defined |
statewide goals defining State priorities for the budget. Each |
goal shall be further defined to facilitate success in |
achieving that goal. No later than July 31 of each fiscal year |
beginning in fiscal year 2012, the Governor shall establish a |
commission for the purpose of advising the Governor in setting |
|
those outcomes and goals, including the timeline for achieving |
those outcomes and goals. The commission shall be a |
well-balanced group and shall be a manageable size. The |
commission shall hold at least 2 in-person public meetings |
during each fiscal year. One meeting shall be held in the City |
of Chicago and one meeting shall be held in the City of |
Springfield. The commission may choose by a majority vote of |
its members to hold one virtual meeting, which is open to the |
public and over the Internet, in lieu of the 2 in-person public |
meetings required under this Section. By November 1 of each |
year, the commission shall submit a report to the Governor and |
the General Assembly setting forth recommendations with |
respect to the Governor's proposed outcomes and goals. The |
report shall be published on the Governor's Office of |
Management and Budget's website. In its report, the commission |
shall propose a percentage of the total budget to be assigned |
to each proposed outcome and goal. The commission shall also |
review existing mandated expenditures and include in its |
report recommendations for the termination of mandated |
expenditures. The General Assembly may object to the |
commission's report by passing a joint resolution detailing |
the General Assembly's objections. |
In addition, each other constitutional officer of the |
executive branch, in consultation with the appropriation |
committees of the General Assembly, shall: (i) prioritize |
outcomes that are most important for his or her office to |
|
achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals to |
accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the |
outcome. The Governor and each constitutional officer shall |
separately conduct performance analyses to determine which |
programs, strategies, and activities will best achieve those |
desired outcomes. The Governor shall recommend that |
appropriations be made to State agencies and officers for the |
next fiscal year based on the agreed upon goals and |
priorities. Each agency and officer may develop its own |
strategies for meeting those goals and shall review and |
analyze those strategies on a regular basis. The Governor |
shall also implement procedures to measure annual progress |
toward the State's highest priority outcomes and shall develop |
a statewide reporting system that compares the actual results |
with budgeted results. Those performance measures and results |
shall be posted on the State Comptroller's website, and |
compiled for distribution in the Comptroller's Public |
Accountability Report, as is currently the practice on the |
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General |
Assembly.
