SB2205- 19 -LRB100 12262 HLH 24861 b

1State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
2Representatives. The report shall indicate: (i) the amount of
3State spending set forth in the applicable Public Act; (ii) the
4total amount of State spending authorized by law for the
5applicable fiscal year as of the date of the report; and (iii)
6whether State spending exceeds the State spending limitation
7set forth in subsection (b). The Auditor General may examine
8multiple Public Acts in one consolidated report, provided that
9each Public Act is examined within the time period mandated by
10this subsection (c). The Auditor General shall issue reports in
11accordance with this Section through June 30, 2025.
12    At the request of the Auditor General, each State agency
13shall, without delay, make available to the Auditor General or

2    (d) If the Auditor General reports that State spending has
3exceeded the State spending limitation set forth in subsection

5bills passed by the General Assembly to reduce State spending
6to a level that does not exceed the State spending limitation
7within 45 calendar days of receipt of the Auditor General's
8report, then the Governor may, for the purpose of reducing
9State spending to a level that does not exceed the State
10spending limitation set forth in subsection (b), designate
11amounts to be set aside as a reserve from the amounts
12appropriated from the State general funds for all boards,
13commissions, agencies, institutions, authorities, colleges,
14universities, and bodies politic and corporate of the State,
15but not other constitutional officers, the legislative or
16judicial branch, the office of the Executive Inspector General,

19period. If the Governor designates amounts to be set aside as a
20reserve, the Governor shall give notice of the designation to
21the Auditor General, the State Treasurer, the State
22Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The
23amounts placed in reserves shall not be transferred, obligated,

26spending and shall not be considered when calculating the total

 

 

SB2205- 21 -LRB100 12262 HLH 24861 b

1amount of State spending. Any Public Act authorizing the use of
2amounts placed in reserve by the Governor is considered State
3spending, unless such Public Act authorizes the use of amounts
4placed in reserves in response to a fiscal emergency under
5subsection (g).
6    (e) If the Auditor General reports under subsection (c)
7that State spending has exceeded the State spending limitation
8set forth in subsection (b), then the Auditor General shall
9issue a supplemental report no sooner than the 61st day and no
10later than the 65th day after issuing the report pursuant to
11subsection (c). The supplemental report shall: (i) summarize
12details of actions taken by the General Assembly and the
13Governor after the issuance of the initial report to reduce
14State spending, if any, (ii) indicate whether the level of
15State spending has changed since the initial report, and (iii)
16indicate whether State spending exceeds the State spending
17limitation. The Auditor General shall file the report with the
18Secretary of State and copies with the Governor, the State
19Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
20Representatives. If the supplemental report of the Auditor
21General provides that State spending exceeds the State spending
22limitation, then the compensation of members of the General
23Assembly shall be withheld in accordance with subsection (a)
24beginning with the first pay period after the issuance of the
25supplemental report.
26    (f) Notwithstanding the State spending limitation set

 

 

SB2205- 22 -LRB100 12262 HLH 24861 b

1forth in subsection (b) of this Section, the Governor may
2declare a fiscal emergency by filing a declaration with the

6State fiscal year, set forth compelling reasons for declaring a
7fiscal emergency, and request a specific dollar amount. Unless,
8within 10 calendar days of receipt of the Governor's
9declaration, the State Comptroller or State Treasurer notifies
10the Senate and the House of Representatives that he or she does
11not concur in the Governor's declaration, State spending
12authorized by law to address the fiscal emergency in an amount
13no greater than the dollar amount specified in the declaration

9contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
10arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
11of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
12that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
13be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
14arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
15together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
16stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
17would bear in the absence of such arrangements.
18    The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated
19to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with
20respect to interest rate protection or exchange agreements,

7payments to be included in the calculation of interest required
8to be paid by the State.
9    (c) Prior to the issuance of any Variable Rate Bonds
10pursuant to subsection (a), the Director of the Governor's
11Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
12risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
13variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
1420%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
15outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
16terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
17from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of
18Management and Budget but in no event shall any amendment cause
19the permitted level of the State's variable rate exposure with
20respect to Bonds to exceed 20%.
