1 the estimated revenues from sources other than taxation, and an
2 estimate of the amount required to be raised by taxation. The
3 amounts recommended by the Governor for appropriation to the
4 respective departments, offices and institutions shall be
5 formulated according to the various functions and activities
6 for which the respective department, office or institution of
7 the State government (including the elective officers in the
8 executive department and including the University of Illinois
9 and the judicial department) is responsible. The amounts
10 relating to particular functions and activities shall be
11 further formulated in accordance with the object
12 classification specified in Section 13 of the State Finance
13 Act.
14     The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General
15 Assembly shall not enact appropriations that exceed the
16 resources estimated to be available, as provided in this
17 Section.
18     For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
19 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds
20 shall be prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure
21 measurement concepts that are in concert with generally
22 accepted accounting principles for governments:
23         (1) General Revenue Fund.
24         (2) Common School Fund.

23 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
24 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
25 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
26 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
