10 total contingency reserve may not exceed one-third of the sum
11 of (i) the total dollar amount of vouchers that have been
12 submitted to the State Comptroller for payment but for which
13 warrants have not been issued by the Comptroller as of July 1,

17 dollar amount of those outstanding vouchers and transfers to
18 the Governor on or before July 8, 2010.
 
19     Section 1-15. Contingency reserve restrictions. Until
20 January 9, 2011, the amounts placed in contingency reserve
21 shall not be transferred, obligated, encumbered, expended, or

10 Section 1-10 of this Act. The provisions of this Section do not
11 apply to non-appropriated funds, non-appropriated accounts,

14     Section 1-25. State agencies; review of contracts. As soon
15 as possible after the effective date of this Act, each State
16 agency of the executive branch shall review each of its
17 existing contracts. Those State agencies shall seek to modify
18 or terminate and re-bid those contracts if, upon review of the
19 contract, the agency determines that it is in the best interest
20 of the State to do so. For the purposes of this Section,
21 "contract" has the meaning ascribed to that term in the

1     (a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that
2 any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public
3 interest, safety, or welfare.
4     (b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that
5 requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required by
6 Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
7 finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior
8 notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking
9 with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70. The notice
10 shall include the text of the emergency rule and shall be
11 published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders or other
12 court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency may
13 be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable
14 constitutional or statutory provisions, an emergency rule
15 becomes effective immediately upon filing under Section 5-65 or
16 at a stated date less than 10 days thereafter. The agency's
17 finding and a statement of the specific reasons for the finding
18 shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take reasonable
19 and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the
20 persons who may be affected by them.

22 longer than 150 days, but the agency's authority to adopt an
23 identical rule under Section 5-40 is not precluded. No
24 emergency rule may be adopted more than once in any 24 month

11 offices and institutions shall be formulated according to the
12 various functions and activities for which the respective
13 department, office or institution of the State government
14 (including the elective officers in the executive department

17 functions and activities shall be further formulated in
18 accordance with the object classification specified in Section

25 waste and the maximum yield from resources.
26     Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Governor shall

 

 

SB3660 Enrolled - 61 - LRB096 20362 HLH 35999 b

1 distribute written quarterly budget statements to the General

8 presented in an executive summary format that includes, for the
9 fiscal year to date, individual itemizations for each revenue

25     For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
26 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds

 

 

SB3660 Enrolled - 62 - LRB096 20362 HLH 35999 b

6         (3) Educational Assistance Fund.
7         (4) Road Fund.
8         (5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.

17 collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that
18 became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
19 Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
20 associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State

24 expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.
25     Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
26 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by the

3 carried over from the prior year, where the payment is
4 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
5 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
6 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
7 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
8     Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
9 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
10 incurred during the budget year.
11     Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
12 anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations

14 year.
15     By March 15 of each year, the Commission on Government
16 Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare revenue and fund
17 transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
18 Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and
19 the Governor.
20     For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
21 expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
22 for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation for a
23 fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General
24 Assembly to be available during that year.
25     (b) This subsection applies only to the process for the
26 proposed fiscal year 2011 budget.
