55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 6-1002.5. Capital Improvement, Repair, or Replacement Fund.

(a) In the preparation of the annual budget, an amount not to exceed 3% of the equalized assessed value of property subject to taxation by the county may be accumulated in a separate fund 
for the purpose of making specified capital improvements, repairs,
or replacements with respect to real property or equipment or other tangible
personal property of the county.  Any amount so accumulated shall be deposited
into a special fund to be known as the County Capital Improvement, Repair, or
Replacement Fund ("the Fund").  Expenditures from the Fund shall be budgeted in
the fiscal year in which the capital improvement, repair, or replacement
will occur.

(b) Moneys shall be transferred from the Fund into the county's general
corporate or operating fund as follows:

(1) When a capital improvement, repair, or

replacement project is completed, or when such a project is abandoned, and the county board determines that there remain in the Fund unspent moneys that were budgeted for the project, those unspent moneys shall be transferred.

(2) When the county board determines that surplus

moneys, not needed for any capital improvement, repair, or replacement project for which the Fund was established, remain in the Fund, those surplus moneys shall be transferred.

Moneys transferred to the county's general corporate or operating fund under
this
subsection shall be transferred on the first day of the fiscal year following
the fiscal year in
which the unspent or surplus moneys were determined to
exist.

Sec. 6-1003. Further appropriations barred; transfers.

After
the adoption of the county budget, no further appropriations shall be made
at any other time during such fiscal year, except as provided in this

After the adoption of the county budget, transfers of appropriations may be made without a vote of the board; however, transfers of appropriations affecting personnel and capital may be made at
any meeting of the board by a two-thirds vote of all the members
constituting such board, the vote to be taken by ayes and nays and entered
on the record of the meeting, provided for any type of transfer that the total amount appropriated for the fund is not affected.

electors of any revision, alteration or amendments of the Constitution
adopted by the Constitutional Convention.

55 ILCS 5/6-1005

(55 ILCS 5/6-1005) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-1005)

Sec. 6-1005.

Contract or obligation in excess of appropriation.

Except as herein provided, neither the county board nor any one on
its behalf shall have power, either directly or indirectly, to make any
contract or do any act which adds to the county expenditures or liabilities
in any year anything above the amount provided for in the annual budget for
that fiscal year. Provided, however, that the County Board may lease from
any Public Building Commission created pursuant to the provisions of the
Public Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as heretofore or
hereafter amended, any real or personal property for county purposes for
any period of time not exceeding twenty years, and such lease may be made
and the obligation and expense thereunder incurred without making a
previous appropriation therefor, except as otherwise provided in Section
5-1108. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to deprive the board of
the power to provide for and cause to be paid from the county funds any
charge upon said county imposed by law independently of any action of such
board. Except as herein provided, no contract shall be entered into and no
obligation or expense shall be incurred by or on behalf of a county unless
an appropriation therefor has been previously made.
