    AN ACT concerning finance.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 6z-78 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 105/6z-78)
    Sec. 6z-78. Capital Projects Fund; bonded indebtedness;
transfers. Money in the Capital Projects Fund shall, if and
when the State of Illinois incurs any bonded indebtedness using
the bond authorizations enacted in Public Act 96-36, Public Act
96-1554, Public Act 97-771, and this amendatory Act of the 98th
97th General Assembly, be set aside and used for the purpose of
paying and discharging annually the principal and interest on
that bonded indebtedness then due and payable.
    In addition to other transfers to the General Obligation
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund made pursuant to Section 15
of the General Obligation Bond Act, upon each delivery of
general obligation bonds using bond authorizations enacted in
Public Act 96-36, Public Act 96-1554, Public Act 97-771, and
this amendatory Act of the 98th 97th General Assembly the State
Comptroller shall compute and certify to the State Treasurer
the total amount of principal of, interest on, and premium, if
any, on such bonds during the then current and each succeeding
fiscal year. With respect to the interest payable on variable
rate bonds, such certifications shall be calculated at the
maximum rate of interest that may be payable during the fiscal
year, after taking into account any credits permitted in the
related indenture or other instrument against the amount of
such interest required to be appropriated for the period.
    (a) Except as provided for in subsection (b), on or before
the last day of each month, the State Treasurer and State
Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to
the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an
amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of,
interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds payable on their
next payment date, divided by the number of monthly transfers
occurring between the last previous payment date (or the
delivery date if no payment date has yet occurred) and the next
succeeding payment date. Interest payable on variable rate
bonds shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that
may be payable for the relevant period, after taking into
account any credits permitted in the related indenture or other
instrument against the amount of such interest required to be
appropriated for that period. Interest for which moneys have
already been deposited into the capitalized interest account
within the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund
shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts to be
transferred under this subsection.
    (b) On or before the last day of each month, the State
Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital
Projects Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and
Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the
principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds
issued prior to January 1, 2012 pursuant to Section 4(d) of the
General Obligation Bond Act payable on their next payment date,
divided by the number of monthly transfers occurring between
the last previous payment date (or the delivery date if no
payment date has yet occurred) and the next succeeding payment
date. If the available balance in the Capital Projects Fund is
not sufficient for the transfer required in this subsection,
the State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer the
difference from the Road Fund to the General Obligation Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund; except that such Road Fund
transfers shall constitute a debt of the Capital Projects Fund
which shall be repaid according to subsection (c). Interest
payable on variable rate bonds shall be calculated at the
maximum rate of interest that may be payable for the relevant
period, after taking into account any credits permitted in the
related indenture or other instrument against the amount of
such interest required to be appropriated for that period.
Interest for which moneys have already been deposited into the
capitalized interest account within the General Obligation
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund shall not be included in the
calculation of the amounts to be transferred under this
subsection.
    (c) On the first day of any month when the Capital Projects
Fund is carrying a debt to the Road Fund due to the provisions
of subsection (b), the State Treasurer and State Comptroller
shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the Road Fund
an amount sufficient to discharge that debt. These transfers to
the Road Fund shall continue until the Capital Projects Fund
has repaid to the Road Fund all transfers made from the Road
Fund pursuant to subsection (b). Notwithstanding any other law
to the contrary, transfers to the Road Fund from the Capital
Projects Fund shall be made prior to any other expenditures or
transfers out of the Capital Projects Fund.

General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois for the
categories and specific purposes expressed in Sections 2
through 8 of this Act, in the total amount of $49,317,925,743
$47,092,925,743 $45,476,125,743.
    The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section 16 of
this Act are herein called "Bonds".
    Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
$2,200,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
issued and sold in accordance with the Baccalaureate Savings
Act in the form of General Obligation College Savings Bonds.
    Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
$300,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
issued and sold in accordance with the Retirement Savings Act
in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.

$4,096,348,300 authorized by Public Act 96-1497 shall be used

    The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method of
financing the long-term capital needs of the State. This Act
will permit the issuance of a multi-purpose General Obligation
Bond with uniform terms and features. This will not only lower
the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of
issuing debt by improving the marketability of Illinois General
Obligation Bonds.
