9 various functions and activities for which the respective
10 department, office or institution of the State government
11 (including the elective officers in the executive department

14 functions and activities shall be further formulated in
15 accordance with the object classification specified in Section

17 recommended by the Governor for appropriation shall take into
18 account each State agency's effectiveness in achieving its
19 prioritized goals for the previous fiscal year, as set forth in
20 Section 50-25 of this Law, giving priority to agencies and
21 programs that have demonstrated a focus on the prevention of
22 waste and the maximum yield from resources.
23     Beginning in fiscal year 2011, the Governor shall
24 distribute written quarterly budget statements to the General
25 Assembly and the State Comptroller. The statements shall be
26 submitted on Wednesday of the last week of the last month of

 

 

09600SB3660ham012 - 3 - LRB096 20362 HLH 41652 a

1 each quarter of the fiscal year and, as is currently the

5 presented in an executive summary format that includes, for the
6 fiscal year to date, individual itemizations for each revenue
7 source as well as individual itemizations of expenditures and
8 obligations, by the classified line items set forth in Section

22     For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
23 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds
24 shall be prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure
25 measurement concepts that are in concert with generally
26 accepted accounting principles for governments:

10 revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year,
11 plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30 of the
12 budgeted year that are expected to be collected during the
13 lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the receipts
14 collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that
15 became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
16 Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
17 associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State
18 Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund for which
19 current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures,
20 the surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for
21 expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.
22     Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
23 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by the
24 State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next fiscal
25 year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year which were
26 carried over from the prior year, where the payment is

1 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
2 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
3 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
4 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
5     Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
6 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
7 incurred during the budget year.
8     Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
9 anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations
10 that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal
11 year.
12     By March 15 of each year, the Commission on Government
13 Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare revenue and fund
14 transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
15 Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and
16 the Governor.
17     For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
18 expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
19 for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation for a
20 fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General
21 Assembly to be available during that year.
22     (b) This subsection applies only to the process for the
23 proposed fiscal year 2011 budget.
