10        (15 ILCS 20/38) (from Ch. 127, par. 38)
11        Sec. 38. The Governor shall, as soon as possible and  not
12    later than April 7, 1992, and the first Wednesday in March of
13    each  year  through  1997,  and  on  the  third  Wednesday in
14    February of each year  beginning  in  1998,  submit  a  State
15    budget,  embracing  therein the amounts recommended by him to
16    be appropriated to the respective departments,  offices,  and
17    institutions,   and   for  all  other  public  purposes,  the
18    estimated revenues from taxation, the estimated revenues from
19    sources other than taxation, and an estimate  of  the  amount
20    required  to  be raised by taxation.  The amounts recommended
21    by  the  Governor  for  appropriation   to   the   respective
                            -2-              LRB9001486WHmgam
 1    departments,  offices  and  institutions  shall be formulated
 2    according to the various functions and activities  for  which
 3    the respective department, office or institution of the State
 4    government  (including the elective officers in the executive
 5    department and including the University of Illinois  and  the
 6    judicial  department) is responsible. The amounts relating to
 7    particular  functions  and  activities   shall   be   further
 8    formulated  in  accordance  with  the  object  classification
 9    specified in Section 13 of the State Finance Act.
10        For  the purpose of this Section, a balanced budget shall
11    mean a budget for which  the  proposed  expenditures  do  not
12    exceed funds estimated to be available for the fiscal year as
13    required  by  Article  VIII, Section 2 of the Constitution of
14    the  State  of  Illinois.  A  balanced  budget  must  include
15    estimated resources available for the budgeted year that  are
16    at  least equal to the proposed use of such resources for the
17    budgeted year, determined as provided in this Section.
18        The Governor's State budget proposal shall be prepared on
19    the basis of revenue  and  expenditure  measurement  concepts
20    that  are  in  concert  with  generally  accepted  accounting
21    principles for governments.
22        The  revenue  estimates used in the budget proposal shall
23    include the revenues estimated  to  be  received  during  the
24    budgeted  year,  plus the estimated receipts due the State as
25    of June 30 of the budgeted  year  that  are  expected  to  be
26    collected  during  the  lapse  period  following the budgeted
27    year, minus the receipts collected during the first 2  months
28    of the budgeted year that became due to the State in the year
29    before  the  budgeted  year.  For any budgeted fund for which
30    revenues are anticipated to exceed  expenditures  (determined
31    in accordance with this Section and including the most recent
32    audited  fund  balance  prepared in accordance with generally
33    accepted accounting principles) in the current  fiscal  year,
34    the   surplus shall be considered as a resource available for
                            -3-              LRB9001486WHmgam
 1    expenditure in the budgeted year.
 2        Expenditure estimates included in the  Governor's  budget
 3    submission  recommended to be subject to appropriations shall
 4    include the costs  to  be  incurred  by  the  State  for  the
 5    budgeted  year  regardless  of  the  fiscal year in which the
 6    liability is discharged.  For any  budgeted  fund  for  which
 7    expenditures  are  expected to exceed revenues (determined in
 8    accordance with this Section and including  the  most  recent
 9    audited  fund  balance  prepared in accordance with generally
10    accepted accounting principles) in the current  fiscal  year,
11    the  deficit  shall  be  considered  as a use of funds in the
12    budgeted year.
13        Revenues and expenditures shall  also  include  transfers
14    between  funds  that  are based on revenues received or costs
15    incurred during the budget year.  Such transfers  shall  also
16    include   those   that,   by   statutory   or  administrative
17    scheduling, are not transferred until the subsequent year.
18        By April 15 of each year, the Auditor General  shall  (i)
19    determine  whether  the expenditure and revenue estimates and
20    fund  transfers  that  have  been  included  in  the   budget
21    submitted  by  the  Governor  under  this  Section reasonably
22    satisfy the requirements of this Section and (ii) report this
23    determination to  the  General  Assembly  and  the  Governor,
24    together  with  any  recommendations that the Auditor General
25    may have for improving those estimates or transfers in future
26    budget submissions.
