26    further   formulated   in   accordance   with   the    object
27    classification  specified  in Section 13 of the State Finance
28    Act.  State budgets  submitted  for  fiscal  years  2007  and

31    Management and Budget Act.

 1        The  Governor  shall  not  propose  expenditures  and the
 2    General Assembly shall not enact appropriations  that  exceed
 3    the  resources estimated to be available, as provided in this
 4    Section.
 5        For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of  the  1970
 6    Illinois  Constitution,  the  State  budget for the following
 7    funds  shall  be  prepared  on  the  basis  of  revenue   and
 8    expenditure  measurement  concepts  that  are in concert with
 9    generally accepted accounting principles for governments:
10             (1)  General Revenue Fund.
11             (2)  Common School Fund.
12             (3)  Educational Assistance Fund.
13             (4)  Road Fund.
14             (5)  Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
15             (6)  Agricultural Premium Fund.
16        These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds".   The
17    revenue  estimates  used in the State budget for the budgeted
18    funds shall include the  estimated  beginning  fund  balance,
19    plus  revenues  estimated  to be received during the budgeted
20    year, plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30
21    of the budgeted year that are expected to be collected during
22    the lapse period  following  the  budgeted  year,  minus  the
23    receipts  collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted
24    year that became due to the State  in  the  year  before  the
25    budgeted year.  Revenues shall also include estimated federal
26    reimbursements  associated with the recognition of Section 25
27    of the State Finance Act liabilities.  For any budgeted  fund
28    for  which  current  year  revenues are anticipated to exceed
29    expenditures,  the  surplus  shall  be  considered  to  be  a
30    resource available for expenditure  in  the  budgeted  fiscal
31    year.
32        Expenditure  estimates for the budgeted funds included in
33    the State budget shall include the costs to  be  incurred  by
34    the  State  for  the  budgeted  year,  to be paid in the next
 
                            -3-      LRB093 07683 MKM 20246 b
 1    fiscal year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year  which
 2    were  carried  over from the prior year, where the payment is
 3    authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act.   For  any
 4    budgeted  fund  for which expenditures are expected to exceed
 5    revenues in the current fiscal year,  the  deficit  shall  be
 6    considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
 7        Revenues  and  expenditures  shall also include transfers
 8    between funds that are based on revenues  received  or  costs
 9    incurred during the budget year.
10        By  March  15  of  each  year,  the  Economic  and Fiscal
11    Commission shall prepare revenue and fund transfer  estimates
12    in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  this Section and
13    report those  estimates  to  the  General  Assembly  and  the
14    Governor.
15        For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
16    expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
17    for  the  fiscal  year as shown in the budget.  Appropriation
18    for a fiscal year shall not exceed  funds  estimated  by  the
19    General Assembly to be available during that year.

21        Section  10.  The  Governor's  Office  of  Management and
22    Budget Act is amended by adding Section 6.5 as follows:

23        (20 ILCS 3005/6.5 new)
24        Sec.  6.5.  Development   of   program   objectives   and
25    performance measures for State programs and agencies.
26        (a)  The   General   Assembly   finds   that  the  public
27    accountability of State agency programs will be enhanced by:
28             (1)  making State government more result-oriented;
29             (2)  increasing public awareness of the efficacy  of
30        State government programs;
31             (3)  facilitating  informed  decision-making  on the
32        allocation of State resources; and
 
                            -4-      LRB093 07683 MKM 20246 b
 1             (4)  increasing  public  access  to  information  on
 2        State government programs.
 3        (b)  The Office, in cooperation with the Comptroller  and
 4    State   agencies,   shall   develop  program  objectives  and
 5    performance measures for State programs.  In  developing  the
 6    program  objectives and performance measures, the Office must
 7    incorporate the data developed  under  subsection  (c).   The
 8    program objectives shall be developed by October 1, 2004. The
 9    Governor may appoint an advisory commission to participate in
10    developing  program  goals  and  objectives.   Members of the
11    commission shall  serve  without  compensation,  but  may  be
12    reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in carrying
13    out their duties.
14        Performance  measures  to  measure  progress in achieving
15    program goals and objectives shall be developed by October 1,
16    2005. The performance measures must be used in preparing  and
17    presenting   State   budgets   for   fiscal  years  2007  and
18    thereafter.  The performance  measures  shall  be  integrated
19    with the budget so that expenditures and other program inputs
20    can   be   associated  with  program  goals  and  performance
21    measures.
22        (c)  The Office shall continue the performance management
23    practices being conducted by the Office of  the  Governor  on
24    and  before  February  28, 2002. These practices include, but
25    are not limited to:
26             (1)  the development of mission  statements,  goals,
27        and objectives for State agencies and programs;
28             (2)  the    evaluation    of    the    results   and
29        accomplishments of State agencies and programs; and
30             (3)  the   development   of   outcome    indicators,
31        cost-effectiveness  indicators,  and  external benchmarks
32        for State agencies and programs.
33        The Office shall provide the information  developed  from
34    these performance management practices to the Comptroller and
 
                            -5-      LRB093 07683 MKM 20246 b
 1    cooperate   with   the   Comptroller  in  the  reporting  and
 2    publishing  the  data  developed  through  these  performance
 3    management practices. The application  of  these  performance
 4    management  practices  shall  be  extended annually until the
 5    budget and performance of all State agencies and programs are
 6    evaluated in accordance  with  these  performance  management
 7    practices.
 8        (d)  As  much  as  possible,  the  Office  shall  rely on
 9    existing reporting forms utilized by direct service providers
10    in collecting data on community based programs and  services,
11    rather  than creating a new overlay of reports to be required
12    of State agencies and providers.

13        Section 15. The  State  Comptroller  Act  is  amended  by
14    adding Section 6.05 as follows:

15        (15 ILCS 405/6.05 new)
16        Sec.   6.05.   Publication   of   performance  management
17    practices data.  The Comptroller shall, in  cooperation  with
18    the  Governor's  Office of Management and Budget, compile and
19    publish the data developed under subsection  (b)  of  Section
20    6.5 of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget Act.

21        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
22    becoming law.
