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.
(20 ILCS 3305/9) (from Ch. 127, par. 1059)
Sec. 9. Financing.
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature
and declared to be the policy of the State that funds to meet disasters
shall always be available.
(b) It is the legislative intent that the first recourse shall be to funds
regularly appropriated to State and political subdivision departments and
agencies. If the Governor finds that
the demands placed upon these funds in coping with a particular disaster are
unreasonably great, the Governor may make funds available from the
Disaster Response and Recovery Fund.
If
monies available from the Fund are insufficient, and if the Governor finds
that other sources of money to cope with the disaster are not available or are
insufficient, the Governor
shall request the
General Assembly to enact legislation as it may deem necessary to transfer
and expend monies appropriated for other purposes or
borrow, for a term not to exceed 2 years from the United
States government or other public or private source. If
the General Assembly is
not sitting in regular session to enact
such legislation for the transfer, expenditure or loan of
such monies, and the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
certify that the Senate and House are not in session, the Governor is
authorized to carry out those
decisions, by depositing transfers or loan proceeds into and making
expenditures from the Disaster Response and Recovery Fund, until such time as a quorum of
the General Assembly can convene
in a regular or extraordinary session.
The General Assembly shall, to the extent moneys become available, restore
moneys used from other sources under this Section.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to
limit the Governor's authority to apply for, administer and expend grants,
gifts or payments in aid of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response or
recovery.
