7 (15 ILCS 20/38.3)
8 Sec. 38.3. Responsible Education Funding Law.
9 (a) The Governor shall submit to the General Assembly a
10 proposed budget for elementary and secondary education in
11 which total General Revenue Fund appropriations are no less
12 than the total General Revenue Fund appropriations of the
13 previous fiscal year. In addition, the Governor shall
14 specify the total amount of funds to be transferred from the
15 General Revenue Fund to the Common School Fund during the
16 budget year, which shall be no less than the total amount
17 transferred during the previous fiscal year. The Governor
18 may submit a proposed budget in which the total appropriated
19 and transferred amounts are less than the previous fiscal
20 year if the Governor declares in writing to the General
21 Assembly the reason for the lesser amounts.
22 (b) The General Assembly shall appropriate amounts for
23 elementary and secondary education from the General Revenue
24 Fund for each fiscal year so that the total General Revenue
25 Fund appropriation is no less than the total General Revenue
26 Fund appropriation for elementary and secondary education for
27 the previous fiscal year. In addition, the General Assembly
28 shall legislatively transfer from the General Revenue Fund to
29 the Common School Fund for such fiscal year a total amount
30 that is no less than the total amount transferred for the
31 previous fiscal year. The General Assembly may appropriate

1 or transfer lesser amounts if it declares by Joint Resolution
2 the reason for the lesser amounts.
3 (c) Beginning with fiscal year 1998 and in each fiscal
4 year thereafter, the aggregate amount of supplemental
5 appropriations made from the General Revenue Fund by the
6 General Assembly for elementary and secondary education for
7 the fiscal year shall be an amount that is not less than the
8 product of the aggregate amount of supplemental
9 appropriations made from the General Revenue Fund by the
10 General Assembly for all purposes for that fiscal year
11 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
12 aggregate amount appropriated from the General Revenue Fund
13 for elementary and secondary education for that fiscal year
14 (exclusive of the amount of any supplemental General Revenue
15 Fund appropriations made for elementary and secondary
16 education for that fiscal year) and the denominator of which
17 is the aggregate amount appropriated from the General Revenue
18 Fund for all purposes for that fiscal year (exclusive of the
19 amount of any supplemental General Revenue Fund
20 appropriations made for any purpose for that fiscal year).
21 As used in this subsection, "supplemental appropriations"
22 means amounts appropriated from the General Revenue Fund
23 under legislation that is introduced, amended, or made part
24 of a conference committee report and enacted on or after July
25 1 of a fiscal year and that increase the amount appropriated
26 from the General Revenue Fund for that same fiscal year.
27 (d) This Section may be cited as the Responsible
28 Education Funding Law.
