SCULLY-GARRETT-KENNER AND NOVAK. New Act Creates the Increased Funding for Public Schools Act. Beginning with fiscal year 2000, and in each fiscal year thereafter, provides that the amount appropriated by the General Assembly from general funds for public school educational programs for the fiscal year shall be at least equal to the sum of (1) 51% of total new general funds available for spending from certain sources during that fiscal year, plus (2) the total amount appropriated from general funds for public school educational programs during the preceding fiscal year. Requires the Governor, beginning with fiscal year 2001, to include in his or her annual budget an allocation for public school educational programs that conforms to the provisions of the Act. Effective immediately. JUDICIAL NOTE (Administrative Office of Illinois Courts) There would be no increase in the number of judges needed. BALANCED BUDGET NOTE (Bureau of Budget) Since this bill is not a supplemental appropriation bill, the Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) The fiscal impact of this bill is similar to that of the Fund Education First Act. Fiscal Yr.
