    AN ACT concerning public aid.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Cash
Management and Medicaid Maximization Act of 2011.
 
    Section 5. Interfund transfers.
    (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of State law to the
contrary, on the effective date of this Act, or as soon
thereafter as practical, for the purpose of accessing enhanced
federal Medicaid matching funds that expire on June 30, 2011,
on or after June 20, 2011 and no later than June 25, 2011 the
Governor, the State Comptroller, and the State Treasurer shall
transfer amounts into the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund from
special funds of the State, excluding the Road Fund and the
State Construction Account Fund, not to exceed $900,000,000.
    (b) No transfer may be made from a special fund under this
Section that would have the effect of reducing the available
balance in the fund to an amount less than the amount remaining
unexpended and unreserved from the total appropriation from
that fund estimated to be expended for the months of July and
August 2011. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, no such transfer may be made from any special fund
that is exclusively collected by or appropriated to any other
constitutional officer without the written approval of that
constitutional officer. Any moneys transferred pursuant to
this Act shall be repaid from the General Revenue Fund to the
fund of origin by July 31, 2011.
    (c) On and after the effective date of this Act through
July 30, 2011, if any special fund utilized for the purpose of
this Act has insufficient cash from which the State Comptroller
may make expenditures properly supported by appropriations
from the fund, then the Governor, the State Treasurer, and the
State Comptroller shall transfer from the General Revenue Fund
to the fund only such amount as is immediately necessary to
satisfy outstanding expenditure obligations on a timely basis,
subject to the provisions of the State Prompt Payment Act. All
or a portion of the amounts transferred from the General
Revenue Fund to a fund pursuant to this subsection (c) from
time to time may be re-transferred by the Governor, the State
Comptroller, and the State Treasurer from the receiving fund
into the General Revenue Fund as soon as and to the extent that
deposits are made into or receipts are collected by the
receiving fund.
    (d) By no later than July 30, 2011, any amounts transferred
under the authority of this Section shall be transferred back
and receipted by the General Revenue Fund. These transfers back
to the funds of origin shall be made and receipted
notwithstanding any other State law to the contrary.
 
    Section 10. Interest payable to special funds. As soon as
practical, after all amounts initially transferred under the
authority of this Act from special funds of the State have been
transferred back pursuant to Section 5 of this Act, the State
Treasurer shall calculate the amounts of interest that would
have accrued to those special funds if those transfers had not
occurred and transfer those amounts from the General Revenue
Fund to those special funds.
 
    Section 15. Prohibition on payments to contractors. No
fees or expenses shall be paid by the State to any contractual
legal counsel, financial advisor, or other consultant or
contractor in relation to the actions authorized pursuant to
this Act.
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
