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. Appropriations may be adjusted during the fiscal year
5 by means of one or more supplemental appropriation bills if

8 For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
9 Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following

20 revenue estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted
21 funds shall include the estimated beginning fund balance, plus
22 revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year,
23 plus the estimated receipts due the State as of June 30 of the
24 budgeted year that are expected to be collected during the
25 lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the receipts
26 collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that

1 became due to the State in the year before the budgeted year.
2 Revenues shall also include estimated federal reimbursements
3 associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State
4 Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund for which
5 current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures,
6 the surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for
7 expenditure in the budgeted fiscal year.
8 Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in
9 the State budget shall include the costs to be incurred by the
10 State for the budgeted year, to be paid in the next fiscal
11 year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year which were
12 carried over from the prior year, where the payment is
13 authorized by Section 25 of the State Finance Act. For any
14 budgeted fund for which expenditures are expected to exceed
15 revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
16 considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
17 Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
18 between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
19 incurred during the budget year.
20 Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
21 anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations
22 that are expected to be incurred during the budgeted fiscal
23 year.
24 By March 15 of each year, the Commission on Government
25 Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare revenue and fund

6 fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General
7 Assembly to be available during that year.
8 Beginning with budgets prepared for Fiscal Year 2024:

11 not include debt incurred, existing debt refinanced, or
12 additional funds appropriated, assigned, or transferred
13 from another fund.
14 (2) The General Assembly by law shall make
15 appropriations for all expenditures of public funds by the
16 State. Appropriations for a fiscal year shall not exceed
17 revenue estimated by the General Assembly to be available
18 during that year. Except for deficiency or emergency
19 appropriations, all appropriations are expendable only
20 during the fiscal year for which they were appropriated,
21 except that the General Assembly may provide for
22 appropriations from the Budget Stabilization Fund in
23 excess of revenue estimated by the General Assembly to be
24 available during that year by adoption of a resolution
25 approved by a record vote of three-fifths of the members
26 of each chamber. The excess appropriations may not exceed

4 to appropriations made by law. Expenditures for any fiscal
5 year shall not exceed the State's revenues and reserves in
6 the general funds, including proceeds of any debt
7 obligation, for that year. No debt obligation, except as
8 shall be repaid within the fiscal year of issuance, shall
9 be authorized for the current operation of any service or
10 program, nor shall the proceeds of any debt obligation be
11 expended for a purpose other than that for which it was
12 authorized.
13 (4) Any law requiring the expenditure of funds shall
14 be null and void unless, during the session in which the
15 Act receives final passage, an appropriation is made for
16 the estimated first year's funding.
17 (b) By February 24, 2010, the Governor must file a written
18 report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
19 House of Representatives containing the following:
20 (1) for fiscal year 2010, the revenues for all

12 make written budget recommendations to the Governor.
13 Beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the
14 budgets submitted by the Governor and appropriations made by
15 the General Assembly for all executive branch State agencies
16 must adhere to a method of budgeting where each priority must
17 be justified each year according to merit rather than
18 according to the amount appropriated for the preceding year.
