Sec. 50‑5. Governor to submit State budget. The Governor shall, as soon as
possible and not later than the second Wednesday in April in 2003 and the third
Wednesday in February of each year beginning in 2004, except as otherwise provided in this Section, submit a
State budget, embracing therein the amounts recommended by the Governor to be
appropriated to the respective departments, offices, and institutions, and
for all other public purposes, the estimated revenues from taxation, the
estimated revenues from sources other than taxation, and an estimate of the
amount required to be raised by taxation. In 2004 only, the Governor shall submit the capital development section of the State budget not later than the fourth Tuesday of March (March 23, 2004). The amounts recommended by the
Governor for appropriation to the respective departments, offices and
institutions shall be formulated according to the various functions and
activities for which the respective department, office or institution of
the State government (including the elective officers in the executive
department and including the University of Illinois and the judicial
department) is responsible. The amounts relating to particular functions
and activities shall be further formulated in accordance with the object
classification specified in Section 13 of the State Finance Act.
The Governor shall not propose expenditures and the General Assembly shall
not enact appropriations that exceed the resources estimated to be available,
as provided in this Section.
For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds shall be
prepared on the basis of revenue and expenditure measurement concepts that are
in concert with generally accepted accounting principles for governments:
(1) General Revenue Fund.
(2) Common School Fund.
(3) Educational Assistance Fund.
(4) Road Fund.
(5) Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
(6) Agricultural Premium Fund.
These funds shall be known as the "budgeted funds". The revenue
estimates used in the State budget for the budgeted funds shall include the
estimated beginning fund balance, plus
revenues estimated to be received during the budgeted year, plus the estimated
receipts due the State as of June 30 of the budgeted year that are expected to
be collected during the lapse period following the budgeted year, minus the
receipts collected during the first 2 months of the budgeted year that became
due to the State in the year before the budgeted year. Revenues shall also
include estimated federal reimbursements associated with the recognition of
Section 25 of the State Finance Act liabilities. For any budgeted fund
for which current year revenues are anticipated to exceed expenditures, the
surplus shall be considered to be a resource available for expenditure in the
budgeted fiscal year.
Expenditure estimates for the budgeted funds included in the State budget
shall include the costs to be incurred by the State for the budgeted year,
to be paid in the next fiscal year, excluding costs paid in the budgeted year
which were carried over from the prior year, where the payment is authorized by
Section
25 of the State Finance Act. For any budgeted fund
for which expenditures are expected to exceed revenues in the current fiscal
year, the deficit shall be considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal
year.
Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers between funds that are
based on revenues received or costs incurred during the budget year.
By
March 15 of each year, the
Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare
revenue and fund transfer estimates in accordance with the requirements of this
Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and the Governor.
For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed expenditures shall
not exceed funds estimated to be available for the fiscal year as shown in the
budget. Appropriation for a fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by
the General Assembly to be available during that year.

section in which the Governor will present (1) information on the capital
projects and capital programs for which appropriations are requested,
(2) the capital spending plans, which shall document the first
and subsequent years cash requirements by fund for the proposed
bonded program, and (3) a statement that shall identify by

general obligation debt. In addition, the principal and interest
costs of the budget year program shall be presented separately,

necessary to retire the additional bonds needed to finance the
budget year's capital program. In 2004 only, the capital development section of the State budget shall be submitted by the Governor not later than the fourth Tuesday of March (March 23, 2004).
For the budget year, the current
year, and 3 prior fiscal years, the Governor shall also include
in the budget estimates of or actual values for the assets and
liabilities for General Assembly Retirement System, State Employees'
Retirement System of Illinois, State Universities Retirement System,
Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois, and Judges
Retirement System of Illinois.
The budget submitted by the Governor
shall contain, in addition, in a separate book, a tabulation of all
position and employment titles in each such department, office, and
institution, the number of each, and the salaries for each,
formulated according to divisions, bureaus, sections, offices,
departments, boards, and similar subdivisions, which shall
correspond as nearly as practicable to the functions and activities
for which the department, office, or institution is responsible.
Together with the budget, the Governor shall transmit the
estimates of
receipts and expenditures, as received by the Director
of the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget, of the elective officers
in the executive and judicial departments and
