| Public Act 102-0801 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Budget Law of the Civil | ||||
Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by changing Section | ||||
50-25 as follows: | ||||
(15 ILCS 20/50-25) | ||||
Sec. 50-25. Statewide prioritized goals. For fiscal year | ||||
2012 and each fiscal year thereafter, prior to the submission | ||||
of the State budget, the Governor, in consultation with the | ||||
appropriation committees of the General Assembly and, | ||||
beginning with budgets prepared for fiscal year 2013, the | ||||
commission established under this Section, shall: (i) | ||||
prioritize outcomes that are most important for each State | ||||
agency of the executive branch under the jurisdiction of the | ||||
Governor to achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals | ||||
to accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the | ||||
outcome. There must be a reasonable number of annually defined | ||||
statewide goals defining State priorities for the budget. Each | ||||
goal shall be further defined to facilitate success in | ||||
achieving that goal. No later than July 31 of each fiscal year | ||||
beginning in fiscal year 2012, the Governor shall establish a | ||||
commission for the purpose of advising the Governor in setting | ||||
those outcomes and goals, including the timeline for achieving | ||
those outcomes and goals. The commission shall be a | ||
well-balanced group and shall be a manageable size. The | ||
commission shall hold at least 2 in-person public meetings | ||
during each fiscal year. One meeting shall be held in the City | ||
of Chicago and one meeting shall be held in the City of | ||
Springfield. The commission may choose by a majority vote of | ||
its members to hold one virtual meeting, which is open to the | ||
public and over the Internet, in lieu of the 2 in-person public | ||
meetings required under this Section. By November 1 of each | ||
year, the commission shall submit a report to the Governor and | ||
the General Assembly setting forth recommendations with | ||
respect to the Governor's proposed outcomes and goals. The | ||
report shall be published on the Governor's Office of | ||
Management and Budget's website. In its report, the commission | ||
shall propose a percentage of the total budget to be assigned | ||
to each proposed outcome and goal. The commission shall also | ||
review existing mandated expenditures and include in its | ||
report recommendations for the termination of mandated | ||
expenditures. The General Assembly may object to the | ||
commission's report by passing a joint resolution detailing | ||
the General Assembly's objections. | ||
In addition, each other constitutional officer of the | ||
executive branch, in consultation with the appropriation | ||
committees of the General Assembly, shall: (i) prioritize | ||
outcomes that are most important for his or her office to | ||
achieve for the next fiscal year and (ii) set goals to | ||
accomplish those outcomes according to the priority of the | ||
outcome. The Governor and each constitutional officer shall | ||
separately conduct performance analyses to determine which | ||
programs, strategies, and activities will best achieve those | ||
desired outcomes. The Governor shall recommend that | ||
appropriations be made to State agencies and officers for the | ||
next fiscal year based on the agreed upon goals and | ||
priorities. Each agency and officer may develop its own | ||
strategies for meeting those goals and shall review and | ||
analyze those strategies on a regular basis. The Governor | ||
shall also implement procedures to measure annual progress | ||
toward the State's highest priority outcomes and shall develop | ||
a statewide reporting system that compares the actual results | ||
with budgeted results. Those performance measures and results | ||
shall be posted on the State Comptroller's website, and | ||
compiled for distribution in the Comptroller's Public | ||
Accountability Report, as is currently the practice on the | ||
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | ||
Assembly.

becoming law.
