| ||||
Public Act 098-0094 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning finance.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing | ||||
Section 6z-78 as follows: | ||||
(30 ILCS 105/6z-78)
| ||||
Sec. 6z-78. Capital Projects Fund; bonded indebtedness; | ||||
transfers. Money in the Capital Projects Fund shall, if and | ||||
when the State of Illinois incurs any bonded indebtedness using | ||||
the bond authorizations enacted in Public Act 96-36, Public Act | ||||
96-1554, Public Act 97-771, and this amendatory Act of the 98th | ||||
97th General Assembly, be set aside and used for the purpose of | ||||
paying and discharging annually the principal and interest on | ||||
that bonded indebtedness then due and payable. | ||||
In addition to other transfers to the General Obligation | ||||
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund made pursuant to Section 15 | ||||
of the General Obligation Bond Act, upon each delivery of | ||||
general obligation bonds using bond authorizations enacted in | ||||
Public Act 96-36, Public Act 96-1554, Public Act 97-771, and | ||||
this amendatory Act of the 98th 97th General Assembly the State | ||||
Comptroller shall compute and certify to the State Treasurer | ||||
the total amount of principal of, interest on, and premium, if | ||||
any, on such bonds during the then current and each succeeding |
fiscal year. With respect to the interest payable on variable | ||
rate bonds, such certifications shall be calculated at the | ||
maximum rate of interest that may be payable during the fiscal | ||
year, after taking into account any credits permitted in the | ||
related indenture or other instrument against the amount of | ||
such interest required to be appropriated for the period. | ||
(a) Except as provided for in subsection (b), on or before | ||
the last day of each month, the State Treasurer and State | ||
Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to | ||
the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund an | ||
amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the principal of, | ||
interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds payable on their | ||
next payment date, divided by the number of monthly transfers | ||
occurring between the last previous payment date (or the | ||
delivery date if no payment date has yet occurred) and the next | ||
succeeding payment date. Interest payable on variable rate | ||
bonds shall be calculated at the maximum rate of interest that | ||
may be payable for the relevant period, after taking into | ||
account any credits permitted in the related indenture or other | ||
instrument against the amount of such interest required to be | ||
appropriated for that period. Interest for which moneys have | ||
already been deposited into the capitalized interest account | ||
within the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund | ||
shall not be included in the calculation of the amounts to be | ||
transferred under this subsection.
| ||
(b) On or before the last day of each month, the State |
Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer from the Capital | ||
Projects Fund to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and | ||
Interest Fund an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate of the | ||
principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the bonds | ||
issued prior to January 1, 2012 pursuant to Section 4(d) of the | ||
General Obligation Bond Act payable on their next payment date, | ||
divided by the number of monthly transfers occurring between | ||
the last previous payment date (or the delivery date if no | ||
payment date has yet occurred) and the next succeeding payment | ||
date. If the available balance in the Capital Projects Fund is | ||
not sufficient for the transfer required in this subsection, | ||
the State Treasurer and State Comptroller shall transfer the | ||
difference from the Road Fund to the General Obligation Bond | ||
Retirement and Interest Fund; except that such Road Fund | ||
transfers shall constitute a debt of the Capital Projects Fund | ||
which shall be repaid according to subsection (c). Interest | ||
payable on variable rate bonds shall be calculated at the | ||
maximum rate of interest that may be payable for the relevant | ||
period, after taking into account any credits permitted in the | ||
related indenture or other instrument against the amount of | ||
such interest required to be appropriated for that period. | ||
Interest for which moneys have already been deposited into the | ||
capitalized interest account within the General Obligation | ||
Bond Retirement and Interest Fund shall not be included in the | ||
calculation of the amounts to be transferred under this | ||
subsection. |
(c) On the first day of any month when the Capital Projects | ||
Fund is carrying a debt to the Road Fund due to the provisions | ||
of subsection (b), the State Treasurer and State Comptroller | ||
shall transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the Road Fund | ||
an amount sufficient to discharge that debt. These transfers to | ||
the Road Fund shall continue until the Capital Projects Fund | ||
has repaid to the Road Fund all transfers made from the Road | ||
Fund pursuant to subsection (b). Notwithstanding any other law | ||
to the contrary, transfers to the Road Fund from the Capital | ||
Projects Fund shall be made prior to any other expenditures or | ||
transfers out of the Capital Projects Fund. | ||

Bond with uniform terms and features. This will not only lower
| ||
the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of | ||
issuing debt
by improving the marketability of Illinois General | ||
Obligation Bonds. | ||
