|
|
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. |

financing the long-term capital needs of
the State. This Act |
will permit the issuance of a multi-purpose General
Obligation |
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. |
