Sec. 5h. Cash flow borrowing and general funds liquidity.
(a) In order to meet cash flow deficits and to maintain liquidity in the General Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, and the Common School Fund, on and after July 1, 2010 and through June 30, 2011, the State Treasurer and the State Comptroller shall make transfers to the General Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, or the Common School Fund, as directed by the Governor, out of special funds of the State, to the extent allowed by federal law. No transfer may be made from a fund under this Section that would have the effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be expended for that fiscal year. No such transfer may reduce the cumulative balance of all of the special funds of the State to an amount less than the total debt service payable during the 12 months immediately following the date of the transfer on any bonded indebtedness of the State and any certificates issued under the Short Term Borrowing Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no such transfer may be made from any special fund that is exclusively collected by or appropriated to any other constitutional officer without the written approval of that constitutional officer.
(b) If moneys have been transferred to the General Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, or the Common School Fund pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall constitute the irrevocable and continuing authority for and direction to the State Treasurer and State Comptroller to reimburse the funds of origin from the General Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, or the Common School Fund, as appropriate, by transferring to the funds of origin, at such times and in such amounts as directed by the Governor when necessary to support appropriated expenditures from the funds, an amount equal to that transferred from them plus any interest that would have accrued thereon had the transfer not occurred, except that any moneys transferred pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section shall be repaid to the fund of origin within 18 months after the date on which they were borrowed.
(c) On the first day of each quarterly period in each fiscal year, until such time as a report indicates that all moneys borrowed and interest pursuant to this Section have been repaid, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall provide to the President and the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, and the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability a report on all transfers made pursuant to this Section in the prior quarterly period. The report must be provided in both written and electronic format. The report must include all of the following:
(1) The date each transfer was made.
(2) The amount of each transfer.
(3) In the case of a transfer from the General
Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, or the Common School Fund to a fund of origin pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, the amount of interest being paid to the fund of origin.
(4) The end of day balance of both the fund of
origin and the General Revenue Fund, the Healthcare Provider Relief Fund, or the Common School Fund, whichever the case may be, on the date the transfer was made.
