Illinois Code § 14

§ 14.

Repayment. (a) To provide for the manner of repayment of Bonds, the Governor shall include an appropriation in each annual State Budget of monies in such amount as shall be necessary and sufficient, for the period covered by such budget, to pay the interest, as it shall accrue, on all Bonds issued under this Act, to pay and discharge the principal of such Bonds as shall, by their terms, fall due during such period, to pay a premium, if any, on Bonds to be redeemed prior to the maturity date, and to pay sinking fund payments in connection with Qualified School Construction Bonds authorized by subsection (e) of Section 9. Amounts included in such appropriations for the payment of interest on variable rate bonds shall be the maximum amounts of interest that may be payable for the period covered by the budget, 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 such period. Amounts included in such appropriations for the payment of interest shall include the amounts certified by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget under subsection (b) of Section 9 of this Act. (b) A separate fund in the State Treasury called the "General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund" is hereby created. (c) The General Assembly shall annually make appropriations to pay the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on Bonds sold under this Act from the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund. Amounts included in such appropriations for the payment of interest on variable rate bonds shall be the maximum amounts 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 such period. Amounts included in such appropriations for the payment of interest shall include the amounts certified by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget under subsection (b) of Section 9 of this Act. If for any reason there are insufficient funds in either the General Revenue Fund or the Road Fund to make transfers to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund as required by Section 15 of this Act, or if for any reason the General Assembly fails to make appropriations sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, on the Bonds, as the same by their terms shall become due, this Act shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing appropriation of all amounts necessary for that purpose, and the irrevocable and continuing authority for and direction to the State Treasurer and the Comptroller to make the necessary transfers, as directed by the Governor, out of and disbursements from the revenues and funds of the State. (d) If, because of insufficient funds in either the General Revenue Fund or the Road Fund, monies have been transferred to the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund, as required by subsection (c) of this Section, this Act shall constitute the irrevocable and continuing authority for and direction to the State Treasurer and Comptroller to reimburse these funds of the State from the General Revenue Fund or the Road Fund, as appropriate, by transferring, at such times and in such amounts, as directed by the Governor, an amount to these funds equal to that transferred from them.
