Illinois Code § 3

§ 3.

The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability shall prepare a written State Debt Impact Note in relation to any bill introduced in either house of the General Assembly which proposes to increase or add new long term debt authorization or would require, through appropriation, the use of bond financed funds. Upon the assignment of any such bill to Committee, the chairperson of the Committee on Assignments in the House of Representatives or the chairperson of the Committee on Assignment of Bills in the Senate shall forward the bill to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability which shall prepare such a note within 7 calendar days after receiving the request and the bill shall be held on second reading until the note has been received, except that whenever, because of the complexity of the measure, additional time is required for preparation of the note, the Commission may so inform the sponsor of the bill, who may approve an extension of the time within which the note is to be furnished for an additional 7 calendar days. Copies of each State Debt Impact Note shall be furnished by the Commission to the presiding officer of each house, the minority leader of each house, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of the Senate, the sponsor of the bill which is the subject of the note, the member, if any, who initiated the request for the note, the Chairperson and Minority Spokespersons of the House and Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committees.
