  • 30 ILCS 105/13.6

    Sec. 13.6. Additional requirements for appropriations. (a) As used in this Section: "Appropriations" means appropriations for objects and purposes as classified and standardized under Section 13 of this Act and any other lump sum or other appropriation, other than capital appropriations, contained in any bill filed in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Act. "Fund type" means general funds, as defined under Section 50-40 of the State Budget Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois, other State funds, or federal funds. "Material change" means a change that increases or decreases an appropriation being made to a State agency. "State agency" or "agency" means all departments, officers, authorities, public corporations and quasi-public corporations, commissions, boards, institutions, State colleges and universities, and all other public agencies created by the State, including agencies of the judicial branch, but not including units of local government and school districts. (b) On and after July 1, 2026, amendments to bills filed with the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk of the House of Representatives that contain appropriations for more than one State agency for the current year or budget year shall be accompanied by supplemental documentation at the time of the filing of the amendment that includes, at a minimum, both of the following: (1) An itemization of all proposed appropriation changes in the amendment by line item, fund type, and State agency when compared with an appropriations bill introduced in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Act for the same current or budget year. The information shall be presented in a format similar to the table of operating appropriations by program included in the budget submitted by the Governor under Section 50-10 of the State Budget Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois for that budget year. State agency appropriation line items that fall under the classifications listed in paragraphs (1) through (14) and (16) through (18) of Section 13 may be combined by each classification for each State agency. If line items are combined, the itemization for that classification for a State agency shall include all line items for that classification and fund type for the agency regardless of whether those line items have changed. The itemization under this paragraph shall also include a comparison of the proposed appropriation changes in the amendment to the current year enacted appropriation. (2) An itemized summary of the total amount proposed to be appropriated for each State agency with appropriation changes required to be included under paragraph (1) when compared to an appropriations bill introduced in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Act for the same current or budget year and the current year enacted appropriation, including subtotals for general funds, other State funds, and federal funds, regardless of whether any of the fund type subtotals remain unchanged from the introduced appropriations bill. The information shall be presented in a format similar to the table of operating appropriations by agency, as included in the budget submitted by the Governor under Section 50-10 of the State Budget Law for that budget year. (c) If an amendment is filed to a bill and it does not materially change the amounts proposed to be appropriated in the current year or budget year as recommended by the Governor to the General Assembly pursuant to Section 50-5 of the State Budget Law or introduced in bills in accordance with Section 13.4 of this Act, then the amendment does not need to be accompanied by the supplemental documentation required under this Section. (d) The Legislative Information System shall ensure that the supplemental documents described in subsection (b) are posted publicly on the General Assembly's website at the time the amendment is filed.

    This establishes a new requirement for amendments relating to appropriations for multiple State agencies to include specific supplemental documentation.
