(30 ILCS 330/1.5) Sec. 1.5. Re-enactment; findings; purpose; validation. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that: (1) Article IV of Public Act 85-1135, effective July 28, 1988, contained provisions amending or creating Sections 2, 3, 16, and 20 of the General Obligation Bond Act, Section 5.242 of the State Finance Act, and Section 4 of the Baccalaureate Savings Act, all of which pertain to State general obligation bonds. These provisions (i) increased the total authorization for State of Illinois general obligation bonds and refunding bonds; (ii) increased the limits on the amount of State general obligation bond proceeds that may be used for various purposes; and (iii) created the General Obligation Bond Rebate Fund, authorized the transfer of money into that Fund, and provided an irrevocable continuing appropriation of amounts necessary to preserve the tax-free status of interest earned by owners of State general obligation bonds. Article IV also contained other provisions. (2) Section 8 of Article III of Public Act 85-1135, effective September 1, 1988, contained provisions amending Sections 2, 4, 11, and 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act. These provisions (i) increased the total authorization for Build Illinois bonds; (ii) increased the limits on the amount of Build Illinois bond proceeds that may be used for public infrastructure purposes; and (iii) amended the Build Illinois bond repayment schedules. (3) In addition, Public Act 85-1135 contained provisions relating to tax reform and creating the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund loan program. (4) On August 26, 1998, the Cook County Circuit Court entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v. Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). However, on December 7, 1998, the Circuit Court granted Defendant's motion to reconsider and dismissed the Plaintiff's Single Subject claim with prejudice. Nevertheless, the Circuit Court did not vacate its August 26, 1998 order declaring P.A. 85-1135 to be in violation of the Single Subject clause of the Illinois Constitution. In addition, the Plaintiffs have appealed the Circuit Court's dismissal of their Single Subject claim. (5) The integrity of the State's contracts and bonds, the protection of bondholders, and the State's continued ability to issue bonds and borrow money are of the greatest importance for the continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of this State. (6) The programs and projects funded with the proceeds of State general obligation bonds and Build Illinois bonds affect many areas of vital concern to the people of this State. The disruption of those programs could constitute a grave threat to the continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of this State. (b) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to prevent or minimize any problems relating to State bonds that may result from challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting the Sections relating to State bonds that were included in Public Act 85-1135; (2) validating all Build Illinois bonds, State general obligation bonds, and refunding bonds issued pursuant to provisions contained in Public Act 85-1135; (3) affirming the State's obligations under those bonds and any contracts relating to them; and (4) validating all actions taken in reliance on the provisions contained in Public Act 85-1135 that relate to those bonds or their proceeds. (c) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Sections 2, 3, 16, and 20 of the General Obligation Bond Act, Section 5.242 of the State Finance Act, Sections 2, 4, 11, and 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act, and Section 4 of the Baccalaureate Savings Act, as they have been amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any question as to the validity or content of those Sections; it is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of a Section as set forth in this amendatory Act. The material is shown as existing text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, the legal challenge to P.A. 85-1135 under the Single Subject clause of the Illinois Constitution was dismissed with prejudice. (d) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of certain Sections relating to State bonds that were enacted or amended by Public Act 85-1135 is not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that P.A. 85-1135 is invalid or to limit or impair any legal argument concerning whether those provisions were substantially re-enacted by other Public Acts. (e) All Build Illinois bonds, State general obligation bonds, and refunding bonds issued before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999 in reliance on or pursuant to the Sections re-enacted by this amendatory Act of 1999, as set forth in Public Act 85-1135 or as subsequently amended, are hereby validated. All obligations of the State arising under or in connection with those bonds are hereby affirmed. (f) All otherwise lawful actions taken before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999 in reliance on or pursuant to the Sections re-enacted by this amendatory Act of 1999, as set forth in Public Act 85-1135 or as subsequently amended, by any officer, employee, or agency of State government or by any other person or entity, are hereby validated. (g) This amendatory Act of 1999 applies, without limitation, to actions pending on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act. (Source: P.A. 91-53, eff. 6-30-99.)

The proceeds of the additional $3,466,000,000 of Bonds authorized by Public Act 96-43, less the amounts directly paid out for bond sale expenses under Section 8, shall be deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund, and the Comptroller and the Treasurer shall, as soon as practical, (i) first, transfer from the Pension Contribution Fund to the General Revenue Fund or Common School Fund an amount equal to the amount of payments, if any, made to the designated retirement systems from the General Revenue Fund or Common School Fund in State fiscal year 2010 and (ii) second, make transfers from the Pension Contribution Fund to the designated retirement systems pursuant to Sections 2-124, 14-131, 15-155, 16-158, and 18-131 of the Illinois Pension Code. The proceeds of the additional $4,096,348,300 of Bonds authorized by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, less the amounts directly paid out for bond sale expenses under Section 8, shall be deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund, and the Comptroller and the Treasurer shall, as soon as practical, (i) first, transfer from the Pension Contribution Fund to the General Revenue Fund or Common School Fund an amount equal to the amount of payments, if any, made to the designated retirement systems from the General Revenue Fund or Common School Fund in State fiscal year 2011 and (ii) second, make transfers from the Pension Contribution Fund to the designated retirement systems pursuant to Sections 2-124, 14-131, 15-155, 16-158, and 18-131 of the Illinois Pension Code. (c) Of the amount of Bond proceeds from the bond sale authorized by Public Act 93-2 first deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund, there shall be reserved for transfers under this subsection the sum of $300,000,000, representing the required State contributions to the designated retirement systems for the last quarter of State fiscal year 2003, plus the sum of $1,860,000,000, representing the required State contributions to the designated retirement systems for State fiscal year 2004. Upon the deposit of sufficient moneys from the bond sale authorized by Public Act 93-2 into the Pension Contribution Fund, the Comptroller and Treasurer shall immediately transfer the sum of $300,000,000 from the Pension Contribution Fund to the General Revenue Fund. Whenever any payment of required State contributions for State fiscal year 2004 is made to one of the designated retirement systems, the Comptroller and Treasurer shall, as soon as practicable, transfer from the Pension Contribution Fund to the General Revenue Fund an amount equal to the amount of that payment to the designated retirement system. Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, the transfers from the Pension Contribution Fund to the General Revenue Fund shall be suspended until June 30, 2004, and the remaining balance in the Pension Contribution Fund shall be transferred directly to the designated retirement systems as provided in Section 6z-61 of the State Finance Act. On and after July 1, 2004, in the event that any amount is on deposit in the Pension Contribution Fund from time to time, the Comptroller and Treasurer shall continue to make such transfers based on fiscal year 2005 payments until the entire amount on deposit has been transferred. (d) All amounts deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund, other than the amounts reserved for the transfers under subsection (c) from the bond sale authorized by Public Act 93-2, other than amounts deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund from the bond sale authorized by Public Act 96-43 and other than amounts deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund from the bond sale authorized by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, shall be appropriated to the designated retirement systems to reduce their actuarial reserve deficiencies. The amount of the appropriation to each designated retirement system shall constitute a portion of the total appropriation under this subsection that is the same as that retirement system's portion of the total actuarial reserve deficiency of the systems, as most recently determined by the Governor's Office of Management and Budget under Section 8.12 of the State Finance Act. With respect to proceeds from the bond sale authorized by Public Act 93-2 only, within 15 days after any Bond proceeds in excess of the amounts initially reserved under subsection (c) are deposited into the Pension Contribution Fund, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall (i) allocate those proceeds among the designated retirement systems in proportion to their respective actuarial reserve deficiencies, as most recently determined under Section 8.12 of the State Finance Act, and (ii) certify those allocations to the designated retirement systems and the Comptroller. Upon receiving certification of an allocation under this subsection, a designated retirement system shall submit to the Comptroller a voucher for the amount of its allocation. The voucher shall be paid out of the amount appropriated to that designated retirement system from the Pension Contribution Fund pursuant to this subsection.

(30 ILCS 330/8) (from Ch. 127, par. 658) Sec. 8. Bond sale expenses. (a) An amount not to exceed 0.5 percent of the principal amount of the proceeds of sale of each bond sale is authorized to be used to pay the reasonable costs of each issuance and sale of State of Illinois general obligation bonds authorized and sold pursuant to this Act, including, without limitation, underwriter's discounts and fees, but excluding bond insurance; provided that no salaries of State employees or other State office operating expenses shall be paid out of non-appropriated proceeds, and provided further that the percent shall be 1.0% for each sale of "Build America Bonds" or "Qualified School Construction Bonds" as defined in subsections (d) and (e) of Section 9, respectively. The Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall compile a summary of all costs of issuance on each sale (including both costs paid out of proceeds and those paid out of appropriated funds) and post that summary on its web site within 20 business days after the issuance of the Bonds. The summary shall include, as applicable, the respective percentages of participation and compensation of each underwriter that is a member of the underwriting syndicate, legal counsel, financial advisors, and other professionals for the bond issue and an identification of all costs of issuance paid to minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and businesses owned by persons with disabilities. The terms "minority-owned businesses", "women-owned businesses", and "business owned by a person with a disability" have the meanings given to those terms in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act. The summary shall be posted on the web site for a period of at least 30 days. In addition, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall provide a written copy of each summary of costs to the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, the President and Minority Leader of the Senate, and the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability within 20 business days after each issuance of the Bonds. In addition, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall provide copies of all contracts under which any costs of issuance are paid or to be paid to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability within 20 business days after the issuance of Bonds for which those costs are paid or to be paid. Instead of filing a second or subsequent copy of the same contract, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget may file a statement that specified costs are paid under specified contracts filed earlier with the Commission. (b) The Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall not, in connection with the issuance of Bonds, contract with any underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney unless that underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney certifies that the underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney has not and will not pay a contingent fee, whether directly or indirectly, to a third party for having promoted the selection of the underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney for that contract. In the event that the Governor's Office of Management and Budget determines that an underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney has filed a false certification with respect to the payment of contingent fees, the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall not contract with that underwriter, financial advisor, or attorney, or with any firm employing any person who signed false certifications, for a period of 2 calendar years, beginning with the date the determination is made.

30 ILCS 330/9
(30 ILCS 330/9) (from Ch. 127, par. 659) Sec. 9. Conditions for issuance and sale of Bonds; requirements for Bonds. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, subsection (h), and subsection (i), Bonds shall be issued and sold from time to time, in one or more series, in such amounts and at such prices as may be directed by the Governor, upon recommendation by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget. Bonds shall be in such form (either coupon, registered or book entry), in such denominations, payable within 25 years from their date, subject to such terms of redemption with or without premium, bear interest payable at such times and at such fixed or variable rate or rates, and be dated as shall be fixed and determined by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget in the order authorizing the issuance and sale of any series of Bonds, which order shall be approved by the Governor and is herein called a "Bond Sale Order"; provided however, that interest payable at fixed or variable rates shall not exceed that permitted in the Bond Authorization Act, as now or hereafter amended. Bonds shall be payable at such place or places, within or without the State of Illinois, and may be made registrable as to either principal or as to both principal and interest, as shall be specified in the Bond Sale Order. Bonds may be callable or subject to purchase and retirement or tender and remarketing as fixed and determined in the Bond Sale Order. Bonds, other than Bonds issued under Section 3 of this Act for the costs associated with the purchase and implementation of information technology, (i) except for refunding Bonds satisfying the requirements of Section 16 of this Act must be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts in equal amounts, with the first maturity issued occurring within the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued or within the next succeeding fiscal year, except that Bonds issued during fiscal years 2025 and 2026 may be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts in unequal amounts, and (ii) must mature or be subject to mandatory redemption each fiscal year thereafter up to 25 years, except for refunding Bonds satisfying the requirements of Section 16 of this Act and sold during fiscal year 2009, 2010, or 2011 which must mature or be subject to mandatory redemption each fiscal year thereafter up to 16 years. Bonds issued under Section 3 of this Act for the costs associated with the purchase and implementation of information technology must be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts in equal amounts, with the first maturity issued occurring with the fiscal year in which the respective bonds are issued or with the next succeeding fiscal year, with the respective bonds issued maturing or subject to mandatory redemption each fiscal year thereafter up to 10 years, except that Bonds issued during fiscal years 2025 and 2026 may be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts in unequal amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, the Bonds authorized by Public Act 96-43 shall be payable within 5 years from their date and must be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts in equal amounts, with payment of principal or mandatory redemption beginning in the first fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Bonds are issued. Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, the Bonds authorized by Public Act 96-1497 shall be payable within 8 years from their date and shall be issued with payment of maturing principal or scheduled mandatory redemptions in accordance with the following schedule, except the following amounts shall be prorated if less than the total additional amount of Bonds authorized by Public Act 96-1497 are issued: Fiscal Year After Issuance Amount 1-2 $0 3 $110,712,120 4 $332,136,360 5 $664,272,720 6-8 $996,409,080 Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the contrary, Income Tax Proceed Bonds issued under Section 7.6 shall be payable 12 years from the date of sale and shall be issued with payment of principal or mandatory redemption. In the case of any series of Bonds bearing interest at a variable interest rate ("Variable Rate Bonds"), in lieu of determining the rate or rates at which such series of Variable Rate Bonds shall bear interest and the price or prices at which such Variable Rate Bonds shall be initially sold or remarketed (in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary from time to time depending on criteria established in such Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without limitation, references to indices or variations in interest rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be necessary to cause Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their principal amount, and may provide for appointment of a bank, trust company, investment bank, or other financial institution to serve as remarketing agent in that connection. The Bond Sale Order may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions for establishing alternative interest rates, different security or claim priorities, or different call or amortization provisions will apply during such times as Variable Rate Bonds of any series are held by a person providing credit or liquidity enhancement arrangements for such Bonds as authorized in subsection (b) of this Section. The Bond Sale Order may also provide for such variable interest rates to be established pursuant to a process generally known as an auction rate process and may provide for appointment of one or more financial institutions to serve as auction agents and broker-dealers in connection with the establishment of such interest rates and the sale and remarketing of such Bonds. (b) In connection with the issuance of any series of Bonds, the State may enter into arrangements to provide additional security and liquidity for such Bonds, including, without limitation, bond or interest rate insurance or letters of credit, lines of credit, bond purchase contracts, or other arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds would bear in the absence of such arrangements. The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with respect to interest rate protection or exchange agreements, guarantees, or financial futures contracts for the purpose of limiting, reducing, or managing interest rate exposure. The authority granted under this paragraph, however, shall not increase the principal amount of Bonds authorized to be issued by law. The arrangements may be executed and delivered by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget on behalf of the State. Net payments for such arrangements shall constitute interest on the Bonds and shall be paid from the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund. The Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall at least annually certify to the Governor and the State Comptroller his or her estimate of the amounts of such net payments to be included in the calculation of interest required to be paid by the State. (c) Prior to the issuance of any Variable Rate Bonds pursuant to subsection (a), the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed 20%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget but in no event shall any amendment cause the permitted level of the State's variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds to exceed 20%. (d) "Build America Bonds" in this Section means Bonds authorized by Section 54AA of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Internal Revenue Code"), and bonds issued from time to time to refund or continue to refund "Build America Bonds". (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Qualified School Construction Bonds shall be issued and sold from time to time, in one or more series, in such amounts and at such prices as may be directed by the Governor, upon recommendation by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget. Qualified School Construction Bonds shall be in such form (either coupon, registered or book entry), in such denominations, payable within 25 years from their date, subject to such terms of redemption with or without premium, and if the Qualified School Construction Bonds are issued with a supplemental coupon, bear interest payable at such times and at such fixed or variable rate or rates, and be dated as shall be fixed and determined by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget in the order authorizing the issuance and sale of any series of Qualified School Construction Bonds, which order shall be approved by the Governor and is herein called a "Bond Sale Order"; except that interest payable at fixed or variable rates, if any, shall not exceed that permitted in the Bond Authorization Act, as now or hereafter amended. Qualified School Construction Bonds shall be payable at such place or places, within or without the State of Illinois, and may be made registrable as to either principal or as to both principal and interest, as shall be specified in the Bond Sale Order. Qualified School Construction Bonds may be callable or subject to purchase and retirement or tender and remarketing as fixed and determined in the Bond Sale Order. Qualified School Construction Bonds must be issued with principal or mandatory redemption amounts or sinking fund payments into the General Obligation Bond Retirement and Interest Fund (or subaccount therefor) in equal amounts, with the first maturity issued, mandatory redemption payment or sinking fund payment occurring within the fiscal year in which the Qualified School Construction Bonds are issued or within the next succeeding fiscal year, with Qualified School Construction Bonds issued maturing or subject to mandatory redemption or with sinking fund payments thereof deposited each fiscal year thereafter up to 25 years. Sinking fund payments set forth in this subsection shall be permitted only to the extent authorized in Section 54F of the Internal Revenue Code or as otherwise determined by the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget. "Qualified School Construction Bonds" in this subsection means Bonds authorized by Section 54F of the Internal Revenue Code and for bonds issued from time to time to refund or continue to refund such "Qualified School Construction Bonds". (f) Beginning with the next issuance by the Governor's Office of Management and Budget of a request for qualifications for the purpose of formulating a new pool of qualified underwriters, all entities responding to such a request for qualifications for inclusion on that list shall provide a written report to the Governor's Office of Management and Budget and the Illinois Comptroller.

With respect to the interest payable, such certifications 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.

Such computations and transfers shall be made for each series of Bonds issued and delivered. 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 such period pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 14 of this Act.
