CONAMEND-LIMIT APPROP/TRANSFER
Summary
Proposes to amend the Finance Article of the Illinois Constitution. Limits aggregate appropriations and transfers from the State's general funds in a fiscal year to the aggregate appropriations and transfers in the previous fiscal year, as adjusted by the 5-year average annual change in per capita personal income. Allows the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and the General Assembly, by a three-fifths vote, to exceed the limitation. Requires excess revenues to be deposited into budget stabilization funds, and allows certain excess funds to be refunded. Effective upon being declared adopted.
