Bond Fund.

Section 7.8 as follows:
(30 ILCS 330/2) (from Ch. 127, par. 652)
Sec. 2. Authorization for Bonds. The State of Illinois is
authorized to issue, sell and provide for the retirement of
General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois for the
categories and specific purposes expressed in Sections 2
through 8 of this Act, in the total amount of $177,732,925,743
$57,717,925,743.
The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section 16 of
this Act are herein called "Bonds".
Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to

SB0178 - 2 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
$2,200,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
issued and sold in accordance with the Baccalaureate Savings
Act in the form of General Obligation College Savings Bonds.
Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
$300,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
issued and sold in accordance with the Retirement Savings Act
in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, the
additional $10,000,000,000 authorized by Public Act 93-2, the
$3,466,000,000 authorized by Public Act 96-43, and the

Obligation Bonds.

Sec. 7.8. State Serial Long Term Pension Obligation Bonds.

of the 101st General Assembly and used for the purposes set

of each individual Fund to a 90% level. Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, each retirement system under Article
14, 15, or 16 of the Illinois Pension Code shall establish a
designated investment fund for 36% of the bond proceeds it
receives from any bond issuance authorized by this amendatory
Act of the 101st General Assembly. The designated investment
fund shall be used solely for the purposes of taking advantage
of interest arbitrage from the bond proceeds and for making
debt service contributions related to the bonds issued under
this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
(30 ILCS 330/9) (from Ch. 127, par. 659)
Sec. 9. Conditions for issuance and sale of Bonds;

(i), Bonds shall be issued and sold from time to time, in one

SB0178 - 6 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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 and sold during fiscal year 2009, 2010, 2011, 2017,
2018, or 2019 must be issued with principal or mandatory

SB0178 - 7 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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 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. 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

SB0178 - 8 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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

SB0178 - 9 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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

SB0178 - 10 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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

SB0178 - 11 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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

SB0178 - 12 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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

SB0178 - 13 - LRB101 05046 HLH 50056 b
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".
