AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 345
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 345 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The General Obligation Bond Act is amended by
changing Sections 2, 2.5, 9, 11, 12, and 13 and by adding
Section 7.6 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 $48,236,125,743
$41,314,125,743 $41,379,777,443.
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

09700SB0345sam001 - 2 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
$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
$4,096,348,300 authorized by Public Act 96-1497 this
amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly shall be used
solely as provided in Section 7.2.
Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act,
$2,760,000,000 of the additional amount of Bonds authorized by
this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall be used
solely as provided in Section 7.6 and shall be issued by
September 1, 2011.
The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method of
financing the long-term capital needs of the State. This Act
will permit the issuance of a multi-purpose General Obligation
Bond with uniform terms and features. This will not only lower
the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of
issuing debt by improving the marketability of Illinois General
Obligation Bonds.

pursuant to authorized by Public Act 96-43, and (iii) other
than Bonds issued pursuant to Public Act 96-1497 authorized by

(which consist of the General Revenue Fund, the Common School
Fund, the General Revenue Common School Special Account Fund,
and the Education Assistance Fund) and the Road Fund for the
fiscal year immediately prior to the fiscal year of the
issuance.
(b) If the Comptroller and Treasurer each consent in
writing, Bonds may be issued even if the issuance does not

Act of the 97th General Assembly authorizing the issuance of
State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds and (ii) used for
the payment of unpaid obligations of the State as incurred from

Bonds authorized in subsection (b) of this Section, less the
amounts authorized in the Bond Sale Order to be deposited

09700SB0345sam001 - 5 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
be deposited into the General Revenue Fund, and the Comptroller
and the Treasurer shall, as soon as practical, make such

(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 and
subsection (h), 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

09700SB0345sam001 - 6 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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, or 2011, 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 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

09700SB0345sam001 - 7 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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 this amendatory Act
of the 96th General Assembly 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 this amendatory Act of the
96th General Assembly 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,
State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds shall be payable
within 7 years from the date of sale and shall be issued with
payment of principal or mandatory redemption as set forth in
subsection (h) of this Section.
In the case of any series of Bonds bearing interest at a

09700SB0345sam001 - 8 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 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

09700SB0345sam001 - 9 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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

09700SB0345sam001 - 10 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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

09700SB0345sam001 - 11 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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

09700SB0345sam001 - 12 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
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".

Office of Management and Budget to the Procurement Policy Board

Governor, upon recommendation by the Director of the Governor's

09700SB0345sam001 - 16 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a

registered or book entry, in such denominations, shall 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

State General Obligation Restructuring 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. State General
Obligation Restructuring Bonds shall be payable at such place
or places, within or without the State of Illinois, and may be

State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds may be callable or
subject to purchase and retirement or tender and remarketing as

The aggregate principal amount of State General Obligation
Restructuring Bonds authorized by and issued pursuant to this
amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly or other such
amendatory Acts of the 97th General Assembly authorizing the
issuance of State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds
shall, in the aggregate, mature or be subject to redemption in
the annual percentages set forth in the following schedule:

For fiscal year 2018, 15.000%; and
For fiscal year 2019, 16.083%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal amounts
calculated above shall be in increments of $5,000. Moreover,
the foregoing percentages shall be applicable to the aggregate
principal amount of State General Obligation Restructuring
Bonds authorized by this amendatory Act of the 97th General
Assembly and any other amendatory Acts of the 97th General
Assembly authorizing State General Obligation Restructuring
Bonds. While individual series of State General Obligation

be scheduled to mature or be subject to redemption in
accordance with the percentages above, redemptions whether by
maturity or sinking fund, in any fiscal year for all State
General Obligation Restructuring Bonds, in the aggregate,
shall be no less than the percentages shown above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that fewer than all
of the State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds authorized

State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds to satisfy the

Sec. 11. Sale of Bonds. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section, Bonds shall be sold from time to time pursuant to
notice of sale and public bid or by negotiated sale in such
amounts and at such times as is directed by the Governor, upon
recommendation by the Director of the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget. At least 25%, based on total principal
amount, of all Bonds issued each fiscal year shall be sold
pursuant to notice of sale and public bid. At all times during
each fiscal year, no more than 75%, based on total principal
amount, of the Bonds issued each fiscal year, shall have been
sold by negotiated sale. Failure to satisfy the requirements in
the preceding 2 sentences shall not affect the validity of any
previously issued Bonds; provided that all Bonds authorized by
Public Act 96-43 and Public Act 96-1497 this amendatory Act of
the 96th General Assembly shall not be included in determining
compliance for any fiscal year with the requirements of the
preceding 2 sentences; and further provided that refunding
Bonds satisfying the requirements of Section 16 of this Act and
sold during fiscal year 2009, 2010, or 2011 shall not be

09700SB0345sam001 - 19 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
subject to the requirements in the preceding 2 sentences.
If any Bonds, including refunding Bonds, are to be sold by
negotiated sale, the Director of the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget shall comply with the competitive request
for proposal process set forth in the Illinois Procurement Code
and all other applicable requirements of that Code.
If Bonds are to be sold pursuant to notice of sale and
public bid, the Director of the Governor's Office of Management
and Budget shall, from time to time, as Bonds are to be sold,
advertise the sale of the Bonds in at least 2 daily newspapers,
one of which is published in the City of Springfield and one in
the City of Chicago. The sale of the Bonds shall also be
advertised in the volume of the Illinois Procurement Bulletin
that is published by the Department of Central Management
Services. Each of the advertisements for proposals shall be
published once at least 10 days prior to the date fixed for the
opening of the bids. The Director of the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget may reschedule the date of sale upon the
giving of such additional notice as the Director deems adequate
to inform prospective bidders of such change; provided,
however, that all other conditions of the sale shall continue
as originally advertised.
Executed Bonds shall, upon payment therefor, be delivered
to the purchaser, and the proceeds of Bonds shall be paid into
the State Treasury as directed by Section 12 of this Act.
All State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds shall

09700SB0345sam001 - 20 - LRB097 04138 PJG 56063 a
comply with this Section. Notwithstanding anything to
contrary, however, for purposes of complying with this Section,
State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds, regardless of
the number of series or issuances sold thereunder, shall be
considered a single issue or series. Furthermore, for purposes
of complying with the competitive bidding requirements of this
Section, the words "at all times" shall not apply to any such
sale of the State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds. The
Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
shall determine the time and manner of any competitive sale of
the State General Obligation Restructuring Bonds, which such
sale shall under no circumstances take place later than 60 days
after the State closes the sale of 75% of the State General
Obligation Restructuring Bonds by negotiated sale.
