If the Comptroller and Treasurer advise the General Assembly that they concur in the Governor's declaration, then by a record vote of three-fifths of the members elected to each house, the General Assembly, by law conditioned upon the approval of a majority of voters in the next general, primary, or special election, may authorize increased appropriations and transfers in a specific dollar amount that is no more than the increased amount requested by the Governor in the declaration. "Emergency" means extraordinary circumstances outside the control of the General Assembly, including catastrophic events, such as a natural disaster, terrorism, fire, war, and riot, and court orders or decrees.

The General Assembly may authorize transfers, appropriations, and allocations from the fund only to fund the costs of State government up to the expenditure limit calculated by law in years when State revenues are less than the amount necessary to finance the level of expenditures permitted by law. Transfers require a three-fifths supermajority vote of the General Assembly. The money in the fund may be invested as provided by law, with the earnings credited to the fund. At the close of every month during which the fund is at the 8% limitation, the State Comptroller shall transfer the excess to the Taxpayer Relief Fund. 09700102.doc 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 97th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 102nd Legislative Day 2/16/2012 (g)The Taxpayer Relief Fund is established as a special fund in the State treasury and must be administered for the purposes identified in this Section.

If the General Assembly does not enact legislation by September 15th to provide refunds, then the State Comptroller shall, by September 30th, notify the Department of Revenue of the amount in the fund. The Department of Revenue shall calculate a one-time bonus personal exemption refund. The amount of the personal exemption refund must be calculated by dividing the amount in the fund identified by the State Comptroller by the number of personal exemptions claimed on income tax returns filed for tax year beginning in the previous calendar year.
