(a) Any transferring unit which receives revenues, taxes,

prohibited by any applicable statute, regulation, rule, or
grant agreement governing the use of such revenues, taxes, or
grant funds) authorize, by ordinance, the conveyance of all or

09900SB0393sam001 - 3 - LRB099 03112 HLH 52293 a
any portion of such revenues, taxes, or grant funds to an
issuing entity. Any conveyance of transferred receipts shall:
(i) be made pursuant to an assignment agreement in exchange for
the net proceeds of obligations issued by the issuing entity
for the benefit of the transferring unit and shall, for all
purposes, constitute an absolute conveyance of all right,
title, and interest therein; (ii) not be deemed a pledge or
other security interest for any borrowing by the transferring
unit; (iii) be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance
with the terms thereof and of any related instrument,
agreement, or other arrangement, including any pledge, grant of
security interest, or other encumbrance made by the issuing
entity to secure any obligations issued by the issuing entity
for the benefit of the transferring unit; and (iv) not be
subject to disavowal, disaffirmance, cancellation, or
avoidance by reason of insolvency of any party, lack of
consideration, or any other fact, occurrence, or State law or
rule. On and after the effective date of the conveyance of the
transferred receipts, the transferring unit shall have no
right, title or interest in or to the transferred receipts
conveyed and the transferred receipts so conveyed shall be the
property of the issuing entity to the extent necessary to pay
the obligations issued by the issuing entity for the benefit of
the transferring unit, and shall be received, held, and
disbursed by the issuing entity in a trust fund outside the
treasury of the transferring unit. An assignment agreement may

09900SB0393sam001 - 4 - LRB099 03112 HLH 52293 a
provide for the periodic reconveyance to the transferring unit
of amounts of transferred receipts remaining after the payment
of the obligations issued by the issuing entity for the benefit
of the transferring unit.
(b) In connection with any conveyance of transferred
receipts, the transferring unit is authorized to direct the
applicable State entity to deposit or cause to be deposited any
amount of such transferred receipts into a deposit account in
order to secure the obligations issued by the issuing entity
for the benefit of the transferring unit. Where the
transferring unit states that such direction is irrevocable,
the direction shall be treated by the applicable State entity
as irrevocable with respect to the transferred receipts
described in such direction. Each State entity shall comply
with the terms of any such direction received from a
transferring unit and shall execute and deliver such
acknowledgments and agreements, including escrow and similar
agreements, as the transferring unit may require to effectuate
the deposit of transferred receipts in accordance with the
direction of the transferring unit.
(c) Not later than the date of issuance by an issuing
entity of any obligations secured by collections of transferred
receipts, a certified copy of the ordinance authorizing the
conveyance of the right to receive the transferred receipts,
together with executed copies of the applicable assignment
agreement and the agreement providing for the establishment of

09900SB0393sam001 - 5 - LRB099 03112 HLH 52293 a

having custody of the transferred receipts.
(65 ILCS 5/8-13-15 new)
Sec. 8-13-15. Pledges and agreements of the State. The
State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with each transferring
unit and issuing unit that the State will not limit or alter
the rights and powers vested in the State entities by this
Article with respect to the disposition of transferred receipts
so as to impair the terms of any contract, including any
assignment agreement, made by the transferring unit with the
issuing entity or any contract executed by the issuing entity
in connection with the issuance of obligations by the issuing
entity for the benefit of the transferring unit until all
requirements with respect to the deposit by such State entity
of transferred receipts for the benefit of such issuing entity
have been fully met and discharged. In addition, the State
pledges to and agrees with each transferring unit and each
issuing entity that the State will not limit or alter the basis
on which transferred receipts are to be paid to the issuing
entity as provided in this Article, or the use of such funds,
so as to impair the terms of any such contract. Each
transferring unit and issuing entity is authorized to include
these pledges and agreements of the State in any contract
executed and delivered as described in this Article. In no way
shall the pledge and agreements of the State be interpreted to

09900SB0393sam001 - 6 - LRB099 03112 HLH 52293 a
construe the State as a guarantor of any debt or obligation
subject to an assignment agreement under this Division.
(65 ILCS 5/8-13-20 new)

receipts or enter into assignment agreements in a manner

home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
