1 | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The Illinois State treasury holds many special | ||||||
3 | funds that have been created to hold moneys dedicated for | ||||||
4 | particular purposes; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, Some of those special funds are dedicated for | ||||||
6 | various purposes concerning veterans; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, In the recent past, the General Assembly has taken | ||||||
8 | action to "sweep" moneys from certain dedicated special funds | ||||||
9 | into the General Revenue Fund or other funds so that those | ||||||
10 | moneys may be used for other purposes unrelated to the purposes | ||||||
11 | for which the special funds were created; and
| ||||||
12 | WHEREAS, These "fund sweeps" result in less money being | ||||||
13 | available for the purposes for which the special funds were | ||||||
14 | created and have a significant negative impact on Illinois | ||||||
15 | residents who would otherwise benefit from services funded by | ||||||
16 | the moneys held in those special funds; and
| ||||||
17 | WHEREAS, "Fund sweeps" from special funds dedicated for | ||||||
18 | various purposes concerning veterans, or any other similar | ||||||
19 | budgetary maneuvers, will negatively impact those who have made | ||||||
20 | great sacrifices to preserve the freedoms we enjoy in Illinois | ||||||
21 | and the United States; therefore, be it
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
2 | NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE | ||||||
3 | SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that special funds in the State | ||||||
4 | treasury that are dedicated for purposes concerning veterans | ||||||
5 | shall not be subject to sweeps, administrative charge-backs, | ||||||
6 | including, but not limited to, those authorized under Section | ||||||
7 | 8h of the State Finance Act, or any other fiscal or budgetary | ||||||
8 | maneuver that would in any way transfer any funds from such | ||||||
9 | special funds into any other fund of the State.
