HOUSE RESOLUTION 706
WHEREAS, In accordance with subsection (b) of Section 2 of
Article VIII of the Illinois Constitution, the House of
Representatives has adopted House Resolution 707 setting forth
the estimates of general funds the House expects to be
available during State fiscal year 2013; and
WHEREAS, The House of Representatives has found that
$33,719,000,000 is available in general funds for spending and
for the payment of unpaid State obligations; and
WHEREAS, Before the House makes allocations to the
appropriation committees there are non-discretionary general
funds spending items that should first be deducted; therefore
be it
RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
NINETY-SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
the non-discretionary items shall be:
Pensions - $5,100,000,000

HR0706 Enrolled - 2 - LRB097 17147 PJG 62345 r
For the backlog of unpaid State obligations from the
Medicaid program, with 50% of this amount being provided from
Federal reimbursements - $1,000,000,000
For the backlog of unpaid State obligations not related to
the Medicaid program - $300,000,000; and be it further
RESOLVED, That after spending for these non-discretionary
items, of the general funds revenues that are estimated by the
House of Representatives, by resolution, to be available during
State fiscal year 2013 and that are allocated to the House
appropriation committees for appropriation, the amount and
percentage available to each appropriation committee, assuming
the allowance of an overall appropriation lapse of
$650,000,000, are as follows:
APPROPRIATIONS-ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY EDUCATION -
$6,491,836,794, or 39.830%

HR0706 Enrolled - 3 - LRB097 17147 PJG 62345 r
each appropriation committee are contingent upon actions being
taken to reduce the accrual of Medicaid obligations incurred
during State fiscal year 2013 in the amount of $2,700,000,000,
and if this reduction is not achieved in full, then the amount
deducted for the Medicaid program must be increased
accordingly, and the amounts available to each appropriation
committee must be reduced accordingly; and be it further
RESOLVED, That if the actual amount of general funds that
become available during State fiscal year 2013 exceeds the
House's estimates set forth in House Resolution 707, then that
excess shall first be used to reduce the backlog of unpaid
State obligations to the extent authorized by law, with the
Comptroller prioritizing voucher payments for Medicaid
obligations and any other obligations for which the State
receives federal reimbursement.
