| 1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||||
| 5 | 6-1001 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (55 ILCS 5/6-1001) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-1001)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 6-1001. Annual budget. In all counties not required by | ||||||
| 8 | law
to pass an annual appropriation bill within the first | ||||||
| 9 | quarter of the fiscal
year, the county board or board of county | ||||||
| 10 | commissioners, as the case may
be, shall adopt each year an | ||||||
| 11 | annual budget under the terms of this Division
for the | ||||||
| 12 | succeeding fiscal year. Such budget shall be prepared by some
| ||||||
| 13 | person or persons designated by the county board and such | ||||||
| 14 | budget shall be
made conveniently available to public | ||||||
| 15 | inspection for at least fifteen days
prior to final action | ||||||
| 16 | thereon. After being made available to the public and at least | ||||||
| 17 | 10 days prior to the final action, the county board or county | ||||||
| 18 | board of commissioners shall hold a public hearing regarding | ||||||
| 19 | the budget. The vote on such budget shall be taken by
ayes and | ||||||
| 20 | nays and entered on the record of the meeting. The annual | ||||||
| 21 | budget
adopted under this Act shall cover such a fiscal period | ||||||
| 22 | of one year to be
determined by the county board of each county | ||||||
| 23 | except as hereinafter
provided and all appropriations made | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | therein shall terminate with the close
of said fiscal period | ||||||
| 2 | except as hereinafter provided, provided, however,
that any | ||||||
| 3 | remaining balances shall be available until 30 days after the
| ||||||
| 4 | close of the fiscal year in counties with a population of less
| ||||||
| 5 | than
100,000, and until 90 days after the close of the fiscal | ||||||
| 6 | year in
counties
with a population of more than 100,000 but | ||||||
| 7 | less than 3,000,000 inhabitants,
only for the authorization of | ||||||
| 8 | the payment of
obligations incurred prior to the close of said | ||||||
| 9 | fiscal period. Any county
which determines to change its fiscal | ||||||
| 10 | year may adopt a budget to cover such
period greater or less | ||||||
| 11 | than a year as may be necessary to effect such
change and | ||||||
| 12 | appropriations made therein shall terminate with the close
of | ||||||
| 13 | such period.
