The 9 Audit Expense Fund may receive transfers from those trust 10 funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the 11 terms of the trust fund agreement. The Auditor General shall 12 notify the trustees of those funds of the estimated cost of the 13 audit to be incurred under the Illinois State Auditing Act for 14 the fund. The trustees of those funds shall direct the State 15 Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer the estimated amount to 16 the Audit Expense Fund. 17 The Auditor General may bill entities that are not subject 18 to the above transfer provisions, including private entities, 19 related organizations and entities whose funds are locally 20 held, for the cost of audits, studies, and investigations 21 incurred on their behalf. Any revenues received under this 22 provision shall be deposited into the Audit Expense Fund. 23 In the event that moneys on deposit in any fund are 24 unavailable, by reason of deficiency or any other reason 25 preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall 26 order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer the HB4549 - 14 - LRB104 17091 TRT 30510 b 1 amount deficient or otherwise unavailable from the General 2 Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund. 3 On or before December 1, 1992, and each December 1 4 thereafter, the Auditor General shall notify the Governor's 5 Office of Management and Budget (formerly Bureau of the 6 Budget) of the amount estimated to be necessary to pay for 7 audits, studies, and investigations in accordance with the 8 Illinois State Auditing Act during the next succeeding fiscal 9 year for each State fund for which a transfer or reimbursement 10 is anticipated. 11 Beginning with fiscal year 1994 and during each fiscal 12 year thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State 13 Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds 14 authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the event 15 funds, including federal and State trust funds but excluding 16 the General Revenue Fund, are transferred, during fiscal year 17 1994 and during each fiscal year thereafter, in excess of the 18 amount to pay actual costs attributable to audits, studies, 19 and investigations as permitted or required by the Illinois 20 State Auditing Act or specific action of the General Assembly, 21 the Auditor General shall, on September 30, or as soon 22 thereafter as is practicable, direct the State Comptroller and 23 Treasurer to transfer the excess amount back to the fund from 24 which it was originally transferred. 25 (Source: P.A. 103-8, eff. 6-7-23; 103-129, eff. 6-30-23; 26 103-588, eff. 6-5-24; 104-2, eff. 6-16-25; 104-453, eff.
