10agencies and programs that have demonstrated a focus on the
11prevention of waste and the maximum yield from resources.

12forth in Section 50-25 of this Law.
13 For the purposes of Article VIII, Section 2 of the 1970
14Illinois Constitution, the State budget for the following funds

8associated with the recognition of Section 25 of the State

20revenues in the current fiscal year, the deficit shall be
21considered as a use of funds in the budgeted fiscal year.
22 Revenues and expenditures shall also include transfers
23between funds that are based on revenues received or costs
24incurred during the budget year.
25 Appropriations for expenditures shall also include all
26anticipated statutory continuing appropriation obligations

2year.

6Section and report those estimates to the General Assembly and
7the Governor.
8 For all funds other than the budgeted funds, the proposed
9expenditures shall not exceed funds estimated to be available
10for the fiscal year as shown in the budget. Appropriation for a
11fiscal year shall not exceed funds estimated by the General
12Assembly to be available during that year.

14report with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the
15House of Representatives containing the following:

10budgets submitted by the Governor and appropriations made by
11the General Assembly for all executive branch State agencies
12must adhere to a method of budgeting where each priority must
13be justified each year according to merit rather than according
14to the amount appropriated for the preceding year.
