HB 3226

Abstract

Amends the Working Cash Fund Article of the School Code. Provides that only moneys earned as interest from the investment of a working cash fund may be permanently transferred (instead of moneys earned as interest from the investment of a working cash fund may be transferred) from the working cash fund to another fund of the school district that is most in need of the interest without any requirement of repayment to the working cash fund. Provides that once a district abolishes its working cash fund, the district may not create a working cash fund until the expiration of 5 years from the end of the fiscal year in which the district adopted the resolution to abolish its working cash fund (instead of providing that a school district that has abolished or abated its working cash fund has the authority to again create a working cash fund at any time). Repeals provisions allowing a school district to abate its working cash fund at any time. Instead, adds provisions prohibiting a school district from abating its working cash fund. Effective immediately.
