§ 6a-6

(1) Unless otherwise provided for in this Section, all items of income received by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy shall be deposited in a local clearing account paid into the State Treasury without delay and not later than 10 days after the receipt of such items of income. All such moneys shall be paid into a special fund in the State Treasury to be known as the "IMSA Income Fund". The General Assembly shall from time to time make appropriations payable from the IMSA Income Fund for the support and improvement of the academy. (2) The following items of income shall be retained by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in its own treasury: endowment funds, gifts, and trust funds; alumni dues and contributions; funds of any alumni association or organization, or any foundation related to the Academy; monies of the IMSA Fund for the Advancement of Education; funds received in connection with the retention, receipt, assignment, license, sale or transfer of interests in, rights to, or income from discoveries, inventions, patents, or copyrightable works; laboratory fees, fees for testing; supplementary food service fees received for payment to a food service vendor; refundable deposits; funds received from student or staff health programs; and moneys received for student athletics or student activities. Whenever such funds retained by the Academy in its own treasury or held in a local clearing account are deposited with a bank or savings and loan association and the amount of the deposit exceeds the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage, a bond or pledged securities shall be obtained. Only the types of securities which the State treasurer may, in his discretion, accept for amounts not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation under Section 11 of "An Act in relation to State moneys", approved June 28, 1919, as amended, may be accepted as pledged securities. The market value of the bond or pledged securities shall at all times be equal to or greater than the uninsured portion of the deposit. (3) For purposes of implementing this Amendatory act of 1989, the Academy is authorized to transfer monies held in its treasury at the time of the effective date of this Act into the IMSA Income Fund in the State Treasury. (4) The IMSA Special Purposes Trust Fund, held outside the State Treasury by the State Treasurer as ex officio custodian, shall receive the following items of income: federal aid and funds received in connection with contracts with governmental, public or private agencies or persons. Disbursements from this fund shall be by warrants drawn by the State Comptroller on receipt of vouchers duly executed and certified by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. All federal monies received as reimbursement for expenditures from the General Revenue Fund and that were made for the purposes authorized for expenditures from the IMSA Special Purposes Trust Fund shall be deposited by the Academy into the General Revenue Fund. For purposes of implementing this amendatory Act of 1991, the Academy is authorized to transfer monies held in the IMSA Income Fund on the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1991 into the IMSA Special Purposes Trust Fund; provided, monies so transferred shall not exceed the amount that would be in the IMSA Special Purposes Trust Fund had such Fund been in existence when the monies were received.
