§ 9b-5 — Appropriations for capital projects

(a) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, a construction agency, as defined in the Illinois Procurement Code, that has unobligated funds appropriated for capital projects relating to the legislative complex that it will not expend during the fiscal year may enter into an agreement with the Architect of the Capitol for the expenditure of the funds by the Architect of the Capitol on the improvement, construction, historic preservation, restoration, maintenance, repair, and landscaping of buildings and facilities within the legislative complex, as defined in Article 8A of the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984, during the fiscal year, including any lapse period, in which the funds were appropriated to the construction agency. The Architect of the Capitol shall file copies of the agreement with the State Comptroller and the State Treasurer.
