(a) After the Authority has certified to the Governor that the financially distressed city has completed 10 successive years of balanced budgets: (1) The powers and responsibilities granted or imposed upon the Authority and the financially distressed city under Section 8-12-13 and Sections 8-12-15 through 8-12-21 shall not be exercised, except as otherwise provided under subsection (b) of this Section. (2) The provisions of Section 8-12-14 shall continue in full force and effect. The financially distressed city shall file with the Authority and with the Illinois Finance Authority, not later than 15 days prior to the commencement of the first fiscal year with respect to which the powers and responsibilities granted or imposed under Section 8-12-13 and Sections 8-12-15 through 8-12-21 are not to be exercised, and not later than 15 days prior to the commencement of each fiscal year thereafter, a balanced Budget as adopted by the financially distressed city for such fiscal year. In addition, for each fiscal year with respect to which the powers and responsibilities granted or imposed under Section 8-12-13 and Sections 8-12-15 through 8-12-21 are not to be exercised, the financially distressed city shall file with the Authority and with the Illinois Finance Authority a certified copy of the same audit report and supplemental report which are required to be made and filed for such fiscal year by the city under the Illinois Municipal Auditing Law, the filing with the Authority and the Illinois Finance Authority to be made within the time provided for the filing of such audit report and supplemental report with the State Comptroller under Section 8-8-4. (b) The Authority and the Illinois Finance Authority shall review each Budget, audit report and supplemental report filed with them as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a). In the event the financially distressed city fails to file any Budget or certified copy of an audit report or supplemental report as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a), or in the event the Illinois Finance Authority, after consultation with the Authority, determines that the Budget adopted by the financially distressed city and filed as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) is not balanced as required under Section 8-12-14, the Illinois Finance Authority shall certify such failure to file, or failure to adopt a Budget which is balanced as required, to the Governor; and concurrent with that certification, the Authority established under Section 8-12-5 and the financially distressed city shall resume the exercise and performance of their respective powers and responsibilities pursuant to each Section of this Division. (c) When the Illinois Finance Authority determines that all of its Obligations have been fully paid and discharged or otherwise provided for, it shall certify that fact to the Governor; and the Authority established under Section 8-12-5 shall be abolished 30 days after the date of that certification. Upon abolition of the Authority as provided in this subsection, this Division shall have no further force or effect upon the financially distressed city.
