The General Fund and Consumer Counsel & Public Utility Control Fund deficits have been addressed by Public Act 93-402, subsequently modified by Public Act 95-178, which among other things, requires any GAAP deficits for budgeted funds existing as of June 30, 1997 to be amortized in fifteen equal increments beginning with the annual budget for fiscal year 1998-99. The Lottery & OTB Fund deficit was caused by various GAAP adjustments and no action has been addressed at this time to eliminate the deficit.

Although the Second Injury and Compensation Assurance Fund continues to run a deficit balance, the deficit has decreased from the prior fiscal year.

While the unreserved retained earnings of Correction Industries, Bradley, CRRA, CII, and CDA have a deficit balance, the total fund equity of each fund is still positive.
