&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Treasurer of Illinois&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a constitutional officer in the [[executive branch]] of [[Government of Illinois|government]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Illinois]]. Seventy-four individuals have occupied the office of Treasurer since statehood. The incumbent is [[Mike Frerichs]], a [[Democratic Party of Illinois|Democrat]]. A former [[Champaign County, Illinois|Champaign County]] auditor and [[Illinois State Senate|state senator]], Frerichs was first elected to lead the state treasury in 2014 following a close race with [[Illinois Republican Party|Republican]] candidate [[Tom Cross (politician)|Tom Cross]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Eligibility and term of office==&lt;br /&gt;
The Treasurer is elected for a renewable four-year term during the quadrennial mid-term election. The [[Constitution of Illinois|Illinois Constitution]] provides that the Treasurer must, at the time of their election, be a United States citizen, at least 25 years old, and a resident of the state for at least three years preceding the election.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://ilga.gov/commission/lrb/con5.htm|title=Article V, Sections  2 and 3, Illinois Constitution|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers and duties==&lt;br /&gt;
The Treasurer is charged by Article V, Section 18 of the [[Constitution of Illinois|Illinois Constitution]] with the [[Fiduciary|safekeeping]] and [[investment]] of the monies and securities deposited into the state treasury.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://ilga.gov/commission/lrb/con5.htm|title=Article V, Section 18, Illinois Constitution|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As such, the Treasurer is not the [[chief financial officer]] of Illinois. That role is occupied by a separate elected official, the [[Illinois Comptroller|Comptroller]]. Rather, the Treasurer functions as the chief [[Bank|banking]] and [[Chief investment officer|investment officer]] for the state of Illinois. In this capacity, the Treasurer [[Receiver general|receives]] payments made to the state, [[Deposit (finance)|deposit]]s monies with approved [[depository institutions]], [[Fund accounting|accounts]] for and [[Treasury management|manages]] the state&amp;#039;s [[Accounting liquidity|daily fund balances]], directs and administers the [[Investment management|investment]] of the state&amp;#039;s [[Portfolio (finance)|portfolio]] of operating and proprietary funds, [[arbitrage]]s bonds [[Bond (finance)#Issuance|issued]] by the [[Governor of Illinois|Governor]], [[Debt service coverage ratio|services]] principal and interest payable on state debt, and [[disbursement|disburses]] public monies in redemption of [[Warrant of payment|warrants]] drawn by the Comptroller.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=210&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=State Treasurer Act|work=[[Illinois General Assembly]]|access-date=February 15, 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=213&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=Deposit of State Moneys Act|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=214&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=Securities Safekeeping Act|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=215&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=Destruction of Indebtedness Certificates Act|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=508&amp;amp;ChapterID=7|title=General Obligation Bond Act|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 25, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other programs have been assigned to the Treasurer&amp;#039;s office by law. For example, the Treasurer collects [[estate taxes]] due the state, approves the encumbrance of [[federal funds]], offers various [[impact investing|impact investment]] programs to [[Farm Credit System|farmers]], [[small business financing|small businesses]] and [[Undercapitalization|undercapitalized communities]], and administers both [[escheats]] and [[unclaimed property]] accruing to the state.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Individuals/Estate_Tax|title=Estate Tax|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=212&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=Treasruer as Custodian of Funds Act|publisher=Illinois General Assembly|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Invest_in_Illinois/Overview|title=Invest in Illinois: Overview|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://icash.illinoistreasurer.gov/|title=Icash, the Unclaimed Property Program for the State of Illinois|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Treasurer also facilitates tax-advantaged [[ABLE account|ABLE]], [[529 plan|college savings]], and [[401(k)|retirement savings]] programs to Illinoisans and provides a voluntary [[Government investment pool|local government investment pool]] to Illinois&amp;#039; 9,600 or so counties, cities, villages, towns, school districts, and other localities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Individuals/ABLE|title=ABLE|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Individuals/College_Savings|title=College Savings|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Individuals/Secure_Choice|title=Secure Choice|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.illinoistreasurer.gov/Local_Governments/The_Illinois_Funds|title=The Illinois Funds|publisher=Office of the Illinois Treasurer|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In addition to these routine functions, the Treasurer is concurrently an ex officio member of the State Board of Investment (ISBI), an independent state agency that oversees the investment of Illinois&amp;#039; [[Pension|public pension funds]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.isbinvestment.com/board/|title=Board|publisher=Illinois State Board of Investment|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ISBI&amp;#039;s [[assets under management]] totaled $31.5 billion at the close of the 2024 fiscal year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.isbinvestment.com/#|title=About Us|publisher=Illinois State Board of Investment|access-date=July 24, 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from functional responsibilities, the Treasurer is constitutionally fifth (behind the [[Lieutenant Governor of Illinois|Lieutenant Governor]], [[Illinois Attorney General|Attorney General]], [[Illinois Secretary of State|Secretary of State]], and Comptroller, respectively) in the [[Gubernatorial lines of succession in the United States#Illinois|line of succession]] to the office of [[Governor of Illinois]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ilga.gov/commission/lrb/conent.htm| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211022/http://www.ilga.gov/commission/lrb/conent.htm| archive-date=2021-10-22|title=Constitution of the State of Illinois|work=[[Illinois General Assembly]]|access-date=August 22, 2019}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=183&amp;amp;ChapterID=4|title=Illinois Compiled Statutes 15 ILCS 5 — Governor Succession Act.|work=[[Illinois General Assembly]]|access-date=August 23, 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Proposals to merge with Comptroller==&lt;br /&gt;
Some observers have perceived an overlap between the offices of Treasurer of Illinois and Comptroller of Illinois, and have therefore proposed constitutional amendments to merge the two offices and earn administrative savings.  For example, HJRCA 14, considered by the [[Illinois General Assembly]] in 2007-2008, would have merged the two offices into the office of a single State Fiscal Officer.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;HJRCA 14&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;House Joint Resolution - Constitutional Amendment 14&amp;quot;, accessed April 12, 2008.[http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=14&amp;amp;GAID=9&amp;amp;GA=95&amp;amp;DocTypeID=HJRCA&amp;amp;LegID=28840&amp;amp;SessionID=51]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, the incumbent Treasurer along with the Comptroller (also former Treasurer) Judy Baar Topinka introduced legislation to allow voters to decide whether the offices should be merged.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Move to Allow Vote&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=McQUEARY|first=KRISTEN|title=Move to Allow Vote to Merge Treasurer and Comptroller Jobs Stalls in House|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/us/illinois-voters-may-vote-whether-to-merge-treasurer-and-comptroller-jobs.html| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211022/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/us/illinois-voters-may-vote-whether-to-merge-treasurer-and-comptroller-jobs.html| archive-date=2021-10-22|access-date=11 January 2012|newspaper=The New York Times|date=December 31, 2011}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The legislation was opposed by [[Michael Madigan]], [[Speaker (politics)|Speaker]] of the [[Illinois House of Representatives]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Block of merger&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=WETTERICH|first=CHRIS|title=Madigan blocking merger of treasurer, comptroller&amp;#039;s offices|url=http://www.sj-r.com/top-stories/x795262278/Madigan-blocking-proposed-merger-of-treasurer-comptrollers-offices| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20211022/http://www.sj-r.com/top-stories/x795262278/Madigan-blocking-proposed-merger-of-treasurer-comptrollers-offices| archive-date=2021-10-22|access-date=11 January 2012|newspaper=THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER|date=8 June 2011}}{{cbignore}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
