11
transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State 
12
Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray 
13
the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year.  The total 
14
transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year 
15
shall not exceed the lesser of 8% of the revenues to be 
16
deposited
into the fund during that year or 25% of the

the

amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total 
21
appropriation
from that fund for that fiscal year.  This Section
