    AN ACT concerning regulation.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 3. The State Finance Act  is amended  by changing 
Section 8h as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 105/8h)


    Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund.  
    (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding 
any other
State law to the contrary, the Governor


may, through 
June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and 
Comptroller to transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by 
the State Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to 
help defray the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year.  
The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any

fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the 
revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year 
or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% 
of the July 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 
2005 only, prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final 
balances, the Governor may calculate and direct the State 
Treasurer with the Comptroller to transfer additional amounts 
determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act 
93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may 
be made from a fund under this Section that would have the

effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an 
amount less than
the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved 
from the total appropriation
from that fund estimated to be 
expended for that fiscal year.  This Section does not apply to 
any
funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use, 
to any funds in
the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Hospital Provider 
Fund, the Medicaid Provider Relief Fund, or the Reviewing Court 
Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund, or to any
funds to which 
subsection (f) of Section 20-40 of the Nursing and Advanced 
Practice Nursing Act applies.  Notwithstanding any
other 
provision of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total 
transfer under this Section from the Road Fund or the State

Construction Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% 
of the revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that 
fiscal year or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.

For fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may 
be transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State 
Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information 
Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the 
Mandatory Arbitration Fund.

    In determining the available balance in a fund, the 
Governor


may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and 
other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that 
fiscal year.


    The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the 
amounts designated
under this Section as soon as may be 
practicable after receiving the direction
to transfer from the 
Governor.


    (b) This Section does not apply to any fund established 
under the Community Senior Services and Resources Act.

    (c) This Section does not apply to moneys set aside in the 
Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund for podiatric 
scholarships and residency programs under the Podiatric 
Scholarship and Residency Act.

    Section 5. The Podiatric Medical Practice Act of 1987 is 
amended  by changing Section 19 as follows:
 



    (225 ILCS 100/19)  (from Ch. 111, par. 4819)



    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2008)

    Sec. 19. Disciplinary Fund. All fees and fines received by 
the Department
under this Act shall be deposited in the 
Illinois State Podiatric
Disciplinary Fund, a special fund 
created hereunder in the State Treasury.  Of
the moneys 
deposited into the Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund, 
during each 2-year renewal period, $200,000
15%
of the money 
received from the payment of renewal fees shall be used for

podiatric scholarships and residency programs under the 
Podiatric Scholarship
and Residency Act and the remainder shall 
be appropriated to the Department for
expenses of the 
Department and of the Podiatric Medical Licensing Board and for

podiatric scholarships and residency programs under the 
Podiatric Scholarship
and Residency Act.

    Moneys in the Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund 
may be
invested and reinvested in investments authorized for 
the investment of funds
of the State Employees' Retirement 
System of Illinois.

    All earnings received from such investments shall be 
deposited in the
Illinois State Podiatric Disciplinary Fund and 
may be used for the
same purposes as fees deposited in such 
fund.

    Moneys in the Fund may be transferred to the Professions 
Indirect Cost Fund
as authorized under Section 2105-300 of the 
Department of
Professional Regulation Law (20 ILCS 
2105/2105-300).

    Moneys set aside for podiatric scholarships and residency 
programs under the Podiatric Scholarship and Residency Act, as 
provided for in this Section, may not be transferred under 
Section 8h of the State Finance Act.

    Upon the completion of any audit of the Department as 
prescribed by the
Illinois State Auditing Act which includes an 
audit of the Illinois State
Podiatric Disciplinary Fund, the 
Department shall make the audit
open to inspection by any 
interested person.
