1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by adding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Section 5.719 and changing Section 8h as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (30 ILCS 105/5.719 new) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 5.719. The Soil and Water Conservation District Fund. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (30 ILCS 105/8h)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Sec. 8h. Transfers to General Revenue Fund. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Section 8n of this Act, and
notwithstanding any other
State law | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | to the contrary, the Governor
may, through June 30, 2007, from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | time to time direct the State Treasurer and Comptroller to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | transfer
a specified sum from any fund held by the State | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Treasurer to the General
Revenue Fund in order to help defray | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | the State's operating costs for the
fiscal year. The total | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | transfer under this Section from any fund in any
fiscal year | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the revenues to be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year or (ii) an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25% of the July | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 1 fund balance of that fiscal year. In fiscal year 2005 only, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | prior to calculating the July 1, 2004 final balances, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Governor may calculate and direct the State Treasurer with the | ||||||
2 | Comptroller to transfer additional amounts determined by | ||||||
3 | applying the formula authorized in Public Act 93-839 to the | ||||||
4 | funds balances on July 1, 2003.
No transfer may be made from a | ||||||
5 | fund under this Section that would have the
effect of reducing | ||||||
6 | the available balance in the fund to an amount less than
the | ||||||
7 | amount remaining unexpended and unreserved from the total | ||||||
8 | appropriation
from that fund estimated to be expended for that | ||||||
9 | fiscal year. This Section does not apply to any
funds that are | ||||||
10 | restricted by federal law to a specific use, to any funds in

16 | Program Fund, the Supreme Court Federal Projects Fund, the | ||||||
17 | Supreme Court Special State Projects Fund, the Supplemental | ||||||
18 | Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund, the Good Samaritan Energy | ||||||
19 | Trust Fund, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Facility | ||||||
20 | Development and Operation Fund, the Horse Racing Equity Trust | ||||||
21 | Fund, the Metabolic Screening and Treatment Fund, or the | ||||||

funds to | ||||||
23 | which Section 70-50 of the Nurse Practice Act applies. No | ||||||
24 | transfers may be made under this Section from the Pet | ||||||
25 | Population Control Fund. Notwithstanding any
other provision | ||||||
26 | of this Section, for fiscal year 2004,
the total transfer under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section from the Road Fund or the State
Construction | ||||||
2 | Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the | ||||||
3 | revenues to be deposited
into the fund during that fiscal year | ||||||
4 | or (ii) 25% of the beginning balance in the fund.
For fiscal | ||||||
5 | year 2005 through fiscal year 2007, no amounts may be | ||||||
6 | transferred under this Section from the Road Fund, the State | ||||||
7 | Construction Account Fund, the Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
8 | Systems Trust Fund, the Wireless Service Emergency Fund, or the | ||||||
9 | Mandatory Arbitration Fund.
| ||||||
10 | In determining the available balance in a fund, the | ||||||
11 | Governor
may include receipts, transfers into the fund, and | ||||||
12 | other
resources anticipated to be available in the fund in that | ||||||
13 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
14 | The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall transfer the | ||||||
